feat: add native MCP Streamable HTTP transport

[donbowman]

Description

Add a streamable-http transport to 'mnemosyne mcp' (alias 'http') so clients POST JSON-RPC directly to a single /mcp endpoint with no /messages route to proxy. Reuses the mcp SDK 2.x Server.streamable_http_app over the shared pure-ASGI bearer middleware; auth policy matches SSE (loopback = no token, non-loopback requires MNEMOSYNE_MCP_TOKEN).

• run_mcp_server/main accept --transport streamable-http|http, --path (default /mcp) and --json-response
• rename auth gate to _resolve_http_auth with _resolve_sse_auth alias
• new tests: tests/test_mcp_streamable_http.py
• docs: README, cli-reference, comparison, hermes-integration, Dockerfile, CHANGELOG, generated tool-schema.mdx (generator updated)
• uv.lock refreshed to satisfy the declared mcp>=2.0.0 (was stale at 1.28.1)

Summary

Adds native MCP Streamable HTTP support to mnemosyne mcp.

Agent integration

• Adds streamable-http transport and http alias.
• Adds configurable --path and --json-response options.
• Uses MCP SDK 2.x Server.streamable_http_app.
• Supports GET, POST, and DELETE through one endpoint.
• Updates Hermes, CLI, Docker, and MCP documentation.
• Adds end-to-end coverage for responses, streaming, session teardown, authentication, routing, and security policies.

Privacy and local-first behavior

• Reuses pure-ASGI bearer authentication for SSE and Streamable HTTP.
• Allows tokenless access only for exact SDK-recognized loopback hosts.
• Requires MNEMOSYNE_MCP_TOKEN and MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS for non-loopback deployments.
• Supports optional MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS restrictions.
• Preserves loopback binding and the /mcp default endpoint.
• Expands remote agent access with explicit token, Host, and Origin controls.
• The fail-closed Host policy and exact loopback matching are the right call for safer deployment.
• No changes erode local-first storage, data handling, or synchronization.

Core memory architecture

• Does not change working, episodic, or BEAM memory tiers.
• Does not change retrieval, consolidation, veracity, synchronization, or benchmark methodology.
• Does not change memory storage or synchronization behavior.

Maintainability

• Uses the SDK-native transport instead of a custom /messages proxy route.
• Centralizes bearer authentication while preserving existing SSE behavior.
• Adds focused tests for middleware, lifespan, routing, authentication, security policy, aliases, CLI forwarding, responses, streaming, and teardown.
• Updates generated configuration and schema documentation.
• Requires MCP SDK >=2.0.0 consistently and documents the lockfile upgrade.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP server now supports native Streamable HTTP alongside stdio and SSE. It adds configurable paths, JSON responses, bearer authentication, Host/Origin validation, CLI options, tests, dependency updates, and documentation.

Changes

MCP Streamable HTTP transport

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared HTTP bearer authentication mnemosyne/mcp_server.py	Shared bearer middleware protects SSE and Streamable HTTP. Loopback-aware token handling and Host/Origin validation are implemented.
Streamable HTTP runtime and CLI wiring mnemosyne/mcp_server.py	The server supports configurable paths, JSON responses, streamable-http and http transports, uvicorn startup, and new CLI options.
Documentation and regression coverage README.md, Dockerfile, docs/*, scripts/generate-docs.py, skills/hermes-memory-providers/SKILL.md, CHANGELOG.md, UPDATING.md, setup.py, tests/*	Documentation, deployment examples, generated configuration text, changelog entries, upgrade notes, dependency requirements, and regression tests describe the new transport and security settings.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 20e3a

This change adds a remotely usable MCP HTTP endpoint, but the current head still has an authentication failure that can turn unauthenticated requests into server errors, a compatibility risk for installations resolving MCP SDK 1.x instead of the required 2.x, and an externally exposed example with a predictable token. These security, availability, and runtime/deployment issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Keep the assertion verifying that the loopback app does not install bearer
middleware.
- Around line 189-228: Add positive and negative coverage to
TestStreamableHttpBearerRejection: verify Bearer supersecret is not rejected, a
non-ASCII credential such as Bearer \xff returns 401 rather than 500, and a

Protect ip6-localhost or require authentication.

MCP SDK 2.0.0 auto-enables DNS-rebinding protection only for 127.0.0.1, localhost, and ::1. For ip6-localhost, protection is disabled because no TransportSecuritySettings is passed, while _resolve_http_auth still permits unauthenticated access.

[dplush]

Thanks for the substantial Streamable HTTP implementation. I verified the current head bbced6c: the non-loopback auth gate, byte-based bearer handling, DNS-rebinding behavior, MCP 2.0 lifecycle, CLI wiring, and lockfile are all heading in the right direction.

Two merge-blocking items remain for the new public transport:

1. Exercise an authenticated MCP operation end to end. The current non-loopback coverage proves middleware behavior and routing, but it does not prove a valid bearer can complete an MCP operation behind the middleware. Please add a test that uses a non-loopback app with a valid bearer, performs initialize, then tools/list or tools/call, and asserts the JSON-RPC success plus operation result. Keep the existing /not-found test as the middleware-isolation control.

