If no issue exists, please create an issue first, and check with the maintainers if the issue is valid.

Testing

Note

How CI runs on fork PRs — no action needed from you.

1. Workflow approval. GitHub holds the first run on fork PRs until a maintainer approves it, so a pause before any check appears is expected.
2. Credential-free checks. Once approved, format, lint, typecheck, unit tests, cyclic-dependency and compile-only build checks run without repository secrets. Only the checks relevant to what you changed (client / server / RTS) will run, and their logs are safe to debug against.
3. Maintainer-triggered checks. Cypress, Playwright, Docker builds and deploy previews need secrets, so a maintainer starts them with /approve-ci, and /build-deploy-preview when hands-on testing is needed. Approval is pinned to one commit — pushing again requires fresh approval.

The awaiting-maintainer / awaiting-contributor labels show whose turn it is. You do not need ok-to-test or any slash command. Full detail: Pull request check states.

Select the validation relevant to this change:

• Client unit tests
• Server unit tests
• Cypress

• Deploy preview

Walkthrough

The MCP server adds default-enabled capability gates and normalizes configured API base URLs. Tests cover false-value handling and API URL normalization.

Changes

MCP configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
API URL and gate helpers app/client/packages/mcp/src/gates.ts, app/client/packages/mcp/src/gates.test.ts	Adds gateEnabledUnlessFalse, which disables a capability only for trimmed, case-insensitive "false". Adds apiBaseUrlFromEnv, which removes trailing slashes and a trailing /api/v1 segment. Tests cover both helpers.
Server configuration wiring app/client/packages/mcp/src/server.ts	Uses default-enabled gates for data and JavaScript capabilities. Existing governance requirements remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 718fb

Deployments using legacy values such as 0 or off may unexpectedly expose MCP data or JavaScript capabilities. Preserve those disable aliases or provide a configuration migration before merging.

- Around line 30-32: Update the gate initialization for
APPSMITH_MCP_DATA_ENABLED and APPSMITH_MCP_JS_ENABLED to preserve the legacy
disabled aliases, including "0", "off", "no", "disabled", and blank values,
while retaining the new default-on behavior when unset. Reuse the existing gate
helper or extend gateEnabledUnlessFalse so both capability gates consistently
honor these values.
