feat(mcp): add @pascal-app/mcp — Model Context Protocol server

TL;DR

This PR adds a new workspace package @pascal-app/mcp (v0.1.0) that exposes the Pascal scene graph as MCP tools, resources, and prompts so any MCP-compatible AI host — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or a custom agent — can build and modify Pascal projects programmatically, with no browser required. It also adds scene persistence (filesystem + Supabase adapters) and the editor routes to load MCP-built scenes directly. The only changes outside packages/mcp/ are two additive exports on @pascal-app/core, a URL-scheme allowlist on core schema fields, two new Next.js routes and API handlers in apps/editor, and a new CI workflow.

Motivation

Issue #74 "Viewer component API definition" opens the question of how external consumers should drive Pascal. The viewer answers "embed in a React app." This PR answers the complementary case: drive Pascal from anything, without a browser — AI agents, CLI tools, background services, or IDE plugins. An agent can now build a complete scene (walls, zones, doors, windows) and have it immediately openable in the editor via a URL.

The server runs headlessly in Node — no WebGPU, no React, no Three.js. The SceneBridge wraps a Zustand store with the same Zundo temporal middleware the editor uses, so undo/redo work correctly. Derived geometry (wall mitering, CSG cutouts) is recomputed only when the scene is opened in a browser via @pascal-app/viewer.

Changes outside packages/mcp/ (transparent disclosure)

All are additive. None modify existing behavior.

packages/core/package.json — 5 new subpath exports (CROSS_CUTTING §1)

Added ./schema, ./store, ./material-library, ./spatial-grid, ./wall entries to the exports map. The main "." entry is unchanged. Without these, import('@pascal-app/core') in Node crashes because the main entry transitively imports Three.js CJS globals that don't resolve outside a browser context. apps/editor and @pascal-app/viewer are unaffected — they use "." and don't reference these subpaths.

packages/core/src/schema/asset-url.ts — URL scheme allowlist (CROSS_CUTTING §5)

Introduces a shared AssetUrl Zod validator replacing bare z.string() on every URL field in core's schemas (scan.url, guide.url, item.asset.src, material.texture.url, all material map fields). Rejects javascript:, file:, ftp:, data:text/html, foreign http:, vbscript:, and similar. Accepts asset://, blob:, data:image/, / (app-relative), https:, and http://localhost for dev. Optional per-origin narrowing via PASCAL_ALLOWED_ASSET_ORIGINS.

This closes the security finding from the Phase 3 audit: a crafted scene with javascript:alert(1) for a texture URL would have beaconed or exfiltrated when rendered. Known gaps remain at the save_scene / POST /api/scenes boundary (see Security notes).

apps/editor — persistence routes + scene page (CROSS_CUTTING §4)

• apps/editor/app/api/scenes/route.ts — GET /api/scenes (list), POST /api/scenes (create)
• apps/editor/app/api/scenes/[id]/route.ts — GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with ETag / If-Match optimistic locking
• apps/editor/app/scene/[id]/page.tsx — server-rendered page that fetches a scene by ID and passes its graph to the editor via applySceneGraphToEditor
• apps/editor/app/scenes/page.tsx — scene list page
• apps/editor/lib/scene-store-server.ts — server-side factory that picks filesystem or Supabase adapter based on env
• apps/editor/package.json adds @pascal-app/mcp as a workspace dependency (for the ./storage subpath)
• packages/mcp/package.json exports ./storage subpath so editor can import just the storage adapter without the full MCP surface

.github/workflows/mcp-ci.yml — new CI workflow (CROSS_CUTTING §3)

Runs on PRs and pushes touching packages/mcp/, packages/core/, or bun.lock. Installs with Bun 1.3.0, builds core then mcp, runs bun test, runs bunx biome check. Does not modify release.yml.

How to test

# From repo root
bun install
bun run --cwd packages/core build
bun run --cwd packages/mcp build

# Unit + integration tests (294 tests, 40 files)
bun test --cwd packages/mcp

# Biome lint
bunx biome check packages/mcp

# End-to-end smoke test (spawns stdio server, exercises 4 tools)
bun run --cwd packages/mcp smoke

# Full sweep — 30 tools, 4 resources, 3 prompts, all PASS
# (requires the built binary at packages/mcp/dist/bin/pascal-mcp.js)
bun packages/mcp/test-reports/phase8/p10-full-sweep.ts

# Try with Claude Desktop
# Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
# { "mcpServers": { "pascal": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["pascal-mcp"] } } }
# Then ask: "Use the Pascal MCP to create a 3-bedroom apartment at 100 m²."

