Waleed 6f90d8976d fix(mcp): stream pinned transport under Bun (providers + self-hosted-private MCP) (#5901)
* fix(mcp): stream pinned transport via undici.request + redirect interceptor

Extends the Bun undici-streaming fix to createPinnedFetchWithDispatcher (providers,
A2A, self-hosted-private MCP over SSE). It now routes through undiciRequestAsResponse
like the guarded builder, so streaming bodies deliver under Bun. Unlike the guarded
path it has no followRedirectsGuarded wrapper (it's handed straight to provider SDKs),
so redirects are followed via undici's redirect interceptor composed onto the pinned
Agent — every hop still dispatches through the pinned connect.lookup (resolvedIP), so a
redirect can't escape to another address, matching the old fetch guarantee. secureFetchWithPinnedIP (raw Node http, tools path) is untouched.

* fix(mcp): honor redirect mode + drop cross-origin credentials on pinned fetch

Replaces the always-on redirect interceptor with redirect-mode-aware handling:
- redirect:'manual' returns the 3xx without following (detectMcpAuthType inspects it)
- redirect:'error' throws on a 3xx
- default 'follow' uses followRedirectsGuarded, which drops ALL headers on a
  cross-origin hop (so a redirect can't disclose a provider api-key to another
  origin — Greptile P1) and stamps the final response.url + redirected flag.
Extracts the shared Request-lift helper used by both guarded and pinned builders.

* fix(mcp): don't block private IP-literal URLs on the pinned fetch path

Routing the pinned fetch through followRedirectsGuarded added an initial
assertGuardedRedirectTarget check the old undici.fetch path never ran, which
would block a self-hosted MCP configured with a private IP-literal URL
(e.g. http://10.0.0.5:3000/mcp) — its own transport. The pinned path's callers
already validate the target and the private carve-out intentionally pins to a
private IP, so skip the initial-target check (validateInitialTarget: false) while
still validating every redirect hop. Adds a regression test.

* fix(mcp): carry redirect mode from a Request input in liftFetchArgs

liftFetchArgs copied method/headers/body/signal from a Request but omitted
redirect, so a Request({ redirect: 'manual' }) on the pinned path defaulted to
'follow' and was transparently followed. Copy input.redirect (explicit init still
wins). Adds a Request-input redirect-mode test.

* fix(mcp): permit the pinned IP as a redirect target (initial + hops), block other private IPs

Consolidates the pinned-path redirect policy into one mechanism. followRedirectsGuarded
took validateInitialTarget to skip the initial private-IP check, but per-hop checks still
blocked a self-hosted MCP redirecting to its own pinned private IP (e.g. a trailing-slash
301 to http://10.0.0.5/mcp/). Replace it with allowRedirectToIp: the pinned fetch permits
exactly its own validated IP as a target — initial URL and any hop that stays on it — while
every OTHER private target (e.g. the 169.254.169.254 metadata IP) stays blocked. Tests cover
the same-IP hop (followed) and the metadata-IP escape (still refused).

Ask DeepWiki Set Up with Cursor

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
