Summary

  • Shared Principal + scope contracts in @singleton-sd/post-kit-types
  • ApiKeyAuthenticator + central requireScope for REST send and MCP tools
  • Legacy plaintext TENANT_KEY_MAP dual-read with default PoC scopes (send + MCP keep working)

Related to #83 (Slice A). Does not close #83 — Slice B still needed: hashed key store, revoke/expiry, register-script updates.

Test plan

  • pnpm --filter @singleton-sd/post-kit-types test
  • pnpm --filter @singleton-sd/post-kit-api test (302)
  • CodeRabbit / human review of auth boundary
  • Confirm existing bearer tokens still work against deployed API after merge

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Bearer API-key authentication with tenant and environment context.
    • Added permission scopes for email sending and template operations.
    • Added per-tool authorization for MCP requests.
    • Protected credentials and principal identifiers from authentication error messages.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Requests lacking required permissions now receive consistent authorization errors.
    • Improved tenant and environment isolation across sending and MCP operations.
  • Documentation
    • Updated authentication, MCP usage, and multi-tenant security guidance.

Introduce Principal + PostKit scopes, authenticate legacy TENANT_KEY_MAP into
that model, and enforce scopes centrally on send and MCP tools (Slice A).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared principal-based API-key authentication and scoped authorization. REST send and MCP handlers now use Authenticator, derive tenant context from principals, and enforce scopes. Tests and documentation cover authentication, tenant isolation, scope failures, and MCP tool mappings.

Changes

Shared authentication contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Principal contracts and API-key authentication
packages/post-kit-types/src/*, apps/api/src/auth/*
Defines Principal, authentication types, application scopes, Bearer-token parsing, tenant key-map lookup, opaque principal IDs, scope checks, and tenant-context extraction.
Authentication validation
packages/post-kit-types/src/index.spec.ts, apps/api/src/auth/authenticate.spec.ts
Tests principal shapes, scope constants, credential failures, prototype-chain rejection, non-sensitive errors, scope enforcement, and MCP tool mappings.

REST send integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Send handler authentication
apps/api/src/functions/send.ts
Replaces tenant resolution with Authenticator, requires email:send, derives tenant context from the principal, and handles AuthError.
Send handler tests
apps/api/src/functions/send*.spec.ts
Migrates fixtures to principals and authenticators while retaining coverage for tenant isolation, authorization, idempotency, retries, validation, limits, logging, and provider failures.

MCP integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
MCP authentication and authorization
apps/api/src/mcp/*.ts, apps/api/src/auth/mcp-scopes.ts
Passes principals through MCP authentication and server creation, derives tenant context, enforces per-tool scopes, and uses runTool for validation execution.
MCP tests and documentation
apps/api/src/mcp/*.spec.ts, docs/README.md, docs/guides/mcp.md, docs/architecture/multi-tenant-security.md
Updates MCP fixtures and assertions for principals and scopes. Documents the Slice A authentication flow and remaining token-management limitations.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes a useful summary and test results, but it omits the required closing keyword, setup, human validation steps with expected results, feedback focus, and a separate automated checks section.

Resolution

Add the required template sections. Use a GitHub closing keyword if this PR closes an issue, or state the linked issue without implying closure if it does not. Document setup requirements, validation steps with expected results, review focus, and automated check results.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR implements the shared Principal model, centralized scopes, REST and MCP authentication, tenant context handling, and non-sensitive authorization errors. It does not satisfy the linked issue's requirements for secure hashed key storage, provisioning, revocation, expiry, or the complete credential lifecycle. The PR explicitly defers these requirements to Slice B [#83].

Resolution

Complete and verify the remaining #83 requirements, or link this PR to a Slice A issue whose acceptance criteria match the implemented scope. The remaining work includes hashed API-key storage, provisioning, revocation, expiry, and tests for those behaviors.

Docstring coverage is 28.57% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 28 functions across 20 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Update the obsolete authentication architecture.

The send path now uses ApiKeyAuthenticator and a Principal. It no longer uses ApiKeyTenantResolver as described here. Update this section so the credential-to-tenant flow matches the current implementation.

- Line 127: Move the requireScope call in runTool into its existing try block so
authorization failures follow the tool’s AuthError handling and emit the
expected mcp.tool.failed auth_error log. Add a test verifying the authorization
failure log entry while preserving successful tool execution behavior.

In `@docs/architecture/multi-tenant-security.md`:
- Line 163: Update the principal-audit statement near “revoke land in Slice B”
to clarify that Slice A provides tenant-level auditing only: REST and MCP logs
record tenantId and environment, not the principal.id created by
principalIdFromApiKey().

Move scope checks inside runTool's try so denials emit mcp.tool.failed with
auth_error; document that Slice A logs are tenant-level only.
