[SK-2195] feat(mcp): mint session tokens for a connection's MCP server by ravibits · Pull Request #221 · scalekit-inc/scalekit-sdk-python

ravibits · 2026-10-09T15:50:09Z

Description

Every AgentKit connection has its own MCP server at <environment URL>/mcp/v3/connections/<connection name>. It serves all of that connection's tools without an MCP configuration. create_session_token can now mint a token for that server: pass the new keyword-only connection_name instead of mcp_config_id.

# client.actions.mcp: returns CreateMcpSessionTokenResponse
@overload
def create_session_token(self, mcp_config_id: str, identifier: str,
                         expiry: timedelta | None = None, access_level: str | None = None): ...
@overload
def create_session_token(self, *, connection_name: str, identifier: str,
                         expiry: timedelta | None = None, access_level: str | None = None): ...

# client.mcp: same arguments, returns the raw (response, call) tuple like the rest of that client

Behaviour:

Connection token: connection_name is sent as the request's key_id, and mcp_config_id is never set. expiry and access_level are sent only when given, so the server defaults apply: 1 hour, full access.
Access level: access_level="READ_ONLY" limits the token to tools marked read-only. Other tools are left out of tools/list, and calling one returns unknown tool "<name>".
Connection name: matched without regard to case, but the token is issued for the URL built from the stored name. That URL path is case-sensitive, so connect with the name exactly as stored.
Validation, connection calls only: passing both mcp_config_id and connection_name, an empty connection_name, or a missing or empty identifier raises ValueError before any request.
Config calls: existing calls with mcp_config_id, positional or keyword, behave exactly as in v2.20.0. They send the same request, and client.actions.mcp raises the same ValueError messages.
Errors from the server:
- ScalekitNotFoundException: no active connection with that name.
- ScalekitBadRequestException: invalid input, a connection that isn't an AgentKit connection, or, depending on the environment's configuration, no active connected account for the identifier.

Usage

from datetime import timedelta

resp = client.actions.mcp.create_session_token(
    connection_name="gmail",
    identifier="user_123",
    expiry=timedelta(minutes=15),
    access_level="READ_ONLY",
)
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {resp.token}"}
# connect to <environment URL>/mcp/v3/connections/gmail with these headers

Testing

make lint: passes.
tests/test_mcp_connection_session_token.py: 34 credential-free tests with mocked transport, all passing. They cover:
- both call forms on both clients;
- the request fields that are set;
- expiry and access_level forwarding;
- connection_name being keyword-only;
- invalid connection arguments;
- v2.20.0 behaviour of config calls, including pass-through on client.mcp and the exact error messages on client.actions.mcp;
- server errors propagating.
Type checking: mypy accepts every existing call form and rejects passing both targets, or a connection without an identifier.
tests/test_mcp_session_token_access_level.py and the offline suites pass.
Live integration tests were not run locally; CI's live suite runs them. tests/test_mcp.py mints READ_ONLY for a connection, expects ScalekitNotFoundException for an unknown one, and covers the positional config form.

Release

No release (skip-release). The notes wait in .changes/unreleased:

client.actions.mcp.create_session_token(connection_name=..., identifier=...) mints a session token for a connection's own MCP server (<environment URL>/mcp/v3/connections/<connection name>), which serves all of that connection's tools without an MCP configuration. Pass exactly one of mcp_config_id or the new keyword-only connection_name; expiry and access_level work for both, and access_level="READ_ONLY" limits the token to read-only tools. The URL path is case-sensitive, so connect with the connection's name exactly as stored. Existing calls with mcp_config_id, positional or keyword, are unchanged. client.mcp.create_session_token takes the same arguments and returns the raw (response, call) tuple.

Scope

Builds on [SK-2195] feat(mcp): add access_level to create_session_token #219, which adds access_level and the proto update this change needs. This branch contains [SK-2195] feat(mcp): add access_level to create_session_token #219's commit, so merge [SK-2195] feat(mcp): add access_level to create_session_token #219 first; this PR's diff then reduces to this change.
[SK-2195] feat(mcp): add access_level to create_session_token #219 still needs, before it merges:
- Its own added fragment for access_level.
- Its commit carries a session-link trailer that shouldn't be in this repo's history. Drop it from the squash message, and drop it from this PR's squash message too.
Sibling PR: [SK-2195] feat(mcp): mint session tokens for a connection's MCP server scalekit-sdk-node#241, createSessionToken({ connectionName, ... }).
Compatibility: additive. create_session_token gains a keyword-only argument; config calls are unchanged.
Not done: expires_at stays a naive UTC datetime, as before.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds MCP session-token support for connection targets and access-level options. It also updates generated protobuf types and gRPC bindings across several services, including authentication, client configuration, connected accounts, migrations, organizations, and triggers.

