Waleed f0d85cb7ab fix(mcp): fix caret misalignment and tool schema contract validation (#5566)
* fix(mcp): fix caret misalignment in Add MCP Server modal fields

The Server URL and Header fields render a transparent input under a
formatted overlay div for env-var highlighting. The overlay used
font-medium/font-sans but the real input didn't, so glyph widths
diverged and the native caret drifted from the visible text as you
typed.

* fix(mcp): loosen tool schema contract to accept valid JSON Schema shapes

discoverMcpToolsContract's property schema rejected legal JSON Schema
that real MCP servers can return: array-form `items` (tuple
validation) and non-primitive `enum` values. Any server exercising
either shape failed contract validation client-side and blanked the
entire MCP tools list.

* fix(mcp): only render dropdown UI for primitive-valued enums

The MCP dynamic-args dropdown stringifies enum members for its
labels/values. Now that the tool schema contract accepts
non-primitive enum members (object/array), routing those through the
dropdown would collapse distinct values to "[object Object]" and
submit that string as the tool argument. Gate the dropdown on
primitive-only enums; non-primitive enums fall through to the
existing type-based branching (the JSON long-input editor for
object/array types), which round-trips arbitrary JSON correctly.

* fix(mcp): route non-primitive enums to the JSON editor regardless of type

isPrimitiveEnum() correctly excluded object/array enum members from
the dropdown, but the fallback only reached the long-input JSON
editor when paramSchema.type was 'array'. An object-typed (or
untyped) param with a non-primitive enum fell through to the default
short-input, which stringifies via toString() and drops the
enum-membership guarantee entirely. Any non-primitive enum now routes
straight to long-input, independent of the declared type.

* chore(mcp): fold inline comment into the existing TSDoc block

* fix(mcp): serialize non-string values before displaying in the long-input editor

The long-input JSON editor received value={value || ''} unconditionally,
so an argument already holding a parsed object/array (loaded from the
block's JSON arguments field) rendered as "[object Object]" or a
comma-joined list instead of valid JSON, and saving would overwrite the
real value with that mangled text. Serialize non-string values with
JSON.stringify before display; onChange still stores the raw text the
user edits, unchanged.

* fix(mcp): parse JSON-typed long-input edits back into real values

The long-input editor's onChange always stored the raw typed text, so
a param whose schema requires an object/array/non-primitive-enum value
(e.g. entering {"mode":"strict"}) was persisted as a string, not the
actual JSON value — the MCP tool call could receive the wrong type.
requiresJsonValue() identifies these schemas; onChange now parses the
edited text back into the real value once it's valid JSON, falling
back to the raw string mid-edit so the controlled textarea keeps
reflecting in-progress keystrokes.

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.
