mcp apps: host-origin pinning, ui.domain surfacing, and per-server view origins - #4671

Conversation
The proxy loads untrusted widget HTML on request and relays that widget's messages back out, but accepted a `sandbox-resource-ready` from any parent that could frame it and answered with `postMessage(..., "*")`. claude.ai's proxy pins an explicit allowlist and locks the origin at the handshake; this does the same. - the serving routes template the deploy's host origins into the document (same idiom as the recorder shim), because only the process knows which origins this deploy answers as; - the proxy rejects a parent whose origin is not on the list, locks the first accepted one, and relays to that address instead of "*"; - an unreplaced placeholder means "no list" and keeps the old accept-anything behaviour rather than rendering nothing — so the route test asserting the placeholder IS replaced is load-bearing, and says so; - `'self'` stays in frame-ancestors (the same-origin fallback deploy is documented) but is deliberately NOT a sender: it would admit location.origin, and once views get per-app subdomains the widget is same-origin with its proxy and could pose as the host. New `sandbox-proxy-html.ts` renders the document and builds frame-ancestors from ONE list, replacing the duplicated `SANDBOX_PROXY_HTML_WITH_RECORDER` constants and the local route's hardcoded directive. An origin allowed to frame the proxy but not to talk to it renders a widget that then silently does nothing, which is the least debuggable mismatch available. `sandbox-proxy.test.ts` re-declared a look-alike route inline, so it asserted the shape of its own fixture; it now mounts the real router behind the real security middleware.

…tent route SEP-1865's `domain` is how a server asks for a dedicated origin. MCPJam derives the origin it actually serves a view from — a server-chosen string is never used for routing, since keying an origin on it would let one server claim another's storage — but the declaration has to reach the client so the Workbench can say whether it matches what a developer must really allowlist here. - resolver: `domain` joins csp/permissions/prefersBorder with the same content-over-listing precedence and per-field source reporting. Two sources only: there is no legacy `openai/widget*` equivalent. Trimmed, and an empty declaration counts as none — reporting `""` would render a mismatch against a value the server never made. - `canSkipListingLookup` deliberately does NOT require it: an advisory field should not make every render of a resource that declares the other three pay a resources/list round-trip. The narrow cost is named in a comment and pinned by a test. - all three widget-content routes return `declaredDomain`. The platform route now uses the shared resolver instead of a hand-rolled cast, so it reports the same normalized fields as the other two. - first test file for this module; existing metadataSources assertions gain the new field. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A server declares `_meta.ui.domain` to ask for a dedicated origin. The Workbench now says whether that value matches the origin MCPJam actually serves the view from, and what it costs when it does not: an allowlist keyed on it — an API-key restriction, an OAuth redirect URI — will not match requests from here. Informational, not a violation. Each host's domain format differs (Claude derives a sha256 label, ChatGPT a per-plugin one) and a server can only declare ONE string, so a mismatch is the normal state for anything already shipping to a production host. Only a value that is not a bare hostname gets a warning tone. Rendered as its own card rather than a `Diagnosis`: that type means "the browser refused a request", and the blocked-request meter, the Policy Diff observed column and the copy-a-CSP-patch button would all misdescribe a declaration mismatch. It sits ABOVE the empty-state early return, because a widget can declare a mismatched domain and trip no CSP violation at all — the developer who most needs this sees no findings. The store guard widens to fire on a declared domain alone, so a permissive widget still opens the panel. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude mounts a view by writing its HTML into a blank document, and a written document with no doctype is parsed in QUIRKS mode — a different box model and different percentage-height behaviour than the author tested against. A host that mounts via `srcdoc` is never in quirks mode, so the same markup renders correctly there and wrong in Claude. That is precisely the class of defect a static lint should catch before submission, since it reproduces nowhere the author is likely to look. The scanner already skipped doctypes; it now records whether it saw one, and only when it precedes every element — a doctype written after the document has started is ignored by the parser, so counting it would promise a rendering mode the browser will not deliver. The suite's own "careful widget" fixture had no doctype and the new lint flagged it, which is the lint working: a careful widget declares one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Views share one sandbox origin, so every app on a deploy shares cookies and storage with every other, and no app has an origin stable enough to name in an OAuth redirect URI or a third-party API-key allowlist. Claude and ChatGPT both solve this by giving each connector its own origin; this derives the same thing for MCPJam. Inert until `VITE_MCPJAM_VIEW_SUBDOMAINS=true`. The flag is off because it is an infrastructure commitment rather than a code one: without wildcard DNS and a certificate for the sandbox apex a labelled host does not resolve, and every widget would fail to load rather than degrade. - `view-origin-label.ts` derives `sha256(canonical key)[:16]`. Query and fragment are stripped from a URL — a deliberate divergence from Claude's hash-as-entered, because a hosted server URL can carry a resolved token and keying an origin on a secret would rotate the origin whenever the secret did, silently invalidating a developer's allowlist. The digest is pinned against an independently computed shasum, not against whatever the code produced. - routes report the label; MCPJam's own platform widgets get a fixed one so they are not the thing still rendering on the bare origin. - `resolveSandboxProxyUrl` accepts only a label matching the derived shape: it arrives through a server response, and anything else could name a host we do not control. It also stopped being a one-shot initializer — the label arrives with the widget-content response, after mount — and the iframe is keyed on the resolved origin so a change re-navigates rather than reusing the first origin's proxy. - local dev labels `*.localhost` on Chromium and Firefox only; Safari does not resolve it, and a view that fails to load is worse than one sharing an origin. - the partition admits `<label>.<sandbox host>` for the proxy path and nothing else — not /health: a name derived from a server id has no business describing this service's infrastructure. Also fixes a test #4665 broke and I missed by not running the full client suite: the `@/lib/config` mock in use-widget-host.test.tsx throws on an export it does not declare, and VIEW_MOUNT_MODE was added without it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A dedicated page for the question a customer actually asked — which origin do I allowlist — covering both local hostnames (the sandbox uses whichever of localhost/127.0.0.1 you did NOT open the Inspector with, so both need allowlisting), where to read the exact value in the Workbench, that a cross-origin request carries the origin and not the path, and that CSP is a second gate the allowlist does not satisfy. Also documents what _meta.ui.domain does here (compared, never routed on) and the quirks-mode consequence of a missing doctype. The paragraph in the ChatGPT guide named only localhost, which is the one hostname the view is NOT on when you open the Inspector there. HOSTED_DEPLOYMENT gains the operator half: the wildcard DNS and certificate per-server origins require, that a one-level apex wildcard does not cover them, and that there is deliberately no fallback — a silently shared origin is the thing the feature removes.

