MCP security and troubleshooting

Treat the local and cloud MCP endpoints differently. Desktop loopback is intended for programs on the same computer, while the cloud endpoint requires authenticated requests.

Verify a failed connection

  1. Recopy the JSON from Settings → MCP Server.
  2. On Desktop, confirm Foxora is running and the client uses http://127.0.0.1:4097/mcp.
  3. On web, confirm the client sends the current Foxora session token as an Authorization: Bearer header.
  4. Reload the client and inspect its server log for connection or authentication errors.
  5. Confirm the discovered tools are limited to read, document, search, glob, grep, UI-source lookup, and web access.

Expected result

The server connects with the correct boundary; shell and file-writing tools never appear through this endpoint.