Changes

MCP Session Tokens

Layer / File(s)	Summary
MCP token request contract `scalekit/v1/mcp/mcp_pb2.py`, `scalekit/v1/mcp/mcp_pb2.pyi`	The token request adds `key_id` and `access_level`. Descriptor metadata documents configuration and connection token requests and access-level behavior.
MCP client and Actions methods `scalekit/mcp.py`, `scalekit/actions/actions.py`	The MCP client validates and resolves either target, builds the corresponding request, and returns a response and gRPC call. The Actions method supports configuration and keyword-only connection call forms.
MCP token validation and documentation `tests/test_mcp.py`, `AGENTKIT.md`, `.changes/unreleased/`	Tests cover target routing, access levels, expiry, validation, and error handling. Documentation describes the arguments, constraints, examples, and return values.

Generated API Updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
AuthService request and RPC updates `Makefile`, `scalekit/v1/auth/*`	The default protobuf reference changes. AuthService adds login-request detail messages and an RPC; `GetAuthState` now accepts organization and prompt fields.
Client and connected-account configuration `scalekit/v1/clients/clients_pb2.pyi`, `scalekit/v1/connected_accounts/*`, `scalekit/v1/connections/connections_pb2.pyi`	Client declarations add IP allowlist types and fields. Connected-account and connection declarations add scope-selection fields, and generated bindings add `CreateRedirectUrl`.
Gateway annotations and update mask `scalekit/v1/gateway/*`	Gateway methods receive PREVIEW visibility annotations. `UpdateManualGatewayGroupRequest` adds an update mask, and the descriptor changes its field number.
Connected-account credential repair RPC `scalekit/v1/migrations/*`	The generated migration API adds repair request, failure, and response messages and gRPC bindings for the repair RPC.
Organization branding RPCs `scalekit/v1/organizations/*`	The generated organization API adds branding types and get/update RPC bindings.
Tool API descriptor updates `scalekit/v1/tools/tools_pb2.py`	Descriptor examples change tool names. ExecuteTool metadata documents provider-mismatch rejection before a provider request.
TriggerService generated bindings `scalekit/v1/triggers/*`	Generated trigger type declarations and gRPC bindings cover the service RPCs.

While scopes and fields lined up in scheme.

Fold the connection case into create_session_token on both McpClient and client.actions.mcp: pass exactly one of mcp_config_id or the new keyword-only connection_name (sent as key_id). Existing positional and keyword calls with mcp_config_id are unchanged. Both/neither target, a blank target or a missing identifier raise ValueError before any request. Typing overloads describe the two valid call shapes, and McpClient's return annotation now matches the (response, call) tuple it returns. Remove create_connection_session_token, which was never released. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Use typing.Optional and typing.Tuple instead of PEP 604 unions and built-in generics, and show client.mcp.create_session_token's tuple return type in AGENTKIT.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Limit the new client-side checks to the connection form of create_session_token. With mcp_config_id and no connection_name: - client.mcp builds the request from the arguments as given, as before: an empty, whitespace or None config ID and an empty identifier go to the server. A private sentinel default for mcp_config_id lets an explicit None still reach the server; only a call that passes neither mcp_config_id nor connection_name raises ValueError. - client.actions.mcp keeps its previous checks and messages ("mcp_config_id is required", "identifier is required"). With connection_name: passing mcp_config_id too, an empty connection_name, or a missing or empty identifier raises ValueError before any request; a whitespace name or identifier goes to the server. Annotations in the changed code use X | None and tuple[...] again, since the package already requires Python 3.10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

When the environment does not require an active connected account, the server creates a pending connected account for the identifier before minting a connection session token. Say so in the create_session_token docstrings and AGENTKIT.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The server reuses the identifier's existing connected account on the connection and creates a pending one only when there is none. Say so in the create_session_token docstrings and AGENTKIT.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
