feat(mcp): add AI/ML API as an opt-in built-in server - #1193
Rebuilt on upstream Twigpine/zero branch feat/aimlapi-toolbox-mcp (supersedes fork-based #1187).
Head: c3ed85a9dba23ae2f26689d9fd228944e607f42d
Copilot review follow-ups (c3ed85a): redirect hops re-apply the automatic key/attribution rule per hop (no key on a same-origin hop that fails the exact-URL rule; key re-resolved on eligible hops); HTTP error bodies are omitted when the request carried the automatic key; MCPServerConfig now serializes an explicit "disabled": false, so zero mcp enable aimlapi survives unrelated config saves. Gates on that tree: fmt-check, go vet ./..., go test ./... -race -count=1, release build, smoke, govulncheck, lint-static and git diff HEAD --check all pass (Go 1.26.10, linux/amd64).
Includes review/CodeRabbit follow-ups: MCP key precedence documented in EXTENDING.md / SECURITY.md, clearer 401 hints, env-over-store regression test, and merge with current main (web search/fetch aimlapi stack).
It exposes the AI/ML API server's Toolbox, model discovery, media generation, chat, embeddings and balance tools through Zero's existing MCP integration.
The server ships disabled because tool runs and generations can be billed to the user's AI/ML API balance.
Enable it with:
zero mcp enable aimlapi
Disable it with:
zero mcp disable aimlapi
What changed
Seeds the disabled server alongside the existing Exa default.
Persists "disabled": false when enabling a built-in server that ships off. Adding a server under the aimlapi default name also enables it.
Prevents project configuration from lifting the default disable.
Reports the untouched, disabled default as a passing zero doctor check, with instructions for enabling it.
Applies AI/ML API authentication and attribution at all three MCP header-application points, covering HTTP and SSE requests.
Adds setup and security documentation.
Credentials and attribution
The key is resolved for every request from the aimlapi provider profile, including its credential-store entry, or from AIMLAPI_API_KEY when no aimlapi profile exists. Switching to a proxy profile withholds the automatic credential on the next request.
Automatic authentication applies only to requests whose own URL uses HTTPS, the exact hostname mcp.aimlapi.com, the default port and no userinfo, regardless of the configured server name.
Zero does not inject the provider key when an Authorization header is already present, the server uses OAuth, or project configuration has touched the server. Invalid single-token credentials, including key pools, are withheld.
The automatically resolved key is kept out of server configuration, OAuth-binding identity and list output.
Matching requests also carry X-AIMLAPI-Source: agent/zero and X-AIMLAPI-Partner-ID. A 401 response includes setup guidance; users can alternatively configure OAuth and run zero mcp oauth login aimlapi.
Impact
The server appears in zero mcp list but remains disabled until explicitly enabled. Existing Exa behavior is preserved. No runtime dependencies are added.
Validation
Focused command:
go test ./internal/aimlapi ./internal/config ./internal/mcp ./internal/cli ./internal/zerocommands -run 'AIMLAPI|Attribution|TestNewBackendDoctorReportPassesShippedDefaults' -count=1 -race
Go 1.26.10 on macOS arm64: formatting, go vet ./..., release build and smoke checks passed.
Focused integration tests passed with the race detector (command above).
Tested a clean local merge with upstream main at 7c55a09. No integration source changes were needed. The published branch remains at its original head; uploading the local merge was unavailable through the current Git credentials/API connection.
Full go test ./... completed with failures in agent, cli, config, sandbox, tools and tui; some runs also failed npmwrapper tests. These include path/permission assertions and subprocess timeouts in this environment. Four agent permission tests were reproduced unchanged on clean upstream 7c55a09. The full suite is not claimed green; remaining failures need CI or a clean development environment.
govulncheck on this branch: no vulnerabilities found. Advisory static analysis reported four findings in existing upstream code in installtest, proxydial and web_fetch.go, outside the new integration code.
No paid live Toolbox calls, media generation or browser OAuth were exercised. Other platforms remain for CI.
Tests cover default configuration, CLI enable/add persistence, project trust boundaries, HTTP/SSE headers, exact-host matching, credential refresh after provider changes, manual-auth and OAuth precedence, credential isolation and doctor output.
