From d7b6d50442a89f005016e778bf825a72ef582525 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashwin Bhat Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 13:08:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: merge multiple --mcp-config flags and support --allowed-tools parsing (#748) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * fix: merge multiple --mcp-config flags instead of overwriting When users provide their own --mcp-config in claude_args, the action's built-in MCP servers (github_comment, github_ci, etc.) were being lost because multiple --mcp-config flags were overwriting each other. This fix: - Adds mcp-config to ACCUMULATING_FLAGS to collect all values - Changes delimiter to null character to avoid conflicts with JSON - Adds mergeMcpConfigs() to combine mcpServers objects from multiple configs - Merges inline JSON configs while preserving file path configs Fixes #745 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-authored-by: Claude Co-authored-by: Ashwin Bhat * fix: support hyphenated --allowed-tools flag and multiple values The --allowed-tools flag was not being parsed correctly when: 1. Using the hyphenated form (--allowed-tools) instead of camelCase (--allowedTools) 2. Passing multiple space-separated values after a single flag (e.g., --allowed-tools "Tool1" "Tool2" "Tool3") This fix: - Adds hyphenated variants (allowed-tools, disallowed-tools) to ACCUMULATING_FLAGS - Updates parsing to consume all consecutive non-flag values for accumulating flags - Merges values from both camelCase and hyphenated variants Fixes #746 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --------- Co-authored-by: claude[bot] <41898282+claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Co-authored-by: Ashwin Bhat --- base-action/src/parse-sdk-options.ts | 136 ++++++++++++++++-- base-action/test/parse-sdk-options.test.ts | 160 ++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 280 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/base-action/src/parse-sdk-options.ts b/base-action/src/parse-sdk-options.ts index 7b619f3..32eb96c 100644 --- a/base-action/src/parse-sdk-options.ts +++ b/base-action/src/parse-sdk-options.ts @@ -12,12 +12,79 @@ export type ParsedSdkOptions = { }; // Flags that should accumulate multiple values instead of overwriting -const ACCUMULATING_FLAGS = new Set(["allowedTools", "disallowedTools"]); +// Include both camelCase and hyphenated variants for CLI compatibility +const ACCUMULATING_FLAGS = new Set([ + "allowedTools", + "allowed-tools", + "disallowedTools", + "disallowed-tools", + "mcp-config", +]); + +// Delimiter used to join accumulated flag values +const ACCUMULATE_DELIMITER = "\x00"; + +type McpConfig = { + mcpServers?: Record; +}; + +/** + * Merge multiple MCP config values into a single config. + * Each config can be a JSON string or a file path. + * For JSON strings, mcpServers objects are merged. + * For file paths, they are kept as-is (user's file takes precedence and is used last). + */ +function mergeMcpConfigs(configValues: string[]): string { + const merged: McpConfig = { mcpServers: {} }; + let lastFilePath: string | null = null; + + for (const config of configValues) { + const trimmed = config.trim(); + if (!trimmed) continue; + + // Check if it's a JSON string (starts with {) or a file path + if (trimmed.startsWith("{")) { + try { + const parsed = JSON.parse(trimmed) as McpConfig; + if (parsed.mcpServers) { + Object.assign(merged.mcpServers!, parsed.mcpServers); + } + } catch { + // If JSON parsing fails, treat as file path + lastFilePath = trimmed; + } + } else { + // It's a file path - store it to handle separately + lastFilePath = trimmed; + } + } + + // If we have file paths, we need to keep the merged JSON and let the file + // be handled separately.
