kiloconnect[bot] 06cd80d1bd chore: enforce minimal markdown table formatting
Prettier pads markdown table cells for column alignment, which turns any
content change into a table-wide realignment diff. Markdown was only in
prettierignore for packages/kilo-vscode/; the root formatter still
repadded docs elsewhere (e.g. TESTING.md, kilo-docs, AGENTS.md).

Adds *.md to the root .prettierignore, documents the convention in
AGENTS.md, and adds script/check-md-table-padding.ts + a workflow to
enforce it. Existing padded tables in Kilo-owned docs have been
rewritten via the script's --fix mode.

MCP Servers Sub-Tab Parity

Priority: P2

The legacy MCP Servers sub-tab (842 lines) had full server lifecycle management. The new sub-tab supports viewing, removing, and toggling servers with live connection status.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature Legacy New
View server list Name + source badge + status dot Name + command/URL
Add server Via edit config file buttons Not available
Remove server Delete button + confirmation Remove button + confirmation
Edit server config Via edit config file buttons Not available
Connection status Colored dot (green/yellow/red) Live status display
Enable/disable toggle ToggleSwitch per server Connect/disconnect toggle
Restart/refresh Per-server refresh button Not available
Refresh all "Refresh All MCP Servers" button Not available
Edit Global MCP config Button to open file Not available
Edit Project MCP config Button to open file Not available
Network timeout Per-server dropdown (15s60min) Not available
Server source badge Shows "global" / "project" Not displayed
Empty state N/A "No MCP servers configured. Edit the opencode config file..."

Expandable Server Detail (Legacy Only)

When a server was connected and enabled, expanding it showed 5 tabs:

Tab Content
Tools List of MCP tools with tool count
Resources List of resources + resource templates with count
Instructions Server-provided instruction text (if present)
Logs Error/log entries sorted by timestamp with count
Auth OAuth debug info: auth status, token expiration, scopes, refresh info

The new extension has none of this expandable detail.

Remaining Work

Important (P2)

  • Add MCP Server dialog: Form to define a new server with name, transport type (stdio/SSE), command+args or URL, environment variables. Write to CLI config via updateConfig()
  • Edit MCP Server: Allow modifying existing server configurations
  • Restart/refresh button: Per-server and "refresh all" buttons. Requires CLI endpoint to restart MCP servers
  • Edit config file buttons: Quick links to open global/project MCP config in the editor

Nice to Have (P3)

  • Expandable server detail: Show tools, resources, instructions, and logs per server when expanded. Requires CLI to expose per-server tool/resource/log data
  • Network timeout per server: If CLI supports per-server timeout config, expose it
  • Server source badge: Display whether server comes from global or project config
  • OAuth/Auth tab: Display auth status for OAuth-based MCP servers (depends on CLI support)

Notes

The mcp-and-mcp-hub.md doc in non-agent-features/ tracks MCP configuration as a broader feature. This doc focuses specifically on the MCP Servers sub-tab within the Agent Behaviour settings tab. The Marketplace covers MCP server discovery and installation from a registry.
