What and why

Stacks on #1119.

A SkilledOpenApiCredentialResolver can be declared in three places: SkilledOpenApiPlugin.init({ providers }), the @App({ providers }) that installs the plugin, and @FrontMcp({ providers }). The nearest one wins. run_workflow honored all three.

When the plugin was installed in an @App that declared the resolver, two paths still got the built-in resolver, which reads credentials, or the server's resolver:

  • execute_action, which runs an action through its operation tool;
  • server code that calls an operation tool with this.callTool('<bundleId>.<operationId>').

The cause: the plugin built its operation tools on the scope's providers, which don't include the app's. The plugin's own tools, such as run_workflow, are built on the plugin's providers, which resolve through the plugin, then the app, then the server.

The fix:

  • SDK: a provider factory can now inject ProviderRegistry. It gets the registry that builds it. For a GLOBAL provider, that's the registry that declares it, so a plugin's provider gets the plugin's own providers. This is two one-line checks in ProviderRegistry: one for GLOBAL factories, one for CONTEXT factories built from views. Before this change, injecting ProviderRegistry built a new, empty registry.
  • Plugin: the bundle-sync provider injects the plugin's providers and builds the operation tools on them. This also removes a cast of scope.providers to ProviderRegistry. The operation tools now resolve their providers exactly as run_workflow does, at all three levels, including on a splitByApp server.

Scenarios covered: F3 (a custom resolver, such as a vault) and E6 (execute_action through the operation tool).

User-facing change

  • What changed:
    • With the plugin installed in an @App, execute_action and this.callTool('<bundleId>.<operationId>') now use the resolver that app declares, as run_workflow does.
    • A provider factory can inject ProviderRegistry to get the providers it is built in.
  • Before → after:
    • An @App({ providers }) resolver reached run_workflow only. The operation tools got the server's resolver or the built-in one, which reads credentials. → All three paths use the nearest resolver: init({ providers }), then the app's, then the server's, then the built-in one.
    • inject: () => [ProviderRegistry] gave a new, empty registry. → It gives the registry that builds the provider. For a plugin's GLOBAL provider, that's the plugin's own providers.
  • frontmcp.dev pages affected (if known): the Skilled OpenAPI plugin page (credentials section), and the plugin authoring and providers pages (factory inject).
  • Skills catalog entries updated:
    • frontmcp-development/references/create-plugin.md: injecting ProviderRegistry, and building a runtime tool on the plugin's providers.
    • frontmcp-development/references/openapi-adapter.md: where the resolver can be declared, and that it answers all three paths.
  • The plugin README no longer documents the limit.

Tests

Added:

  • plugin-registration.integration.spec.ts, in a real server, checking the authorization header that run_workflow, execute_action and a server tool's this.callTool() each send:
    • the plugin in an @App that declares the resolver: all three use it (this failed before the fix);
    • the same on a splitByApp server (this failed before the fix);
    • the app's resolver over the server's, when another app's tool calls the operation (this failed before the fix);
    • init({ providers }) over the app's;
    • init({ providers }) and @FrontMcp({ providers }) on a server-level plugin, and the built-in resolver when none is declared, now on all three paths.
  • plugin.spec.ts: the operation tools are built on the providers the bundle-sync factory gets.
  • provider.registry.spec.ts: a GLOBAL factory that injects ProviderRegistry gets the registry that declares it, which resolves through its parent; a CONTEXT factory gets the registry that builds it.
  • E2E app-resolver.e2e.spec.ts, with a new entrypoint that installs the plugin and its resolver in an @App, and nothing on the server: run_workflow and execute_action both send the token the resolver reads (this failed before the fix).

Run, after merging #1119:

  • nx test plugin-skilled-openapi: 50 suites, 723 tests passed.
  • nx test sdk: 691 suites, 9643 tests passed.
  • nx test skills: 3 suites, 249 tests passed.
  • nx test demo-e2e-skilled-openapi: 9 suites, 83 tests passed.
  • The browser bundle-size e2e: 12 suites, 63 tests passed. The budgets are set to the measured sizes:
    • create() + one tool grows by 44 bytes, to 1,289,009;
    • create() + WebMcpPlugin + one tool grows by 44 bytes, to 1,296,199;
    • the initial chunk of a Vite app doesn't change (763,249).
  • nx run-many -t typecheck for sdk, plugin-skilled-openapi, demo-e2e-skilled-openapi and demo-e2e-bundle-size passed.
  • tsc --noEmit on the SDK's and the plugin's tsconfig.lib.json, prettier and eslint (0 errors) passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Credential resolver settings now apply consistently to workflows, actions, and operation tools, following provider precedence across plugin, app, and server configuration.
    • Provider factories receive the registry associated with their provider, allowing runtime-created tools to resolve providers through the plugin, installing app, and server.
  • Documentation
    • Updated plugin and OpenAPI guidance to explain provider and credential resolver behavior.

…es execute_action and this.callTool() of an operation

With the plugin installed in an @app that declares SkilledOpenApiCredentialResolver, run_workflow used the app's
resolver, but execute_action and server code calling an operation tool with this.callTool('<bundleId>.<operationId>')
got the server's resolver, or the built-in one that reads credentials. The operation tools were built on the scope's
providers, which don't include the app's.

A provider factory can now inject ProviderRegistry: it gets the registry that builds it, which for a GLOBAL provider
is the one that declares it. Injecting it used to build a new, empty registry. The plugin's bundle-sync provider
injects the plugin's own providers and builds the operation tools on them, so they resolve the resolver as
run_workflow does: init({ providers }), then the app's, then the server's, then the built-in one.

The e2e app gains an entrypoint with the plugin and its resolver in an @app. The browser bundle budgets take the 44
bytes of the two checks.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: an @App's Skilled OpenAPI credential resolver now reaches execute_action and this.callTool() for an operation. The changeset does this. It adds ProviderRegistry injection in the SDK and passes the plugin's providers to the operation tool factory, with tests for all three call paths. The title is specific and fits the scope, and the fix(sdk,plugins) prefix matches the touched packages. It is a little long at 122 characters, but it is still clear.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the 'What and why' section, which explains the three resolver declaration points, the cause, and the fix. It has the 'User-facing change' section with what changed, before and after, affected frontmcp.dev pages, and updated skills catalog entries. It has the 'Tests' section, which lists the new tests and the commands run with their results. The template's HTML comments were replaced with real content, and the description is specific enough to review.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 10 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

registry injection path with a cross-copy-stable injection token, and ensure
registry injection resolves to the existing registry rather than the
zero-argument fallback. Add coverage for an ESM server using a CommonJS plugin
