…abric, etc.) Three coupled fixes that together let altimate-code connect to MCP servers gated by short-lived bearer tokens — most prominently Microsoft Fabric Core MCP — without a local proxy or per-hour config edits. Issues addressed: - #791 (dynamic auth for remote MCP servers): static `headers` only. - #792 (external MCP servers not auto-activated at session start): mostly caused by OAuth dynamic-client-registration probes pre-empting valid bearer headers and ending the connect in a non-`connected` status. - A third defect surfaced during this work: the strict `ListToolsResultSchema` from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` rejects the `null` annotation hints that Fabric returns, causing `listTools()` to throw and the connection to be marked failed even after a successful initialize. None of these are altimate-specific — they all reproduce on upstream `opencode`. Changes: 1. `McpRemote.headersCommand: Record<string, string[]>` — header values produced by running an argv command (executed via `execFile`, not a shell, so values aren't subject to shell injection). Resolved on every connect so expiring tokens refresh automatically. Example: "headersCommand": { "Authorization": ["sh", "-c", "printf 'Bearer %s' \"$(az account get-access-token ... -o tsv)\""] } 2. OAuth provider is no longer attached when the user supplies an explicit `Authorization` header (statically or via `headersCommand`) and `oauth` is not specified. Prevents Entra ID's DCR rejection from short-circuiting a bearer-authenticated connection. Behavior is unchanged when `oauth` is explicitly configured. 3. `listTools()` is wrapped to retry with a permissive Zod schema on schema-validation errors. The fast path is unchanged for compliant servers; non-compliant servers (Fabric returns `null` for `annotations.{readOnlyHint,destructiveHint,idempotentHint,openWorldHint}`) no longer fail the connection. 4. `normalizeMcpConfig` was silently dropping `oauth` and (would have dropped) `headersCommand` when reconstructing remote entries. Both are now passed through. This was a pre-existing latent bug that made `oauth: false` configurations no-op at runtime. Tests: - 22 new tests across `test/mcp/mcp-bearer-auth.test.ts` (lenient schema, `headersCommand` resolution + execFile-not-shell semantics, Authorization detection, schema round-trip) and `test/mcp/headers.test.ts` (OAuth auto-disable on static bearer, on `headersCommand`, and explicit-OAuth override). All pass. - Zero regressions vs `origin/main` baseline on existing 185 MCP tests. - Live-verified end-to-end against `https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/mcp/core` using `headersCommand` + `az account get-access-token`: server connected, 29 tools registered, no proxy required.

Estimated code review effort🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~25 minutes The changes introduce new schema fields, dynamic command execution logic, lenient validation fallback paths, and OAuth attachment rules that must be reasoned through separately. The test coverage is comprehensive, reducing risk but adding review volume. The logic is not overly dense, but the interdependencies between config normalization, header resolution, OAuth logic, and transport wiring require careful tracing across multiple files. Poem

Pull request overview
This PR updates the MCP remote-connection path to support bearer-token–protected MCP servers (notably Microsoft Fabric Core MCP) by enabling dynamic per-connect header resolution, avoiding unintended OAuth flows when bearer auth is already provided, and making tools/list parsing tolerant of null annotation hints.
Changes:
- Add
headersCommandto remote MCP config, allowing per-connect header resolution via argv commands (token refresh without manual edits). - Auto-disable OAuth by default when an
Authorizationheader is present (unless OAuth is explicitly configured). - Retry
tools/listusing a lenient schema when the SDK’s strict Zod schema rejects non-compliant responses (e.g.,nullhints).

as any cast is unnecessary — headersCommand is in the inferred type.
MCP.add accepts Config.Mcp, and Config.McpRemote now includes headersCommand?: Record<string, string[]>. In Zod v4, .nonempty() no longer infers the non-empty tuple type [T, ...T[]]; the inferred type is a plain T[] instead. So { Authorization: ["printf", "Bearer dynamic-token"] } is directly assignable to Record<string, string[]> without a cast. The as any suppresses TypeScript checking on the whole argument and could silently hide future type regressions.

Summary
Three coupled fixes that let altimate-code connect to MCP servers protected by short-lived bearer tokens — most notably Microsoft Fabric Core MCP — without a local proxy or per-hour config edits.
Fixes #791 and #792.
Why
Fabric Core MCP requires Microsoft Entra ID OAuth 2.0 with bearer tokens that expire in ~1 hour. Today, configuring it in altimate-code fails three different ways:
headersisRecord<string,string>resolved once at config-load. Token expires → next reconnect → 401 → server marked failed → entire session unusable until manual JSON edit.oauthis omitted. Entra ID rejects RFC 7591 dynamic client registration → connection ends inneeds_client_registration→MCP.tools()filters it out →list-configshows the server but agent has zero tools.tools/listis rejected. Fabric returnsnullforannotations.{readOnlyHint,destructiveHint,idempotentHint,openWorldHint}. The MCP TypeScript SDK 1.26.0 (and 1.29.0 — confirmed) types these as strictboolean, so Zod throws$ZodErrorandclient.listTools()rejects. The server is then marked failed.None of these are altimate-specific. All three reproduce on upstream
opencode. We should likely upstream this PR after it lands here.Changes
