The legacy docs/ folder still referenced noreply@stackframe.co for the
shared email provider — flip to match the new sender domain set up
on Resend as the dedicated transactional-sender domain. Aligns with
the dashboard + docs-mintlify references that were already flipped.
Source rename across the monorepo. Every publishable package now ships
under its @hexclave/* name natively, no rewrite-at-publish indirection.
Workflow + tooling:
- Delete scripts/rewrite-packages-to-hexclave.ts (one-shot mirror).
- Remove the mirror-publish block from .github/workflows/npm-publish.yaml.
The remaining `pnpm publish -r` step publishes @hexclave/* natively.
- Flip the auto-bump changeset target from @stackframe/stack to
@hexclave/next so 'Update package versions on dev' keeps working.
- Delete packages/template/src/internal/deprecation-warning.ts and its
imports — @hexclave/* never warns about itself, and after PR 3 no
@stackframe/* artifact is ever built from source again.
Package renames (publishable):
@stackframe/react → @hexclave/react
@stackframe/stack → @hexclave/next
@stackframe/js → @hexclave/js
@stackframe/stack-shared → @hexclave/shared
@stackframe/stack-ui → @hexclave/ui
@stackframe/stack-sc → @hexclave/sc
@stackframe/stack-cli → @hexclave/cli
@stackframe/tanstack-start → @hexclave/tanstack-start
@stackframe/dashboard-ui-components → @hexclave/dashboard-ui-components
Internal monorepo packages (private, never published) also renamed for
brand consistency: backend, dashboard, docs, mcp, skills, e2e-tests,
example apps, the swift-sdk, the monorepo root, etc. Cost is mechanical;
payoff is no stray @stackframe/* names left under apps/, examples/, sdks/.
Carve-outs intentionally kept under their legacy names:
- @stackframe/emails — virtual module imported by customer-stored email
templates; the renderer in apps/backend/src/lib/email-rendering.tsx
dual-aliases both names to the same backing module indefinitely.
- @stackframe/template — internal codegen source, never published; per
docs-mintlify/migration.mdx 'internal packages keep names'.
- @stackframe/init-stack — deprecated; now marked private: true so the
last published version on npm continues to serve old install commands
but the workspace stops publishing it.
Backward-compat detection (so projects still on the last @stackframe/*
release keep working):
- packages/stack-shared/src/config-rendering.ts — CONFIG_IMPORT_PACKAGES
table includes both @hexclave/* (canonical, first match wins) and
legacy @stackframe/* names. Function renamed
detectStackframeImportPackage → detectConfigImportPackage.
- apps/dashboard/src/lib/github-config-push.ts — import detection regex
now matches both @hexclave/<name> and @stackframe/<name>, hexclave
preferred.
Versions: every renamed package reset to 1.0.0 in source. The repo's
existing 'bump versions before merging to main' flow will move them to
1.0.1 on the first publish run, so the dual-publish 1.0.0 from PR 2 is
not overwritten.
Other touch-ups discovered during sweep:
- Root package.json: 'fern' script filter was @stackframe/docs (legacy
typo, never resolved) → @hexclave/docs.
- README.md contributor note: @stackframe/XYZ → @hexclave/XYZ.
- packages/stack-cli/package.json: register `hexclave` bin alongside
the legacy `stack` bin so `npx @hexclave/cli init` works on the
natively-published artifact (PR 1481's rewrite script did this at
publish time; now it's in source).
- packages/template/package-template.json: per-platform names + version
flipped to hexclave + 1.0.0 to stay in sync with generated package.json.
- docs/package.json (legacy fumadocs folder, otherwise carved out of the
brand sweep): workspace deps and name updated minimally so `pnpm
install` resolves — content (MDX) intentionally untouched per the
PR 2 scoping decision.
Carve-out files (skipped entirely by the sweep, intentional history):
- docs-mintlify/migration.mdx — teaches the rename, references both.
- RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md — planning doc, references both indefinitely.
- legacy docs/ folder — content untouched per PR 2 carve-out.
generate-sdks regenerated packages/{react,stack,js} from template.
pnpm-lock.yaml regenerated. Typecheck green on stack-shared, stack, js,
react. Dashboard typecheck has pre-existing 'X is of type unknown'
errors that need to be investigated separately (likely a local
node_modules build state issue, not source).

## Summary
**Stacked on #1468** (`docs/hexclave-rename-plan` — the plan doc). Diff
vs that base = the actual PR 1 code.
This is **PR 1 of the Hexclave rebrand: the invisible compatibility
layer**. Everything is additive. Old SDKs, old wire identifiers, and old
env var names keep working unchanged. The backend dual-accepts and
dual-emits; new SDK code emits `x-hexclave-*` headers and the
`hexclave_` Bearer prefix; cookies dual-write; env vars dual-read across
every category. **No user-visible rebranding lands here** — that's PR 2.
See [`RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md`](./RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md) → *"PR 1
implementation guide"* for the full per-work-area spec, file pointers,
and chosen approach.
## What's implemented (all 14 PR-1 work-areas)
- **SDK export aliases** — `Hexclave*` aliases for the user-facing
`Stack*` exports added in `packages/template`; codegen propagates them
to `@stackframe/{js,stack,react,tanstack-start}`. React-only aliases
correctly excluded from `@stackframe/js`. (`e60550a2`)
- **JWT issuer dual-accept** — `decodeAccessToken` accepts both
`api.stack-auth.com` and `api.hexclave.com` issuers. Signing unchanged.
