Smart URL Normalization (OP#527)
When users enter a bare hostname like
dockyard:8940without a protocol prefix, the wizard now automatically probes both protocols instead of failing:- Tries
https://first (preferred) - Falls back to
http://with an insecure-connection warning requiring explicit user confirmation - If the user explicitly typed
http://, also warns and asks for confirmation
Applied to all URL input points in the wizard:
- Docker sidecar connect (both wizard paths)
- OpenProject domain resolution (both wizard paths)
Tests (OP#528)
10 new unit tests covering
normalizeAndProbeUrl: protocol passthrough, bare hostname probing, host:port handling, insecure decline flow, trailing slash stripping, both-fail case. 174 total tests, 0 failures.Install

Setup Wizard UX Overhaul (Epic OP#523)
- OP#518: Improved error messaging when
.envexists but is missing required values — now suggests--setupflag for reinstalls and distinguishes "found but incomplete" from "not found" in non-TTY mode - OP#519: Fixed duplicate service bug in Docker compose handling — services are now replaced in-place instead of appended, prompts correctly say "Update/Replace" for existing services, removed dangerous regex-based service removal
- OP#520: Fixed Claude Code registration scope — now cleans existing config from both project and user scopes before adding, uses
execFileSyncfor HTTP mode to prevent shell injection from base64 characters in API keys - OP#521: Setup wizard now reuses existing
MCP_API_KEYfrom compose.envinstead of always generating a new one — prevents 401 errors when the registered key doesn't match the running sidecar - OP#522: Improved start/restart language and manual command hints — uses "Restart" for existing services, includes
-fcompose path in fallback commands - OP#524: Added 11 unit tests covering
readExistingMcpApiKey,findExistingMcpServiceport extraction, andreplaceMcpServiceInCompose(164 total tests, 0 failures)

v1.3.0-alpha: Simplify to two deployment modes
Pre-releasereleased this
2026-02-15 19:41:43 +00:00 | 167 commits to main since this releaseWhat changed
The installer and documentation now present two deployment modes instead of three:
Direct (stdio) Docker sidecar Best for Any developer, solo or team admin_command, persistent serverTransport stdio (default) HTTP (always enabled) Requires Node 18+ Docker, Docker Compose API tools (56) All All admin_commandNo Yes The standalone "Shared (HTTP)" mode has been removed. HTTP transport is now inherent to Docker sidecar mode — it's always enabled because that's how clients connect to the container.
Docker sidecar sub-question
When choosing Docker sidecar, the installer now asks:
1) Set up a new Docker sidecar on this machine 2) Connect to an existing Docker sidecar- Setup creates a
.envwith OpenProject credentials + HTTP transport vars, auto-generates anMCP_API_KEY, and prints connection instructions for team members. - Connect prompts for the server URL and API key, tests connectivity, and writes a URL-based client config. No
.envcreated on the client.
Breaking changes
buildEnvContent("http-server", ...)andbuildEnvContent("http-client", ...)are removed. Usedocker-setupanddocker-connectinstead.buildClientConfig("http-client", ...)andbuildClientConfig("http-server", ...)are removed. Usedocker-connectanddocker-setupinstead.- The old
dockermode alias still works forbuildEnvContent().

Renamed deployment mode labels from "Local (stdio)" / "Remote (HTTP)" to "Direct (stdio)" / "Shared (HTTP)" across the README, installer prompts, and setup wizard.
The old names implied where OpenProject is hosted, which was misleading — OpenProject can be anywhere in all modes. The new names describe how the MCP server is launched:
- Direct — your AI client spawns the server as a child process (stdio pipes)
- Shared — a persistent HTTP server that multiple AI clients connect to by URL
No functional changes. All 114 tests pass.

v1.2.0-alpha — Mode-aware interactive installer
Pre-releasereleased this
2026-02-15 18:48:30 +00:00 | 179 commits to main since this releaseHighlights
The first-run installer now asks which deployment mode you want and guides
.envcreation accordingly. Previously it only supported stdio — now it handles all three modes.What's new
Mode-aware installer (OP#459)
Running
npx open-project-sidecar-mcpwith no.envnow walks you through:- Deployment mode selection — Local (stdio), Remote (HTTP), or Docker sidecar
- Mode-specific credential prompts:
- stdio: OpenProject URL + API key
- HTTP server: above + port selection, auto-generated
MCP_API_KEY - HTTP client: remote server URL + API key (no
.envcreated) - Docker: above + container name
- Connectivity test — verifies your OpenProject instance is reachable
.envcreation — writes credentials to a local file (or appends Docker keys to existing.env)- Client registration — writes config to
~/.claude.json(or preferred MCP client)
Shared helpers
Extracted reusable functions used by both
promptEnvSetup()(first-run) andrunSetupWizard()(--setup):buildEnvContent(mode, credentials)— generates.envcontent for any modebuildClientConfig(mode, credentials)— generates MCP client config objectpromptDeploymentMode()/promptCredentials()— interactive promptstestHealth()/testApiDirect()— moved to module scope for shared use
Updated
--helpoutput- Removed stale
envblock from Claude Code example - Added
--setupand--setup-jsonto options list - Lists all supported environment variables including HTTP transport vars
README rewrite
- Quick Start now leads with the installer (
npx open-project-sidecar-mcp) - Each deployment mode section references the installer
- New Manual configuration subsection with heredoc examples for CI/scripted use
Tests
- 11 new unit tests for
buildEnvContent()andbuildClientConfig()across all modes - 114 tests total, all passing