Known limitations / non-goals for v0.1

1. GLB export is not implemented. Three.js is browser-only; export_glb returns a structured { status: 'not_implemented' } response.
2. Vision tools require host sampling support. analyze_floorplan_image, analyze_room_photo, and photo_to_scene delegate to the host via MCP sampling (createMessage). Hosts without sampling capability receive a structured sampling_unavailable error. No vision model is bundled.
3. Headless mode doesn't regenerate derived geometry. Wall mitering, slab triangulation, and CSG cutouts run inside React hooks in the editor renderer. Headless MCP manipulates node data freely; rendered geometry is recomputed when a browser opens the scene via @pascal-app/viewer.
4. HTTP transport is single-session. The Streamable HTTP transport uses the SDK's StreamableHTTPServerTransport, which only accepts one initialize per process lifetime. Spinning up a second MCP client hits a Server already initialized error. For multi-client scenarios, run one process per client or use stdio.
5. Concurrent same-id writes race. FilesystemSceneStore.save() checks expectedVersion optimistically without a per-id lock. Five simultaneous save_scene({ id: "x", expectedVersion: 1 }) calls may all return ok: true; only one durable bump lands (Phase 8 P8, scenario 2). The Supabase backend is not affected — Postgres provides the compare-and-swap. Fix tracked as follow-up.
6. .index.json drift under load. Concurrent distinct saves can leave the index sidecar missing entries that exist on disk. list_scenes falls back to a full directory scan when the index is absent, but not when it is merely stale (Phase 8 P8, scenario 5). Fix tracked with same lock-queue follow-up.
7. No authentication. The HTTP transport and editor API routes have no auth layer. The filesystem store relies on OS-level file permissions; Supabase RLS enforces ownership, but the ownerId field is null until an auth layer is wired (env vars for Supabase Auth / Better Auth are declared; zero code exists yet).
8. item.asset.thumbnail not yet validated. The thumbnail field on ItemNode is still bare z.string(). The src field is fully validated by AssetUrl. Follow-up: apply the same validator to thumbnail and fix the place_item tool's thumbnail: '' default.
9. Catalog unavailable headless. pascal://catalog/items returns { status: 'catalog_unavailable', items: [] } until @pascal-app/core exposes a Node-consumable catalog.
10. SiteNode.children inconsistency. SiteNode.children holds full node objects while every other container holds ID strings. MCP works around this by traversing the flat nodes dict. Upstream alignment proposed as a follow-up (CROSS_CUTTING §2).

Security notes

In this PR:

• AssetUrl Zod validator on all URL fields in core schemas — rejects javascript:, file:, ftp:, data:text/html, foreign http: (Phase 8 P4: 36/36 schema-layer checks PASS)
• apply_patch re-parses each node with AnyNode before mutating the store — URL validation fires here
• save_scene (both includeCurrentScene: true and false) re-parses every node at the save boundary
• POST /api/scenes AND PUT /api/scenes/[id] share apiGraphSchema that Zod-validates every node before the store is touched
• safeFetch for all user-supplied image URLs in photo_to_scene, analyze_floorplan_image, analyze_room_photo:
  • Blocks loopback, private IP ranges, link-local (incl. cloud-metadata 169.254.169.254), .local/.internal/.corp hostnames, v4-mapped IPv6 loopback
  • Manual redirects (max 3), allowlist revalidated per hop
  • 20 MB streamed size cap, 10 s timeout
• PASCAL_ALLOWED_ASSET_ORIGINS env var for per-origin https: narrowing (applies to both AssetUrl and safeFetch)
• FilesystemSceneStore sanitizes slugs to prevent path traversal (Phase 8 P9, case 3: PASS)
• 10 MB size cap per scene enforced at save_scene (Phase 8 P9, case 2: PASS)
• ETag / If-Match on all editor API mutating verbs (Phase 8 P3: 12/12 PASS)
• CI workflow runs with permissions: contents: read only

Tracked as follow-ups (not blocking merge):

• item.asset.thumbnail still bare z.string() — src is validated; apply AssetUrl to thumbnail too
• No auth layer on HTTP transport or editor API routes (env vars declared; implementation pending)

Follow-ups (GitHub issues after merge)

• Fix FilesystemSceneStore same-id write race with per-id in-process lock queue
• Fix .index.json drift: use lock-protected index write or rebuild index from disk on stale reads
• Apply AssetUrl to item.asset.thumbnail; fix place_item empty-thumbnail default
• Align SiteNode.children to z.string() IDs + setScene migration (breaking change, separate PR)
• Expose a Node-consumable item catalog from @pascal-app/core
• Add auth layer to HTTP transport and editor API (Supabase Auth / Better Auth env already declared)
• Post-build chmod +x dist/bin/pascal-mcp.js so fresh installs don't need a manual chmod
• Add adjacency check to cut_opening to catch overlapping openings on the same wall
• Consider @pascal-app/systems split so @pascal-app/core goes data-only (breaking, larger scope)
