From 19ea73e8f24061ce22a08760620cb972a95e98ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Ingles Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 15:59:40 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] DH-21947_mcp-data-tool-fixes/task-03: Update unit tests in tableUtils.spec.ts to verify rollup table support. Current tests only mock basic Table objects. Add test cases that: 1) Mock a rollup table with different type returned by fetchVariableDefinition 2) Verify getTableOrError correctly fetches rollup tables 3) Ensure both variableId and tableName paths work with non-Table types. Run tests with: npx vitest run src/mcp/utils/tableUtils.spec.ts Added fetchVariableDefinition mock, updated existing success test to use it, and added two new rollup table test cases (one for tableName path, one for variableId path). All 16 tests pass.

Created McpServer.spec.ts with 15 tests verifying: session initialization (initialize request returns session ID), session persistence (same session ID reuses transport), session isolation (parallel inits create distinct sessions with different IDs), parallel requests without race conditions (5 concurrent same-session + 4 cross-session), all 17 MCP tools registered, session Maps cleared on stop(), and port management. All 300 tests pass.

The server: - -1. Creates a new, isolated server instance for the session -2. Assigns a unique session ID (UUID) -3. Returns the session ID in the response - -All subsequent requests from that client include an `mcp-session-id` header, which routes them to the correct server instance. - -``` -Client MCP Server - │ │ - ├─► POST /mcp (initialize) │ - │ (no mcp-session-id header) │ - │ ├─ Create new server+transport pair - │ ├─ Assign session ID - │ ◄── Response: mcp-session-id ────┤ - │ │ - ├─► POST /mcp (list tools) │ - │ mcp-session-id: │ - │ ├─ Look up existing session - │ ◄── Tool list ───────────────────┤ - │ │ - ├─► POST /mcp (call tool) │ - │ mcp-session-id: │ - │ ├─ Reuse same session (no reconnect) - │ ◄── Tool result ─────────────────┤ -``` - -### Parallel Request Safety - -Parallel requests are handled safely under the session model: - -- **Within the same session**: Requests are queued by the transport layer and processed in order — no race conditions. -- **Across different sessions**: Each session has its own isolated server instance — no interference between clients. - -This resolves a critical bug in the previous stateless implementation where concurrent requests could corrupt server state or return results to the wrong client. - -### MCP Apps and Notifications - -The session-based architecture enables capabilities that require persistent connections: - -- **Server-to-client notifications** — the server can push progress updates and log messages to clients during long-running operations. -- **MCP Apps** — interactive UI components that require a persistent session to function. - -These capabilities are available once a session is established and the client supports them. - -### Session Lifecycle - -- **Session creation**: On the first `initialize` request from a client. -- **Session reuse**: All subsequent requests from the same client include the session ID and reuse the existing connection. -- **Session cleanup**: When the client disconnects, the session and its resources are automatically freed. -- **Server shutdown**: All active sessions are cleanly closed when the extension deactivates or the MCP server is stopped. - -### Multiple Concurrent Sessions - -Each IDE or AI assistant that connects gets its own isolated session. For example, VS Code Copilot and Windsurf can both be connected simultaneously without interfering with each other. Each has its own server instance and tool execution context. - -## Troubleshooting Sessions +## Troubleshooting ### Session Not Found (404) From 781eaa18898c0c7292bf2f3a0edd2935c1b98d9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Ingles Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:21:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 17/19] Fixed a race condition bug with DHC connections (#DH-21947) --- src/services/DhcService.ts | 4 +++ src/services/ServerManager.ts | 55 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 2 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/services/DhcService.ts b/src/services/DhcService.ts index c679b47b..3c400245 100644 --- a/src/services/DhcService.ts +++ b/src/services/DhcService.ts @@ -461,6 +461,10 @@ export class DhcService extends DisposableBase implements IDhcService { } async getConnection(): Promise { + if (this.cn == null) { + await this.initSession(); + } + return this.cn; } diff --git a/src/services/ServerManager.ts b/src/services/ServerManager.ts index c4ade86c..334b5029 100644 --- a/src/services/ServerManager.ts +++ b/src/services/ServerManager.ts @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ export class ServerManager implements IServerManager { ) { this._configService = configService; this._connectionMap = new URLMap(); + this._pendingConnectionMap = new URLMap>(); this._coreClientCache = coreClientCache; this._dhcServiceFactory = dhcServiceFactory; this._dheClientCache = dheClientCache; @@ -70,6 +71,9 @@ export class ServerManager implements IServerManager { private readonly _configService: IConfigService; private readonly _connectionMap: URLMap; + private readonly _pendingConnectionMap: URLMap< + Promise + >; private readonly _coreClientCache: URLMap; private readonly _dhcServiceFactory: IDhcServiceFactory; private readonly _dheClientCache: URLMap; @@ -115,6 +119,7 @@ export class ServerManager implements IServerManager { await Promise.all([ this._connectionMap.dispose(), + this._pendingConnectionMap.dispose(), this._serverMap.dispose(), this._uriConnectionsMap.dispose(), this._workerURLToServerURLMap.dispose(), @@ -200,18 +205,52 @@ export class ServerManager implements IServerManager { const serverState = this._serverMap.get(serverUrl); if (serverState == null) { - return null; + throw new Error(`Server with URL '${serverUrl}' not found.`); } - // DHE supports multiple connections, but DHC does not. - if ( - !this._dheServiceCache.has(serverUrl) && - serverState.connectionCount > 0 - ) { - logger.info('Already connected to server:', serverUrl); - return null; + // We only support 1 connection for DHC servers in the extension + if (serverState.type === 'DHC' && serverState.connectionCount > 0) { + logger.info('Already connected to server:', serverUrl.href); + return this._connectionMap.getOrThrow(serverUrl); + } + + if (this._pendingConnectionMap.has(serverUrl)) { + logger.debug('Connection already in progress:', serverUrl.href); + return this._pendingConnectionMap.getOrThrow(serverUrl); + } + + const connectionPromise = this._doConnectToServer( + serverState, + workerConsoleType, + operateAsAnotherUser + ); + + // We only support 1 connection for DHC servers in the extension, but the + // count doesn't get updated until the connection is established, so we need + // to mark pending connections to prevent multiple simultaneous connection + // attempts to the same DHC server. + if (serverState.type === 'DHC') { + this._pendingConnectionMap.set( + serverUrl, + connectionPromise.then(result => { + this._pendingConnectionMap.delete(serverUrl); + return result; + }) + ); } + return connectionPromise; + }; + + private _doConnectToServer = async ( + serverState: ServerState, + workerConsoleType?: ConsoleType, + operateAsAnotherUser: boolean = false + ): Promise => { + let serverUrl = serverState.url; + + logger.debug('Connecting to server:', serverUrl.href); + let tagId: UniqueID | undefined; let placeholderUrl: URL | undefined; From 02256f455427c183dea0eea0d970143e3ba9a723 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Ingles Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:51:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 18/19] Updated comment (#DH-21947) --- src/mcp/McpServer.ts | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/mcp/McpServer.ts b/src/mcp/McpServer.ts index cb52585a..0b031cfd 100644 --- a/src/mcp/McpServer.ts +++ b/src/mcp/McpServer.ts @@ -250,7 +250,7 @@ export class McpServer extends DisposableBase { const sessionId = req.headers['mcp-session-id'] as string | undefined; const hasSessionId = sessionId != null; - // GET requests are never initialize requests (SSE only) + // Only POST requests can be an initialize request const isInitializeReq = requestBody ?