WalkthroughThe change adds per-server MCP App view origins. The server derives stable labels, returns origin metadata, and renders sandbox proxy HTML with origin allowlists. The sandbox pins accepted host origins for message exchange. The client propagates labels, updates iframe origins, and displays declared-domain diagnostics. Deployment configuration and documentation cover labelled subdomains and allowlisting. Claude readiness checks now detect missing leading doctypes. Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Per-server origin isolation can fail for colliding STDIO configurations and cached or modal views, allowing different servers to share browser storage. These security-sensitive paths should be corrected before merge. Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.

Render originCard when diagnoses exist.
When diagnoses.length > 0, this branch is skipped and the normal return path does not render originCard. A declared-domain mismatch is then hidden whenever the widget also has a CSP diagnosis.
Add {originCard} to the non-empty layout before the blocked-request section.

Separate DNS and certificate failure modes.
If wildcard DNS is missing, the labelled hostname cannot resolve. If DNS exists but the wildcard certificate is missing or does not cover the hostname, resolution succeeds and HTTPS fails during TLS validation. State both outcomes so operators know whether to inspect DNS or certificate configuration.

🌐 Web query:
WHATWG HTML Standard doctype token before html insertion mode non-whitespace before doctype quirks mode invalid doctype name
💡 Result:
In the WHATWG HTML Standard, the process of parsing a DOCTYPE token and its influence on the document's rendering mode (quirks mode) is governed by the tree construction stage's "initial" insertion mode [1][2]. Key aspects of these rules include: 1. Insertion Mode and DOCTYPE: Initially, the parser is in the "initial" insertion mode [1]. When a DOCTYPE token is encountered, the parser checks its validity [1]. If the token correctly matches the expected HTML5 DOCTYPE format, the document is typically set to no-quirks mode [3][4]. If the DOCTYPE is missing, or if it is malformed, the document is switched to quirks mode [3][4][5]. 2. Non-whitespace before DOCTYPE: If any non-whitespace character, comment, or other token is processed before a valid DOCTYPE token is reached in the "initial" insertion mode, the parser will treat the document as being in quirks mode [3][5]. This is why the DOCTYPE must be the absolute first item in the document, following only optional byte order marks (BOM) [6][5]. 3. Invalid DOCTYPE name: The "invalid doctype name" condition refers to the verification of the name field within a DOCTYPE token [1][7]. The standard defines specific requirements for what constitutes a valid DOCTYPE name [6]. If a DOCTYPE token is present but contains an invalid name or incorrect legacy components (such as specific public or system identifiers associated with older HTML/XHTML versions), it may trigger quirks mode or limited-quirks mode rather than the modern no-quirks (standards) mode [3][4][5]. In summary, the parser's "initial" insertion mode acts as a gatekeeper [1][2]. It strictly requires that a properly formed HTML5 DOCTYPE be the first significant token to ensure the document is rendered in no-quirks mode [6][3][5]. Any deviation—such as preceding content, missing tokens, or invalid/legacy DOCTYPE strings—triggers a fallback to quirks mode [3][5].

Recognize only an effective HTML doctype.
tags.size === 0 does not prove that the document has not started. Leading text before <!DOCTYPE html> causes the later doctype to be ignored, but scanHtml sets hasDoctype to true. isDoctypeAt also accepts non-HTML and malformed declarations, such as <!DOCTYPE svg> and <!DOCTYPE>. Validate the declaration and track non-whitespace content before it. Add regression cases for these inputs.

Pass the server view-origin label to the modal iframe.