Related work
One of three independently selectable AI/ML API integrations for Zero: Toolbox web search, Toolbox page fetching and an opt-in MCP server. Each branch includes the same shared attribution and service-key foundation. Remaining branches will be updated after the first PR lands.
Added the AI/ML API MCP server as a built-in option, disabled by default. Enable it through user settings or the CLI; project settings alone cannot enable it.
Eligible requests can use configured API credentials and include attribution headers when connecting to the official service. Existing authorization and OAuth settings take precedence.
MCP diagnostics treat the untouched, disabled built-in server as passing and explain how to enable it.
Documentation
Added guidance on built-in server defaults, credential resolution, and when credentials are not forwarded.
…vices
Adds the pieces the Toolbox and MCP integrations share:
- internal/aimlapi: X-AIMLAPI-Source (agent/zero), the fixed Toolbox and
MCP URLs, and an exact-hostname check (https, default port, no
userinfo) for api/tools/mcp.aimlapi.com before the key or attribution
headers are attached. The partner id still comes from ResolvePartnerID.
- internal/config: AIMLAPIServiceKey picks the key from the aimlapi
profile (or AIMLAPI_API_KEY without one), reading the credential
store, and withholds it when any aimlapi-keyed profile points at a
proxy base URL or AIMLAPI_INFERENCE_URL is overridden. Keys that are
not a single token are refused.
Seeds `aimlapi` (https://mcp.aimlapi.com/mcp, streamable HTTP) next to
Exa as a built-in MCP server that ships disabled: its tool runs and
generations are billed to the user's AI/ML API balance. The disable is
marked as explicitly set, so a project config cannot lift it; the user
turns it on with `zero mcp enable aimlapi`, which now writes
`"disabled": false` for a default that ships off (and `zero mcp add
aimlapi` does the same). `zero doctor` reports the untouched default as
a pass rather than a warning.
The MCP client attaches the AI/ML API key and the X-AIMLAPI-Source /
X-AIMLAPI-Partner-ID headers in one place (internal/mcp/aimlapi.go),
called from the three header-application points. Both apply only to a
request whose own URL is exactly https://mcp.aimlapi.com on the default
port, whatever the server is named. The key is resolved for every
request through config.LoadAIMLAPIServiceKey, so switching the aimlapi
provider to a proxy, or a key that is not a single token, means no
Authorization header on the next request. It is never put in config,
the server identity used for OAuth token binding, list output or errors.
A user Authorization header, `"auth": "oauth"`, or a project-touched
server goes without it. A 401 from that host explains how to add a key
or sign in with `zero mcp oauth login`.
Operator copy now matches normalizeProvider resolution (inline key,
apiKeyEnv, then credential store) and warns that AIMLAPI_API_KEY can
bill MCP before a stored profile key. SECURITY and service-key godoc
stay aligned. 401 hints no longer imply a proxy-only failure mode.
Adds a regression test that resolved profile keys win over the store.

🟡 Changes recommended
Unresolved flaws can expose injected API credentials in error output, carry them through disallowed redirects, and silently disable an enabled server after unrelated configuration saves.
Adds AI/ML API as an opt-in built-in server within Zero’s existing MCP integration. It ships disabled because tool calls may incur charges, independently of the related web-search and web-fetch integrations.
Changes:
Seeds the disabled server, adds CLI enablement persistence, and treats untouched defaults as passing doctor checks.
Adds per-request authentication, attribution headers, and 401 setup guidance for HTTP and SSE.
Documents credential precedence and adds configuration, CLI, and authentication regression tests.

…enable
Redirect hops: net/http copies the first request's headers onto every
redirect hop without calling the header hooks, so the automatic AI/ML API
key and attribution followed a same-origin hop that fails the exact-URL
rule (userinfo) and an eligible hop reused the first hop's key. The
redirect guard now restores the server's own values for those headers and
applies the per-request rule again.
Error text: httpStatusError copied up to 1 KiB of the response body into
the error, so a body echoing the injected key (or its prefix, when cut by
the read limit) reached CLI output. When the request carried the automatic
key, the body is now omitted instead of matched.
