fix(mcp,fastmcp): serve per-user workflows from MCP front ends - #2170
fix(mcp,fastmcp): serve per-user workflows from MCP front ends#2170BarneyChambers wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
The MCP and FastMCP front ends called builder.build() unconditionally at startup. Per-user workflows are deliberately left unset on the shared builder, so these configs died with "Must set a workflow before building" before the server started. Build session managers with SessionManager.create(), register per-user tools from get_workflow_input_schema(), route tool calls through session(user_id=...), and shut down session managers when the server exits.

Description
The MCP and FastMCP front ends called
builder.build()unconditionally at startup. The shared builder deliberately leaves a per-user workflow unset, becauseSessionManagerbuilds one per user on demand, so every per-user config died withMust set a workflow before buildingbefore the server came up.That configuration is what MCP authentication prescribes: pair
per_user_mcp_clientwith a per-user workflow such asper_user_react_agent.Reproduced on
developatc933737c, doing exactly what the front end does:Related to #2162. The A2A portion of that report is in #2167.
Startup
Build session managers with
SessionManager.create, which is what the other front ends use. It builds the shared workflow, or leaves it unset and starts the per-user builder reaper. Workers track managers and callshutdown()on exit.Tool registration and runtime
register_function_with_mcpno longer readssession_manager.workflowfor per-user configs. It usesget_workflow_input_schema()instead. Tool wrappers callsession(user_id=...)for per-user runs, resolving the user from runtime context or the Bearer token on the MCP request.Serving a per-user workflow requires
server_auth. Without it there is no user to build for, andsession()raises a clear error naming the missing user ID.Testing
