@happyvertical/smrt-app-mcp

App-runtime MCP server scaffolding for s-m-r-t apps. Provides:

Core — createMcpAppServer({ smrtOptions, serverInfo, allowedClassNames, publicToolPatterns?, toolListCache?, toolPolicy?, workflowAssertions? }) returning { listTools, callTool } wired to @happyvertical/smrt-core/generators/mcp.
SvelteKit adapters (./sveltekit) — mountMcpRoute mounts a modern 2026-07-28 stateless Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. The REST-shaped mountMcpToolsRoute / mountMcpCallRoute aliases remain available for one release while applications migrate.

For piping a deployed app's MCP surface to a local stdio MCP client, see @happyvertical/smrt-app-cli — the client-side runtime CLI exposes a startMcpBridge() default and a generic smrt-mcp-bridge bin.

For public deployments, follow the remote MCP authorization contract. This package trusts the principal supplied by the application adapter; it does not implement an OAuth authorization server or validate bearer tokens itself.

import { createMcpAppServer, McpAccessError } from '@happyvertical/smrt-app-mcp';

    },

mountMcpRoute is a modern-only, fetch-style Streamable HTTP endpoint. It serves server/discover, tools/list, and tools/call with the SDK's 2026-07-28 envelope. It advertises the optional io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks extension only when an allowed object enables MCP tasks (mcp: { tasks: [...] }); task-aware clients can then call tasks/get, tasks/update, and tasks/cancel. Application deployments must run a TaskRunner for the mcp-tasks queue. Task lifecycle operations require a stable authenticated principal id; include its tenantId in the principal when the application uses tenant-scoped objects. Tool discovery is deterministically ordered by name. Stock MCP clients send the required Mcp-Method header (and Mcp-Name for tools/call); the mount validates them against the JSON-RPC body and returns the protocol HeaderMismatch error (-32020, HTTP 400) for a missing or mismatched header.

tools/list emits the required cache metadata with a one-day, private default. Shared (public) caching is intentionally exceptional: set toolListCache: { cacheScope: 'public', publicCatalog: true } only for a reviewed catalog where every allowed tool is unauthenticated, read-only, and global. The server verifies that shape (including the absence of tenant-scoped tools and principal-aware policy) and falls back to private otherwise.

The route constructs a fresh protocol server for every HTTP request. It relies on no transport session state, sticky load-balancer routing, or held event stream, so it is safe behind ordinary round-robin deployment. This mount exposes no subscription capability; subscription requests are refused as a JSON-RPC error before any SSE stream opens. Persist stateful workflow progress in application objects, then pass their explicit s-m-r-t object id back to the next tool call:

// `basket_create` returns an object with id "basket-123".
await client.callTool({
  name: 'basket_additem',
  arguments: { id: 'basket-123', productId: 'product-456' },
});

Deprecated REST compatibility

Applications that have not moved their route path can retain the deprecated handlers below while they migrate. They are REST-shaped compatibility aliases, not an MCP transport. Direct calls to a tool outside the app allow-list continue to receive the safe 404 behavior.

// src/routes/api/mcp/tools/+server.ts
import { mountMcpToolsRoute } from '@happyvertical/smrt-app-mcp/sveltekit';
import { mcpServer } from '$lib/server/mcp';
export const GET = mountMcpToolsRoute(mcpServer);

// src/routes/api/mcp/call/+server.ts
import { mountMcpCallRoute } from '@happyvertical/smrt-app-mcp/sveltekit';
import { mcpServer } from '$lib/server/mcp';
export const POST = mountMcpCallRoute(mcpServer);

toolPolicy is evaluated for every tool eligible under the allow-list and base public/authenticated rule, on both discovery and a direct call. Return false to hide the tool from discovery and deny a direct call with the safe, non-retryable mcp_tool_access_denied code. Its HTTP response is the shared structured failure envelope under error (ok: false, code, message, status, retryable) and never includes tool, principal, scope, or policy-error details. Policy errors also fail closed. The default remains unchanged: unauthenticated callers only see/read tools selected by publicToolPatterns.

SvelteKit mounts resolve event.locals.user once as the principal for both routes. Use resolvePrincipal when your app stores a human or scoped-service principal elsewhere; resolveUser remains a legacy compatibility alias. resolveAuthenticated is also retained as a deprecated legacy gate; when a new resolvePrincipal is not supplied, it makes that same route principal unauthenticated for both discovery and calls. If an older mount supplies only resolveAuthenticated: () => true and no principal, discovery keeps its old boolean behavior while calls remain user-less as before; migrate that mount to resolvePrincipal for one identity across both routes.