Enable persistence: MCPServerConfig had no serializer and Disabled is
omitempty, so any read-modify-write of config.json (SetTheme,
SetActiveProvider, ...) dropped `"disabled": false` and the shipped
disable turned aimlapi off again. MarshalJSON now writes the flag whenever
it was explicitly set; `zero mcp add` keeps writing only a disable.

Merge readiness
Merge base:origin/main at c9f179482 matches the PR merge-base; branch is mergeable.
Checks: All required GitHub checks pass on head c3ed85a9.
Copilot threads (redirect leak, error body echo, enable persistence): addressed on head with tests.
CodeRabbit docstring warning: advisory only; not a CI gate.
Note on prior draft (withdrawn)
An earlier draft cited P3 — sentAIMLAPIServiceKey on redirect userinfo Basic auth. Re-check against head shows that path does not fire: sentAIMLAPIServiceKey requires isAIMLAPIMCPURL(request.URL), and aimlapi.IsAttributedURL rejects any URL with userinfo (target.User != nil). Userinfo redirect hops therefore never take the “carried your AI/ML API key” body-omission branch; eligible hops only get automatic Bearer when the URL passes the same rule.
Rejected search themes (not findings)
These were in scope for review but not defects on this PR — documenting them avoids scope drift if an author tried to “fix” them:
Theme
Why not a finding
Project config touch + user enable → no auto key
Stated in docs/EXTENDING.md; intentional withhold
mcp disable then mcp add without --disabled re-enables
No stated contract to surface store errors in MCP layer
None of the above are unchanged pre-existing main bugs filed against this PR; they are either PR-intentional behavior or would be product drift to “fix” in this delta.

#1193 changed httpStatusError on main: a response to a request that
carried the injected AI/ML API key drops its body, and a 401 from that
server gets an authentication hint. Both are kept, with this branch's
truncation marking. The hint now goes before the body rather than after
it, so the retained body stays at the end of the message, which is the
only place the display repairs a cut credential. A new unit test pins
that order.
Two tests moved with main:
- #1189 made configured secrets match across separator bytes, so a
credential split by a bare ESC is now redacted with the reason kept
instead of withheld. The escape test expects that, and its real-HTTP
case now uses a CSI that eats a credential byte, which still withholds.
- #1193 added the opt-in aimlapi default, which sorts first and is
disabled, so the startup-split collision test skips disabled defaults.
* fix(mcp): scrub the injected AI/ML API key from server responses
Zero injects the user's AI/ML API key into requests to mcp.aimlapi.com
(#1193) and keeps it out of config, but only an HTTP error status left
the server's text out. A JSON-RPC error message, the method of an
unexpected message, a tool result (MCP reports a failed tool call as a
result with isError, not as an error) and a legacy SSE endpoint that
fails to parse all reached the caller as the server wrote them, so a
server that echoed the key put it in errors, in tool output sent to the
model, and in anything that prints them.
A response to a request that carried the injected key now has the key
replaced with [REDACTED] in its error text, its method and every string
of its result before anything reads it, on streamable HTTP and on the
legacy SSE transport. The SSE client scrubs both the key its stream
request carried and the one on the POST, since the key is resolved per
request. A user Authorization header, OAuth and project-configured
servers are unchanged, since nothing was injected.
The scrub uses a new redaction.RedactSecretValues: the split-aware
known-value pass RedactString applies to ExtraSecretValues, without the
shape patterns, which could otherwise rewrite tool output or base64
payloads that never held the key. A result without the key keeps its
original bytes.
* fix(mcp): scrub every key a call sent, and transport errors too
Review found two gaps. The key is resolved again for each redirect hop,
but the scrub used only the final hop's key, so a same-origin server
answering the last hop could echo an earlier hop's key. And a legacy SSE
POST that failed at the transport quoted the endpoint URL the server
chose, which can hold the stream's key, with no scrub at all.
A collector in the request context now records every key
applyAIMLAPIRequestHeaders injects during a call. net/http gives each
redirect hop the first request's context, so a later hop's key is
recorded too. Both transports scrub the response and every error the
call returns with those keys, the stream request's own errors included,
and the SSE client adds the keys its stream request sent. A scrubbed
error unwraps only to the context sentinel the original matched, so a
cancellation still reads as one without the chain that held the key.
