Summary

Extends the Bifrost Helm chart with several new configuration capabilities: a bootstrap setupToken for first-admin creation, inline OAuth provider config (oauthConfig) and delegated token-exchange auth (tokenExchange) for MCP clients, HTTP/2 keepalive ping support for provider network configs, a pluginDownloadPrivateAllowlist for SSRF-safe custom plugin downloads, needsSessionStickiness for HTTP MCP connections, and quarterly budget reset support with a configurable fiscal quarter start month.

Changes

  • setupToken: Adds a top-level bifrost.setupToken field that renders into config.json as setup_token. Used to bootstrap the first admin account; never persisted or logged. Supports env.<VAR> and vault.<path> indirection.

  • Inline OAuth config (oauthConfig): Replaces the previous oauth_config_id passthrough (which was Bifrost-managed and ignored at config load time anyway) with a proper oauthConfig block supporting clientId, clientSecret, authorizeUrl, tokenUrl, registrationUrl, and scopes. Omitted URLs are resolved via RFC 8414 discovery; a missing clientId triggers RFC 7591 dynamic client registration at admin-verification time.

  • Token-exchange auth (tokenExchange): Adds a new authType: token_exchange (Enterprise only) and a corresponding tokenExchange config block. Each caller's IdP token is exchanged at runtime for a short-lived token scoped to the configured audience. Supports useIdpCredentials, clientId/clientSecret, authorizationServerUrl, and scopes.

  • needsSessionStickiness: New boolean field for HTTP MCP clients. When true, a single persistent connection is reused across all callers; when false (default), a fresh connection is made per call. SSE and STDIO always behave as sticky regardless.

  • http2_ping_interval_in_seconds: Adds support for client-initiated HTTP/2 keepalive PINGs on provider network configs. Only active when enforce_http2 is enabled. Max value 3600; 0 disables.

  • pluginDownloadPrivateAllowlist: New server-level list of hostnames, IPs, or CIDR ranges that custom plugin (.so) downloads are permitted to reach even when they resolve to private/loopback/link-local/CGNAT addresses (blocked by default to prevent SSRF). Read at startup only.

  • Quarterly budget resets: Updates budget reset_duration docs to include 1Q and adds a reset_config.quarter_start_month field (1–12) to define the fiscal year start for quarterly budget alignment.

  • The oauthConfigId schema field is retained but clarified as Bifrost-managed and deprecated in favor of oauthConfig.

How to test

Validate Helm rendering with the new fields:

# Render the chart with a test values file that exercises the new fields
helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost -f test-values.yaml

# Confirm setup_token appears in the rendered config.json
helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost --set bifrost.setupToken="env.BIFROST_SETUP_TOKEN" \
  | grep setup_token

# Confirm oauthConfig renders correctly for an MCP client
helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost -f test-values.yaml \
  | grep -A 10 oauth_config

# Confirm token_exchange renders correctly
helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost -f test-values.yaml \
  | grep -A 10 token_exchange

# Confirm plugin_download_private_allowlist renders
helm template bifrost ./helm-charts/bifrost \
  --set 'bifrost.server.pluginDownloadPrivateAllowlist[0]=10.0.0.0/8' \
  | grep plugin_download_private_allowlist

# Validate schema
helm lint ./helm-charts/bifrost -f test-values.yaml

New configuration fields:

Field Config key Notes
bifrost.setupToken setup_token Also read from BIFROST_SETUP_TOKEN env var
bifrost.server.pluginDownloadPrivateAllowlist server.plugin_download_private_allowlist Deploy-time only
bifrost.mcpGateway.clients[].oauthConfig oauth_config Replaces oauth_config_id for inline setup
bifrost.mcpGateway.clients[].tokenExchange token_exchange Enterprise only
bifrost.mcpGateway.clients[].needsSessionStickiness needs_session_stickiness HTTP clients only
network_config.http2_ping_interval_in_seconds same Requires enforce_http2: true

Breaking changes

  • Yes
  • No

The oauthConfigId / oauth_config_id field on MCP clients is no longer rendered into config.json (it was already ignored by Bifrost at config load time, but callers relying on it being present in the rendered output should migrate to oauthConfig).

Security considerations

  • setupToken is explicitly never persisted or logged; it is also readable from an environment variable to avoid embedding secrets in values files.
  • pluginDownloadPrivateAllowlist is a deploy-time-only safeguard against SSRF via custom plugin downloads; it cannot be modified at runtime through the plugin admin API.
  • tokenExchange clientId/clientSecret fields support env./vault. indirection to avoid embedding credentials directly in Helm values.
  • oauthConfig clientId/clientSecret likewise support env./vault. indirection.

Checklist

  • I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
  • I added/updated tests where appropriate
  • I updated documentation where needed
  • I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
  • I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bootstrap, network, provider, and budget settings
helm-charts/bifrost/values.schema.json, helm-charts/bifrost/templates/_helpers.tpl, helm-charts/bifrost/values.yaml

MCP authentication and session configuration
helm-charts/bifrost/values.schema.json, helm-charts/bifrost/templates/_helpers.tpl, helm-charts/bifrost/values.yaml, .github/workflows/scripts/schemasync/main.go
MCP configuration supports inline OAuth, token exchange, and session stickiness. Legacy oauth_config_id rendering is removed. Schema synchronization excludes server-managed and derived OAuth fields. Examples use the new settings.
Chart release metadata and documentation
helm-charts/bifrost/Chart.yaml, docs/changelogs/helm-v2.1.35.mdx, docs/docs.json, helm-charts/bifrost/README.md
The chart version changes to 2.1.35. The changelog, documentation navigation, and README describe the new configuration options.

Enforce the documented clientId requirement for tokenExchange.

The clientId description states it is required unless useIdpCredentials is true. The schema does not enforce that. A config that omits both renders a token_exchange block with an audience and no exchange identity, and the failure appears only at request time. The object already uses required for audience, so add a conditional for clientId.
