Add a startup-time warning in the MCP server entrypoint if DISPATCHAGENTNAME is unset (mirror the DISPATCHAUTHMODE=disab #421

Original recommendation

P3 — Add a startup-time warning in the MCP server entrypoint if DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is unset (mirror the DISPATCH_AUTH_MODE=disabled warning in docker-entrypoint.sh).

Matched top finding

The src/mcp/server.tsclaimIssueHandler and claimWorkHandler use resolveAgentName which reads DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME from env, falling back to requiring an explicit agentName argument. The src/mcp/server.test.ts (747 lines) sets DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME via process.env in the test file, but the production MCP server entrypoint (src/mcp/server.ts) does not check whether DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is unset and log a startup warning. If a model invokes the MCP without an explicit agentName and the env is unset, the response is "agentName is required" — not a startup error.

Evidence:

  • src/mcp/server.ts:40-50 shows the agentName requirement handling.
  • src/mcp/server.ts has no startup-time validation that DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is set.
  • The src/mcp/index.ts entrypoint is not present in the source tree (only src/mcp/server.ts), so the startup path needs to be re-verified.

                          Original recommendation

                          P3 — Add a startup-time warning in the MCP server entrypoint if DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is unset (mirror the DISPATCH_AUTH_MODE=disabled warning in docker-entrypoint.sh).

                          Matched top finding

                          The src/mcp/server.tsclaimIssueHandler and claimWorkHandler use resolveAgentName which reads DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME from env, falling back to requiring an explicit agentName argument. The src/mcp/server.test.ts (747 lines) sets DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME via process.env in the test file, but the production MCP server entrypoint (src/mcp/server.ts) does not check whether DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is unset and log a startup warning. If a model invokes the MCP without an explicit agentName and the env is unset, the response is "agentName is required" — not a startup error.

                          Evidence:

                          • src/mcp/server.ts:40-50 shows the agentName requirement handling.
                          • src/mcp/server.ts has no startup-time validation that DISPATCH_AGENT_NAME is set.
                          • The src/mcp/index.ts entrypoint is not present in the source tree (only src/mcp/server.ts), so the startup path needs to be re-verified.