When subdomains are enabled, retain viewOriginLabel from fetchWidgetContent() and pass it to SandboxedIframe. Without the label, modal views use the shared sandbox origin and can share storage across servers. Add a regression test for this path.

Keep viewOriginLabel with cached and modal views.
When a renderer changes from live server A to cached server B, the source-reset path does not clear viewOriginLabel, and loadFromCachedUrl does not restore it. Cached server B content can therefore use server A’s labelled origin. The modal fetch also drops the label and mounts on the shared origin.
Persist the label with cached metadata, clear it when the source changes, restore it in loadFromCachedUrl, and forward it from McpAppsModal to SandboxedIframe.

… that proved nothing CI first: `Inspector Tests 4/4` was red, and it was not this PR's. #4671 added `VIEW_MOUNT_MODE` to `use-widget-host.tsx` and to that test's `@/lib/config` mock in the same commit; this branch carried the old test file, so the merge CI builds had the new hook and the old mock. Main is green. Merging main in is the fix, and it is done. TWO OF MY OWN TESTS PROVED NOTHING, which is the same mistake round 3 of the last PR caught and I repeated: - The listener-leak test asserted on `debugger.listenerCount("message")`. That counts the ONE listener `DebuggerCdpAdapter` installs in its constructor; the leak it was written for lives in the adapter's private handler map, which never touches the emitter. It passed with the regression reintroduced. The adapter now exposes `handlerCount()` and the test asserts on that — reverting the fix now fails it. - `expect(indexOf(x)).toBeLessThan(length)` cannot fail: `indexOf` answers -1 when absent, and -1 is less than any length. Deleted; the `toContain` above it was already the real assertion. A REDIRECT COULD HANG SETTLE FOREVER. `Network.requestWillBeSent` fires once per redirect hop under the SAME `requestId`, with one terminal event at the end. Counting starts meant the counter went up three times and down once and never returned to zero, so the page never settled again for the rest of its life. Tracked by `requestId` in a Set now. AND THE URL FALLBACK STILL FAILED OPEN. `if (currentUrl === before)` cannot tell "no navigation event fired" from "the event committed to the address we were already on" — and a redirect landing back on the current page is exactly the second case, where it then wrote the REQUESTED address over the committed one. `url()` feeds the unattended origin allowlist, so that is the same security control reading the wrong value that this round was supposed to fix. A flag set by the navigation handlers, not a comparison of values. Also: - `session()` before every navigation, not inside the settle that follows it. Enabling `Network` in session setup was only half the fix: the session is created lazily, so `goto()` still started requests before the monitor existed. - `did-fail-provisional-load` is how a load cancelled by `wc.stop()` reports — not `did-fail-load` — so the deadline added last round left `navigationSettled`'s listeners attached to a promise nobody awaits. - CDP reports `checked` and its tristate siblings as STRINGS where `ariaSnapshot` gives booleans. A consumer written against one engine would read `checked: "false"` as truthy and call an empty box ticked. Normalised, with "mixed" left a string because it is not a boolean. - Numpad keys carry `isKeypad`: `code` alone does not reach `KeyboardEvent.location`. And they skip the shifted-character remap, which would have turned Shift+NumpadAdd into "=" — a character that key cannot produce on any keyboard. - The bundle guard now matches the side-effect `import "electron"` form, which has neither parentheses nor a `from`, with every branch behind the same non-word guard. - The `window-all-closed` comment in `main.ts` said the opposite of the truth: that call is what UNBLOCKS the event, not a tidy-up the event would do anyway. A reader trusting it would have deleted it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UUDScVQH5YFFDkG4nZYuRY

