🟠 Major · Close the live MCP connection after rotating the OAuth client.
transports/bifrost-http/handlers/mcp.go:267-281
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winClose the live MCP connection after rotating the OAuth client. The reachable
reregisterMCPClientroute callsReregisterDynamicClient, which invalidates bound credentials, butstartMCPClientReauthorizationdoes not callCloseAndMarkNeedsReauth. A persistent shared client can keep its live connection and oldAuthorizationheader, so subsequent requests can use invalid credentials. Token-cache eviction does not close that connection. Callh.mcpManager.CloseAndMarkNeedsReauth(ctx, clientConfig.ID)after successful rotation, and treatschemas.ErrMCPReconnectNotApplicableas expected for per-call clients.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Line 1559: Update the client replacement flow around ReregisterDynamicClient
so registerDynamicClient uses the current computed redirect URI, matching the
URI passed by reauthorizeMCPClient; alternatively register both the current and
original URIs when required, while preserving existing scope and client
registration behavior.
- Around line 1574-1576: Update ReregisterDynamicClient after the successful
RotateMCPOAuthConfig call to invoke
h.mcpCredentialCacheManager.EvictOauthTokenCacheByMCPClient with ctx and
clientConfig.ID before starting the OAuth flow, ensuring cached tokens are
evicted while preserving the existing error handling.
In `@transports/bifrost-http/handlers/mcp.go`:
- Around line 267-298: Update the handler flow after ReregisterDynamicClient to
return a structured partial-success response containing previous_client_id and
registered_client_id when InitiateUserOAuthFlow or
BuildAdminUpstreamAuthorizeURL fails, explicitly stating that credential
rotation completed but reauthorization setup remains incomplete. Preserve the
existing success response and error handling for failures before rotation.

Summary
Fixes a recovery dead-end (issue #7191) where an MCP client using dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) becomes permanently broken after the upstream authorization server restarts and forgets its client registry. Once the stored
client_idis rejected, redoing consent via the existing reauthorize flow cannot recover the connection because the authorize request and code exchange both fail withinvalid_client. A newReregisterDynamicClientmethod and a dedicated/api/mcp/client/{id}/reregisterendpoint register a replacement client first, then run consent against it.Changes
Extracted a shared
registerDynamicClienthelper indiscovery.gothat bothInitiateOAuthFlow(bootstrap) andReregisterDynamicClient(replacement) call with identical client metadata, ensuring redirect URIs and grant types are consistent across registrations. Credentials are stored as literalSecretVarvalues rather than going throughNewSecretVar, preventing anenv./vault.-prefixedclient_idfrom being misinterpreted as a secret reference.Added
ReregisterDynamicClientonOAuth2Provider: loads the stored oauth config, calls the registration endpoint, and persists the new credentials viaRotateMCPOAuthConfig, which cascades every token bound to that config toneeds_reauthin the same operation. This cascade is intentional — tokens issued under the previousclient_idcannot be refreshed once it is replaced, including end-user tokens onper_user_oauthservers.Added
POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/reregisteralongside the existingreauthorizeroute. Both share astartMCPClientReauthorizationbody; the new route passesreregisterClient=trueto trigger registration before the flow is initiated, so the authorize URL returned to the admin already carries the newly registeredclient_id. The response includesregistered_client_idandprevious_client_idfields when a registration occurred.Kept re-registration as an explicit operator action rather than an automatic fallback on
invalid_client. Authorization servers do not report RFC 6749 error codes consistently enough to safely trigger credential replacement, and silently discarding a manually configuredclient_idwould be worse than leaving it in place.Added
dynamic_client_reregistration_test.gowith a SQLite-backed config store double and an evictable in-memory authorization server that simulates a registry wipe. Tests cover: recovery after eviction, plain reauthorize not touching the registration, cascade to all bound tokens, error when no registration URL is configured, and error on an unknown config ID.Type of change
Affected areas
How to test
To exercise the endpoint manually:
client_id.needs_reauthwithinvalid_clientin the reason.POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/reauthorize— the returned authorize URL carries the old, rejectedclient_id(expected dead end).POST /api/mcp/client/{id}/reregister— the response includesregistered_client_idandprevious_client_id; the authorize URL now carries aclient_idthe provider recognises.Breaking changes
Related issues
Closes #7191
Security considerations
client_idandclient_secretvalues are stored as literal strings, not resolved through the secret-reference mechanism, preventing accidental resolution of provider-issued credentials that happen to carry anenv.orvault.prefix.RotateMCPOAuthConfigcascades all bound tokens toneeds_reauthatomically, ensuring no token issued under the replaced client can be silently used after the swap.Checklist
