Description

Adds an explicit /mcp parallel command that configures the Parallel Search MCP endpoint without changing any default provider or existing MCP server. If a user already has an own parallel server entry, the command reports that it is already configured and leaves the complete existing configuration untouched.

Related issue: none.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactor (no functional changes)

How Has This Been Tested?

Focused coverage verifies the canonical endpoint, preservation of present and absent Composio session state, and non-mutation of a custom existing parallel server with its URL, headers, credentials, and settings. All four focused Bun regression tests pass, along with git diff --check.

  • bun test passes
  • bun run typecheck passes
  • bun run lint passes (if applicable)

Checklist:

  • My code follows the project's style guidelines
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works

Disclosure: I work at Parallel.ai, which operates this MCP endpoint.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the /mcp parallel command to configure and connect the Parallel MCP server.
    • Added clear status feedback for successful, deferred, already-configured, and failed connections.
    • Preserves custom MCP settings, credentials, unrelated configuration, and existing servers during updates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved configuration reliability with safer concurrent updates and recovery after interrupted saves.
    • Prevents unnecessary reconnects and avoids overwriting changes made during configuration prompts.
    • MCP command failures now report errors without changing runtime state.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for persistence, reconnect behavior, failure handling, and duplicate setup scenarios.

Walkthrough

The CLI now uses locked, atomic configuration updates. MCP server and Parallel MCP commands use transactional persistence, preserve concurrent configuration changes, and report save or connection failures.

Changes

MCP configuration updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locked configuration persistence
apps/supercode-cli/server/src/lib/cli-config.ts, apps/supercode-cli/server/src/lib/cli-config.test.ts, apps/supercode-cli/server/package.json
Adds updateCliConfig with locking, atomic writes, symlink handling, permission preservation, default merging, and no-op support. Tests cover malformed files, failed writes, permissions, symlinks, updater errors, and concurrent updates.
Parallel MCP configuration flow
apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp.ts, apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp-parallel.test.ts
Updates Parallel configuration through transactional writes. It preserves custom and credential-backed settings, avoids unnecessary reconnects, reports deferred connections, and reports save failures.
MCP server update integration
apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/mcp-server.ts, apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/mcp-server.test.ts
Adds and removes MCP servers through updateCliConfig callbacks. Command failures set the exit code and leave runtime state unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4a0bc

The feature is opt-in and preserves existing MCP settings, but updating the CLI configuration may not retain nonstandard ownership or access-control metadata on shared configuration files. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for that bounded security risk.

Poem

A rabbit guards the config file,
Locks it fast and waits a while.
Parallel saves, then seeks its way,
Deferred connections retry next day.
The CLI reports each state in style.

In `@apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp.ts`:
- Around line 27-31: Export ParallelPresetDependencies and narrow its members to
the inputs and outputs actually used by configureParallelMcp, especially
changing saveConfig from the broader typeof saveCliConfig contract to the
function’s required return type so consumers and mcp-parallel.test.ts no longer
need a never cast.
- Around line 36-50: Update the configuration update flow around the command’s
getConfig/saveConfig calls to perform an atomic read-merge-write or otherwise
serialize concurrent updates. Ensure the latest mcpServers map is merged when
adding PARALLEL_MCP_PRESET, preserving concurrent server changes and any
existing custom parallel configuration.
- Around line 52-56: Update configureParallelMcp around the reconnect callback
and await reconnect so failures are caught after persistence, returning a
distinct deferred-connection result instead of rejecting. Adjust the /mcp
parallel command output to state that the configuration was saved but the
connection is deferred, while preserving the existing success path.

217-223: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider an fsync before the rename for crash durability.

The rename is atomic with respect to concurrent readers. It is not durable across a crash. If the machine loses power after the rename but before the page cache is flushed, cli-config.json can come back empty or truncated, which loses stored API keys and MCP servers. To close that gap, flush the temp file, and optionally its parent directory, before the rename.

♻️ Proposed durable write
-    await fs.writeFile(temporaryFile, JSON.stringify(config, null, 2), {
-      encoding: "utf-8",
-      mode: 0o600,
-      flag: "wx",
-    })
-    if (mode !== undefined) await fs.chmod(temporaryFile, mode)
+    const handle = await fs.open(temporaryFile, "wx", 0o600)
+    try {
+      await handle.writeFile(JSON.stringify(config, null, 2), "utf-8")
+      if (mode !== undefined) await handle.chmod(mode)
+      await handle.sync()
+    } finally {
+      await handle.close()
+    }
     await fs.rename(temporaryFile, configFile)

Handle onCompromised explicitly.

proper-lockfile 4.1.2 refreshes the lock on a timer, and its default onCompromised callback throws. A refresh failure can therefore become an uncaught asynchronous exception instead of rejecting updateCliConfig. Supply a handler that records or handles lock loss; the handler does not itself reject the promise.
