Phase 3 — Connector contract split and cursor-based sync engine

Part of #348. Blocked by #350.

What

Split write capability out of IConnector, add cursor-based incremental sync, rebuild the watcher around sources, delete ContainerWriteGuard, and add the /api/sources endpoints plus the kind discriminator.

Why

The current sync model polls every five minutes, lists the entire remote corpus, and diffs it against an in-memory snapshot. That is O(corpus) per poll, it discards the durable cursor nearly every provider API offers, and it does not sur

Security Model Implementation Plan: Identity + PAT + JWT (Three-Tier Auth)

Summary

Research from the AI Knowledge Agent suggests a comprehensive security implementation plan for Connapse. This issue documents the recommended security model, priority order, and architectural decisions based on analysis of the current codebase and patterns used by comparable open-source platforms (Supabase, PostHog, Gitea, Bitwarden).

Current Security Posture

What's already solid:

  • Parameterized SQL queries everywhere (EF Core + NpgsqlParameter for pgvector)
  • Blazor

Add a zero-setup trial path (hosted demo or one-click deploy)

Description

The biggest friction for MCP server adoption is deployment. Top servers work instantly because they're remote-hosted. Connapse requires Docker setup before trying. A hosted demo or one-click deploy would dramatically lower the barrier.

Acceptance Criteria

  • At least one zero-setup trial path exists (pick one):
    • Public read-only demo instance with sample documents
    • "Deploy to Railway" / "Deploy to Render" button in README
    • Glama Firecracker VM hosting
  • README

Add smithery.yaml for Smithery.ai listing

Description

Smithery.ai is the second-largest MCP directory (3,305+ servers). Adding a smithery.yaml also helps Glama's indexing since they monitor Smithery. Top servers publish to both platforms.

  • smithery.yaml exists at repo root with valid schema
  • Server start command, transport type, and config schema defined
  • Server is listed on smithery.ai after submission
  • Smithery listing shows all 11 MCP tools

refactor(api): extract shared upload service to centralize validation

Description

Upload validation (filename checks, extension allowlist, zero-byte rejection, write guards) is currently duplicated across three entry points:

  • DocumentsEndpoints.cs (REST API)
  • McpTools.cs upload_file (MCP)
  • McpTools.cs bulk_upload (MCP)

Each independently validates, writes to storage, and enqueues ingestion jobs. Adding a new validation rule (like the extension allowlist in #194) requires touching all three locations.

Proposal

Permission filter is unsafe and dishonest before any resolver is connected

Sub-phase 5a of #421. The enforcement machinery landed in #426 with a default resolver that permits everything, so nothing filters yet. Several things about it are wrong, and they are much cheaper to fix now than after a real resolver is connected.

A grant can be read wider than it was written

Guided setup for the S3 connection, and credentials the container can actually see

What

A guided setup for the S3 connection, mirroring the SFTP and AWS SSO ones — but this time Connapse can do the work itself rather than handing out a script.

  1. Preflight — call sts:GetCallerIdentity from inside the container and report which identity resolved, or that none did.
  2. Pick a bucket — ListBuckets fills a dropdown, GetBucketLocation fills the region.
  3. Tighten — generate a least-privilege IAM policy scoped to the chosen bucket and prefix.
  4. Test — the

Container auto-summaries (per-doc + Stuff-or-Cluster rollup + container_describe MCP tool)

Implementation of the container auto-summary feature.

Summary

Ships auto-generated agent-optimized natural-language summaries per container, exposed via a new container_describe MCP tool and a truncated one-sentence field on container_list. Per-doc summaries generated at ingestion via ILlmProvider; container rollup uses a single LLM call in two regimes (Stuff for N≤30 docs, Cluster + medoid sampling for N>30). Debounced trigger via Channel + BackgroundService. BYOLLM via the existing

feat(mcp): Steer agents toward search_knowledge — server instructions + tool description rewrites + soft errors

Summary

MCP-connected agents (Claude Code in particular) systematically prefer list_files + get_document over search_knowledge for question-answering tasks. This issue implements the four-pattern reinforcement stack from the research brief /agent-experience/agent-rag-corpus-grounding-2026-05-22.md in connapse-product-engineering (32KB, 2026-05-22), grounded in Anthropic engineering posts, the MCP spec 2025-06-18, and arXiv 2505.18135.

Add MCP tool annotations (readOnly, destructive, idempotent hints)

Description

The MCP spec recommends tool annotations (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint`) for better client UX. Glama and other clients use these to display safety indicators.

Acceptance Criteria

  • All 11 tools have `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, and `idempotentHint` annotations
  • Destructive tools (`container_delete`, `delete_file`, `bulk_delete`) marked accordingly
  • Read-only tools (`container_list`, `container_stats`, `list_files