Why
Finishes the view-origins plan after #4661 (real-URL views) and #4665 (the origin chip). Six commits, each a self-contained step — reviewable commit by commit.
One PR rather than a stack: stacked PRs here get vacuous CI (a base other than
mainnever schedules the test workflows), and steps 1B and 3A touch the same partition and route files.Not included: 3B. Turning per-server origins on needs wildcard DNS, a wildcard certificate, and an access-proxy bypass — dashboard work I can't do. 3A ships inert behind a flag;
HOSTED_DEPLOYMENT.mddocuments exactly what the deploy needs first.The commits
25e77e3— pin the host origin, serve the proxy from one place. The proxy loads untrusted HTML on request and relays that widget's messages back out, but accepted asandbox-resource-readyfrom any parent that could frame it, and answeredpostMessage(..., "*"). It now rejects origins off a templated allowlist, locks the first accepted one, and relays to that address.'self'stays inframe-ancestors(the same-origin fallback deploy is documented) but is deliberately not a sender: it would admitlocation.origin, and once views get per-app subdomains the widget is same-origin with its proxy and could pose as the host. An unreplaced placeholder means "no list" and keeps the old permissive behaviour, so the route test asserting the placeholder is replaced is load-bearing — it says so in a comment. Also replaces two duplicatedSANDBOX_PROXY_HTML_WITH_RECORDERconstants and the local route's hardcoded directive with one helper, and rewritessandbox-proxy.test.ts, which re-declared a look-alike route inline and therefore asserted the shape of its own fixture.5578d3d— resolve_meta.ui.domain. Joins the existing per-field precedence chain (content over listing, no legacy equivalent). Deliberately not added tocanSkipListingLookup: an advisory field should not make every render of a resource that declares the other three pay aresources/listround-trip. The narrow cost is commented and pinned. First test file for that module. The platform-widget route drops a hand-rolled cast for the shared resolver.b13a190— surface it. A card in Findings saying whether the declaration matches the origin we serve, and what it costs when it doesn't. Not aDiagnosis: that type means "the browser refused a request", and the blocked-request meter, Policy Diff's observed column and the copy-a-CSP-patch button would all misdescribe a declaration mismatch. It renders above the empty-state early return, because a widget can declare a mismatched domain and trip no violation at all — the developer who most needs this sees no findings.16df2e3— doctype readiness lint. Claude writes the view into a blank document, so doctype-less HTML renders in quirks mode; asrcdochost never does, so it reproduces nowhere the author looks. The lint immediately flagged the suite's own "careful widget" fixture, which is the lint working.1667b62— per-server origins, flag-gated.sha256(canonical key)[:16]. Query and fragment are stripped from a URL — a deliberate divergence from Claude's hash-as-entered, because a hosted server URL can carry a resolved token, and keying an origin on a secret rotates the origin whenever the secret does, silently invalidating a developer's allowlist.resolveSandboxProxyUrlaccepts only a label matching the derived shape (it arrives through a server response) and stopped being a one-shot initializer — the label arrives after mount, so a one-shot value would have left every view on the shared origin forever; the iframe is keyed on the resolved origin so a change re-navigates. Local dev labels*.localhoston Chromium/Firefox only; Safari won't resolve it, and a view that fails to load is worse than one sharing an origin. The partition admits<label>.<sandbox host>for the proxy path and not/health.dcccec1— docs. AView originspage, plus the operator half inHOSTED_DEPLOYMENT.md.Two things to know
I broke a test in #4665 and didn't catch it.
use-widget-host.test.tsxmocks@/lib/config, and vitest throws on an export the mock doesn't declare —VIEW_MOUNT_MODEwas added without it, so that suite has been red onmainsince #4665 merged. Fixed here in1667b62, with a comment on the mock. Cause: I ran the suites I expected to be affected rather than the full client suite. I ran the full suites this time.Pre-existing failures I did not touch, all outside this diff:
server/utils/harness/local/runtime-install(macOS BSDtarlacks GNU--sort),scenario-chat-transcript(storage-quota stub),permalink-routes("no app route foreval_iteration" — likely the worktree resolving@mcpjam/sdkto the main checkout's build). CI will say definitively.Verification
Full suites: server 10214 passed (1 env failure above), client 12003 passed (3 above), sdk 7034 passed, widget-react 25 passed.
typecheck:clientandbuild:serverclean. Prettier: only my own lines are formatted — verified by intersecting prettier's hunks with the diff's line ranges, since these files carry a lot of pre-existing v3 drift.Not re-run here: the browser e2e in #4667, which is still open.