2. Correct the changelog endpoint wording. Streamable HTTP exposes one configurable endpoint supporting GET, POST, and DELETE; clients post JSON-RPC directly to it. Please avoid describing it as a POST /mcp-only endpoint.

No further scope is requested. Once these two focused changes land, I’m happy to re-review the updated head.

[dplush]

Thanks. I re-reviewed the current head a204634.

One security-contract blocker remains for the new network-facing transport: on a non-loopback bind, a valid bearer currently permits requests with arbitrary Host and Origin values. The bearer middleware authenticates the caller, but it does not establish the Host/Origin policy required at the Streamable HTTP boundary.

This is a public security-policy decision, not just another test detail. Could @AxDSan please confirm the intended contract for non-loopback deployments?

My recommended safe default is:

• loopback remains tokenless and keeps the SDK’s standard DNS-rebinding protection;
• non-loopback requires a bearer token and an explicit operator-defined Host/Origin policy.

I would not introduce a finished configuration surface before that decision is made. Once the policy is agreed, the implementation and regression tests can stay narrowly scoped to that contract.

Until then, I do not think the remotely exposed HTTP mode is ready to merge.

do you want me to change the SSE implementation too then? or just this one?

I have made the changes solely for HTTP streamable, ignoring SSE, in 152bc81 . since i think the primary client is an sdk or cli (e.g. opencode), the origin is optional.

Closing this out: all requested items are addressed on the updated head.

1. Authenticated MCP operation end to end - test_valid_bearer_completes_initialize_and_tools_list drives a non-loopback app with a valid bearer through initialize then tools/list, asserting the JSON-RPC success and the operation result; the /not-found middleware-isolation control is preserved.
2. Changelog endpoint wording - the entry now describes the single configurable endpoint (--path, default /mcp) handling GET, POST, and DELETE; no POST-only phrasing remains.
3. Non-loopback security contract - implemented fail-closed as proposed: loopback stays tokenless with the SDK's DNS-rebinding protection; non-loopback requires MNEMOSYNE_MCP_TOKEN and, for streamable-http, MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, with MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS optional and narrowing-only. Applied solely to the Streamable HTTP transport (SSE unchanged, as discussed) and documented in the cli-reference, generated config docs, hermes-integration page, and changelog.

No further scope expected; thanks for the review.

Making the call that has been owed here: this is the canonical Streamable HTTP transport. #599 is superseded, and I have said so there.

Three reasons, in order of weight:

SDK-native transport over a hand-rolled route. Using Server.streamable_http_app from MCP SDK 2.x means the wire behavior tracks the SDK rather than our own /messages proxy. Every custom transport route is a thing that drifts from the spec on someone else's release schedule, and this repo has enough surface to maintain already.

One auth answer, not two. Reusing the shared pure-ASGI bearer middleware so SSE and Streamable HTTP resolve auth through the same gate is the part that matters most long term. Two transports with two independently-evolving auth paths is how a bypass gets shipped. Renaming to _resolve_http_auth with the _resolve_sse_auth alias is the right shape.

Fail-closed by default. Requiring MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS for non-loopback, keeping SDK DNS-rebinding protection, and rejecting disallowed Host and Origin values is the correct posture for a transport that exists to be reached from off-box. Tokenless loopback preserves the local-first default without weakening the remote case.

To be explicit for anyone reading this later: #599 is not worse work. It was opened on July 30, before the SDK 2.x transport was a practical option, and it solved the problem with what existed then. It sat for three weeks because I did not make this call, which is the actual reason two implementations exist.

Two conditions before merge:

1. [FEATURE] Add Streamable HTTP MCP transport #598 stays open as the tracking issue and is credited in the CHANGELOG entry alongside this PR. @ekinnee filed the issue and shipped an implementation for it in the same window; the entry should say so.
2. The uv.lock refresh to satisfy mcp>=2.0.0 needs a note in UPDATING.md. Bumping a declared floor that was stale at 1.28.1 is the kind of thing that surprises someone pinning transitively.

Branch is behind and mergeable_state reads unknown. Bring it current and I will take it through the gate.

All three blockers from the latest review are addressed on the updated head (acce0ee):

1. Docker Streamable HTTP recipe — the 0.0.0.0 recipe now supplies both required variables with fail-fast expansion: MNEMOSYNE_MCP_TOKEN and MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS (${VAR:?set VAR}), so the container refuses to start without an operator-supplied Host policy. The endpoint is now described as a single GET/POST/DELETE /mcp endpoint rather than POST-only.

2. End-to-end test — test_valid_bearer_completes_initialize_and_tools_list now decodes each response by Content-Type (JSON vs SSE data: frames) and asserts JSON-RPC id/jsonrpc, successful result shape (no error), serverInfo, and a non-empty tools list. It additionally exercises the authenticated GET session stream (200 text/event-stream) and proves DELETE terminates the session: the stream closes and a later request on the session is rejected with 404.

