fix(connections): wire Google connector browser launch end-to-end - #205
Merged
Conversation
- mcp/browser: respect BROWSER env (VS Code remote helper) before falling back to xdg-open via open package. In minimal containers xdg-open is absent/misconfigured, so the browser never opened and the Google connector appeared dead. The extension host already propagates BROWSER via ServerManager env inheritance; this makes McpBrowser honour it. - app/status-popover-body: wire onStartAuth for google/google-drive (was declared in the tab but never passed, so clicking 'Connect with browser' did nothing). Now POSTs to /amicode/connections/auth and falls back to window.open for the returned URL. - server/amicode/connections: add POST /amicode/connections/auth handler for browser method. Opens the Google account chooser as a placeholder via McpBrowser (BROWSER-aware) and returns waiting- browser state so the card shows progress. Replace placeholder URL with real OAuth authorization URL once client ID is provisioned. - server/routes: wire the new auth route. Fixes the reported 'browser for the google connector doesnt launch anything' and makes the whole flow diagnosable (browser env logged). Test: existing mcp/oauth-browser tests still pass (mocked browser layer); manual verification in devcontainer shows BROWSER=.../browser.sh now actually opens via code --openExternal and the Google card flips to 'Waiting for your browser'.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds Google and Google Drive browser authentication. The server exposes an authenticated endpoint, launches the provider URL, and returns a waiting state. The Amicode UI starts the flow, tracks its status, and opens returned HTTPS URLs. ChangesGoogle browser authentication

…holder (#206) Follow-up to #205 (already merged). The first iteration used https://accounts.google.com/signin as a placeholder to prove the browser wiring. This replaces it with the real https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth URL, scopes, and env handling: - google → gmail.readonly + userinfo.email - google-drive → drive.file + spreadsheets + userinfo.email Reads GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI (default loopback), generates state, and opens the real consent screen via the BROWSER-aware path. No more placeholder confusion.

Fixesharmoniqs/amicode#335 follow-up — 'browser for the google connector doesnt launch anything'.
This is a real Google connector — not a placeholder.
Root cause
McpBrowserusedopen(xdg-open on Linux) which is absent/misconfigured in minimal devcontainers, so the browser never opened. VS Code remote setsBROWSERto the helper that doescode --openExternalviaVSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI, but the browser service ignored it.onStartAuthfor google/google-drive but never wired it — the tab's 'Connect with browser' button posted nothing, and the server had no/amicode/connections/authhandler.Fix
mcp/browser.ts: respectBROWSERenv first (VS Code helper) before falling back toopen. The extension host propagatesBROWSERviaServerManagerenv inheritance.app/status-popover-body.tsx: wireonStartAuthfor google/google-drive to POST/amicode/connections/authand fall back towindow.openfor the returned URL. The overlay tracks validating state.server/amicode/connections.ts+server/routes: addPOST /amicode/connections/authhandler. This is a real Google connector — it constructs the actual Google OAuth authorization URL (https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth) with scopes:google→gmail.readonly+userinfo.email(read an email)google-drive→drive.file+spreadsheets+userinfo.email(create/populate a Sheet)Reads
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URIfrom env (default loopbackhttp://127.0.0.1:8085/oauth/callback), generatesstate, and opens the system browser via the BROWSER-aware path. When no client is configured it still opens Google with an error hint rather than silently doing nothing — set the env and it does the full OAuth.Verification
