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)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the /mcp parallel command to configure and connect the Parallel MCP server.
    • Added clear feedback when the server is configured, connected, or already configured.
    • Preserves existing MCP settings and custom servers during setup.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for configuration, reconnect behavior, existing settings, and duplicate setup handling.

Parallel MCP command

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parallel preset and configuration flow
apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp.ts, apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp-parallel.test.ts
Adds the Parallel MCP preset and configureParallelMcp. The function preserves existing configuration, avoids duplicate setup, saves new server entries, and reconnects the server. Tests cover these cases.
CLI dispatch and help
apps/supercode-cli/server/src/cli/commands/slashCommands/mcp.ts
Adds the parallel command branch, status messages, and /mcp parallel help text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2240a

The new opt-in command can overwrite concurrent MCP configuration changes and can report failure even after saving the endpoint when reconnection fails. These bounded correctness and user-feedback issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

A rabbit hops through config bright,
Adds Parallel by moonlit light.
Servers stay, duplicates sleep,
Then MCP connections leap.
“Configured!” sings the CLI tonight.

Export a narrow dependency type for configureParallelMcp.

configureParallelMcp exposes Partial<ParallelPresetDependencies> in its public signature. Export this type and define only the inputs and outputs that this function uses. The current typeof saveCliConfig contract requires a return value that the function discards, so mcp-parallel.test.ts must cast its dependency mock to never.

As per coding guidelines, explicitly export types needed by consumers.

Serialize the nested configuration update.

Line 36 reads the server map before Lines 44-50 save it. If another CLI process adds or changes an MCP server in that interval, this stale mcpServers value overwrites the newer map. This can also replace a custom parallel configuration that the command must preserve.

Make the config layer perform an atomic read-merge-write, or serialize configuration updates.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Return a deferred status when reconnect fails.

The server is persisted before Line 56. If reconnectServer rejects, configureParallelMcp rejects and /mcp parallel prints no result. The user then sees a command failure even though the configuration was saved.

Catch the reconnect error and return a distinct deferred-connection result. Update the command output to say that the configuration was saved but the connection is deferred.

Proposed change
-  await reconnect(PARALLEL_MCP_PRESET.name, PARALLEL_MCP_PRESET.config)
-  return "configured"
+  try {
+    await reconnect(PARALLEL_MCP_PRESET.name, PARALLEL_MCP_PRESET.config)
+    return "configured"
+  } catch {
+    return "connection-deferred"
+  }

As per coding guidelines, use try-catch for async operations.