3. Branch drift — rebased onto current main (f52a7b6); the branch is 0 behind, 12 ahead, and the full CI-equivalent matrix is green (MNEMOSYNE_NO_EMBEDDINGS=1: 3378 passed, 6 skipped; Hermes integration: 431 passed; docs checks and ruff gates clean).

Ready for a fresh review on the new head. Thanks!

The requested Streamable HTTP fixes are present: Docker now supplies the fail-fast Host policy, the GET/POST/DELETE and JSON-RPC contract coverage is substantially stronger, CI is green, and the independent protocol review confirmed those paths.

One security blocker remains before approval. ip6-localhost is treated as unauthenticated loopback by _is_loopback, so both the bearer requirement and custom transport-security policy are skipped. MCP 2.0's default DNS-rebinding protection only covers 127.0.0.1, localhost, and ::1; it does not cover ip6-localhost. A local reproduction therefore accepted an initialization request with an arbitrary Host and Origin without bearer authentication.

Please either remove ip6-localhost from the tokenless-loopback set, or pass explicit transport security that covers it. Add a regression proving this alias cannot accept an arbitrary Host/Origin tokenlessly.

This is pre-merge only; current main is unaffected.

[donbowman]

The ip6-localhost blocker is fixed on the new head (f7fd660):

1. Fail-closed alias — ip6-localhost is removed from the tokenless-loopback set in _LOOPBACK_HOSTS. Because the mcp SDK's auto DNS-rebinding protection only covers 127.0.0.1, localhost, and ::1, the alias is now treated as non-loopback: a --host ip6-localhost bind requires MNEMOSYNE_MCP_TOKEN and MNEMOSYNE_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, so it can never serve an arbitrary Host/Origin request unauthenticated. Tokenless loopback remains available via ::1 / localhost / 127.0.0.1 (which the SDK protects).

2. Regression coverage — added at all three layers: _resolve_http_auth("ip6-localhost") refuses without a token and returns (True, token) with one; _resolve_transport_security("ip6-localhost") refuses without a Host policy; and _build_streamable_http_app(host="ip6-localhost") cannot be brought up tokenlessly while installing the bearer middleware once configured. The existing test_s1_mcp_sse_auth alias table now lists ip6-localhost as non-loopback.

3. Changelog nit — blank line added before the [2.7.0] heading (markdownlint MD022).

The branch also picked up the current main merge, and the CI-equivalent matrix is green (MNEMOSYNE_NO_EMBEDDINGS=1: 3382 passed, 6 skipped; Hermes integration: 431 passed; ruff + docs gates clean).

Ready for a fresh review. Thanks!

A follow-up security check found one more alias mismatch in the same boundary. _is_loopback() normalizes with .strip().lower(), but the MCP SDK enables its tokenless-loopback DNS-rebinding policy only for its exact host values.

On the current head, host="LOCALHOST" is accepted as tokenless loopback by Mnemosyne, but reaches the SDK as "LOCALHOST", which does not arm its loopback transport security. An initialization request using an arbitrary Host and Origin then returned 200 and minted a session.

Please make tokenless loopback recognition match the SDK's exact accepted values, rather than normalizing aliases before the SDK sees the host. For example, the predicate can compare the original host directly against the exact allowlist. Add a regression for LOCALHOST proving it requires bearer authentication and an explicit Host policy.

This is pre-merge only; current main is unaffected.

[donbowman]

The LOCALHOST alias-mismatch blocker is fixed on the new head (20e3af6):

1. Exact-match loopback recognition — _is_loopback() now compares the raw host value against the SDK's exact tokenless-loopback allowlist (127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1) with no .strip().lower() normalization. Since the mcp SDK arms its DNS-rebinding protection only for those exact strings, any alias or case/whitespace variant (LOCALHOST, LocalHost, " 127.0.0.1 ", ip6-localhost) is now treated as non-loopback and fails closed: a bearer token and an explicit Host policy are mandatory, so the SDK always receives the exact host and its protection is always armed for tokenless binds.

2. Regression coverage — LOCALHOST is covered at all three layers, mirroring the ip6-localhost regressions: _resolve_http_auth("LOCALHOST") refuses without a token and returns (True, token) with one; _resolve_transport_security("LOCALHOST") refuses without a Host policy; and _build_streamable_http_app(host="LOCALHOST") cannot be brought up tokenlessly while installing the bearer middleware once configured. The test_s1_mcp_sse_auth alias table now lists LOCALHOST / LocalHost / " 127.0.0.1 " as non-loopback.

3. Validation — CI-equivalent matrix green (MNEMOSYNE_NO_EMBEDDINGS=1: 3388 passed, 6 skipped; ruff + docs gates clean).

Ready for a fresh review. Thanks!

[dplush]

Approved on the current head. The Streamable HTTP transport is SDK-native and its authenticated GET/POST/DELETE lifecycle, JSON-RPC framing, Docker policy, MCP 2.0 floor, and non-loopback Host/Origin controls are covered. The alias security findings are fixed: only the SDK's exact tokenless loopback values remain exempt, while ip6-localhost, case variants, and whitespace variants fail closed. Current CI/CLA/CodeRabbit, the 164-test local MCP matrix, and independent protocol, Claude, and final Sol security gates are clean.