Changes sandbox
postMessagetrust boundaries and optional per-host DNS routing; misconfiguration could break widget loading, though defaults stay backward-compatible and subdomains are opt-in.Overview
MCP App views get clearer origin guidance and tighter sandbox messaging: the proxy now pins the host origin (templated allowlist, first accepted origin locked,
postMessagetargets that origin instead of"*"), withframe-ancestorsand the allowlist kept in sync via a sharedsandbox-proxy-htmlhelper.Widget metadata and debugging:
_meta.ui.domainis resolved like other SEP-1865 UI fields and returned asdeclaredDomain(plus a derivedviewOriginLabel). The CSP Workbench Findings tab adds an Declared view domain card that compares the declaration to the origin MCPJam actually serves—even when there are no CSP violations.Optional per-server origins (
VITE_MCPJAM_VIEW_SUBDOMAINS): stable<label>.sandbox…hosts for isolation and allowlists, with partition routing for labelled sandbox hosts (proxy only, no/health), client URL resolution that waits for the label after fetch, and Safari-friendly local degradation.Docs and readiness: new View origins inspector page, hosted deploy notes, guide tweaks for localhost vs
127.0.0.1, and a Claude readiness doctype lint for document-write quirks mode.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 598092e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
Summary by cubic
Secures the sandbox proxy and gives each MCP app a stable, per-server origin so third-party allowlists (OAuth redirect URIs, API-key restrictions) can name where a view runs. The proxy previously accepted
sandbox-resource-readyfrom any parent and relayed to*; it now rejects origins off a templated allowlist, locks the first accepted one, and relays only to it. An unreplaced placeholder keeps the old accept-anything behavior, so the route test asserting the placeholder is replaced is load-bearing.The server now resolves
_meta.ui.domain(content-over-listing precedence) and the Workbench's Findings tab shows whether the declaration matches the origin actually served. It's informational rather than aDiagnosisand renders above the empty-state, so a widget with no CSP violations still surfaces a mismatched domain. A new Claude-readiness lint flags HTML without a doctype, which renders in quirks mode when Claude writes the view into a blank document.Per-server view origins derive
sha256(canonical server key)[:16]and serve from<label>.<sandbox host>, off by default behindVITE_MCPJAM_VIEW_SUBDOMAINS. Query and fragment are stripped from the hashed URL so a resolved token doesn't rotate the origin. The label arrives after mount, so the sandbox iframe is keyed on the resolved origin and re-navigates when it changes. Local dev labels*.localhoston Chromium and Firefox only — Safari doesn't resolve it, and a failing view is worse than a shared origin. The partition admits only the proxy path on labelled hosts, not/health.Also fixes a red suite on
main: the@/lib/configmock inuse-widget-host.test.tsxthrew on the undeclaredVIEW_MOUNT_MODEexport.Migration
VITE_MCPJAM_VIEW_SUBDOMAINS=truerequires wildcard DNS for*.sandbox.example.com, a certificate covering that wildcard (a one-level apex wildcard does not), and an access-proxy bypass for the labelled hosts. The feature ships inert until a deploy provides these.Written for commit 598092e. Summary will update on new commits.