(`fc781def`)
- **Request-header dual-accept** — backend + dashboard proxies normalize
`x-hexclave-*` → `x-stack-*` at the existing empty proxy hook (so
`smart-request.tsx` and every route schema keep working unchanged); CORS
allowlists extended via a derive-once helper. (`2a056eac`)
- **MCP `ask_hexclave`** — registered alongside `ask_stack_auth` via a
shared helper; `ask_stack_auth` behavior byte-identical. (`30ffd604`)
- **Dev-tool** — DOM ids + header emit switched.
`window.HexclaveDevTool` exposed alongside `window.StackDevTool`.
(`32131ea7`)
- **The big consolidated commit** (`7fed864a`):
- **Env vars** — central `getEnvVariable` prefix-transform (HEXCLAVE
first, STACK fallback); dashboard + template client env files dual-read;
`turbo.json` globalEnv; `NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX` renamed outright
across ~82 files including docker.
- **Cookies** — dual-write/dual-read auth (`stack-access`/`-refresh-*`
and custom-domain variants), OAuth-state
(`stack-oauth-{inner,outer}-*`), and low-risk cookies (`stack-is-https`,
`stack-last-seen-changelog-version`). Bypass sites patched (backend
OAuth callback, dashboard remote-dev auth route, impersonation snippets,
snapshot serializer).
- **Bearer prefix** — SDK token parser accepts both `stackauth_` and
`hexclave_`; emits `hexclave_`. Discovery correction: this is purely
SDK-internal — the backend never parses it.
- **Response headers** — backend dual-emits
`x-hexclave-{request-id,actual-status,known-error}`; SDKs dual-read (new
first, stack fallback).
- **SDK request-header emit switch** —
`client/server/admin-interface.ts` + dashboard `api-headers.ts` +
`internal-project-headers.ts` + `feedback-form.tsx` switched to
`x-hexclave-*`. Plus `stack_response_mode` query param.
- **Storage keys** — dev-tool / cli-auth / oauth-button / docs keys
renamed (straight); `stack:session-replay:v1` dual-read so in-progress
recordings survive SDK upgrades; `stack_mfa_attempt_code` dual-read.
- **Query params** — cross-domain params dual-emit/dual-accept via
shared helpers; backend `oauth/authorize` accepts
`hexclave_response_mode` and `stack_response_mode`; `stack-init-id`
renamed.
- **`Symbol.for`** — app-internals symbol gets a parallel
`Symbol.for("Hexclave--app-internals")` getter on each attach site (no
read-site churn — old symbol still attached). 3 file-private symbols
renamed outright.
- **Config discovery** — prefer `hexclave.config.ts`, fall back to
`stack.config.ts` at every discovery site (CLI / dashboard / backend /
local-emulator); `init` writes the new filename; CLI credentials path
migrates.
- **Internal renames** — `StackAssertionError`,
`StackClient/Server/AdminInterface` renamed outright (no alias, per the
"internal-only → rename" rule). ~264 files touched.
- **Review-pass fixes** (`21217fbe`) — three real bugs found by parallel
review agents and fixed:
- `snapshot-serializer.ts` was interpolating the whole
`keyedCookieNamePrefixes` array (`${arr}`) — adding a second prefix
would have corrupted **every** OAuth-cookie snapshot, not just new ones.
- **Docker port-prefix producer/consumer mismatch** —
`entrypoint.sh`/`run-emulator.sh`/cloud-init `user-data` were still
producing `NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX` while the dashboard sentinel +
consumers had been renamed; silent self-host regression (custom port
prefix would be ignored).
- **Missing `hexclave-oauth-inner-*` dual-write** in the OAuth authorize
route — callback's fallback masked it but the dual-write was specified
by the plan.
- Plus: `mcp.test.ts` tool-list assertions updated to include
`ask_hexclave`; two dashboard header-emit sites switched to
`x-hexclave-*` for consistency.
- **E2E snapshot serializer follow-up** (`4b16cc5d`) —
`x-hexclave-request-id` added to the hidden-headers list (mirroring
`x-stack-request-id` treatment), and 2 sample inline snapshots
regenerated in `projects.test.ts` to include the new dual-emitted
headers.
## Verification
- **`pnpm typecheck`** — clean (the fresh-worktree `@/.source` / Prisma
codegen gap in `stack-docs` is pre-existing and unrelated).
- **`pnpm lint`** — 29/29 packages green.
- **`pnpm exec turbo run build --filter=./packages/*`** — 13/13 packages
build (including `@stackframe/stack-cli` once the dashboard standalone
is present).
- **Live E2E** against a running backend on `cl/hexclave-pr1`:
- `pnpm test run
apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/mcp.test.ts` — **6/6
pass** (verifies the new `ask_hexclave` tool — the hand-written inline
snapshot matched actual MCP server output).
- `pnpm test run
apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/projects.test.ts` —
**11/11 pass** (verifies wire dual-accept + dual-emit end-to-end; the
snapshot serializer fix was found and applied during this check).
A four-agent parallel **review pass** also audited the full diff for
logic/runtime bugs across the work-areas (wire headers + JWT, cookies +
bearer + symbols, env vars, query params + config + MCP + aliases). All
in-slice review verdicts were ✓ except the three bugs listed above,
which are now fixed.
## Known follow-ups (out of scope for this PR)
- **E2E snapshots across the rest of the suite** — backend now
dual-emits `x-hexclave-{known-error,actual-status}` alongside
`x-stack-*`, which legitimately appears in inline snapshots throughout
`apps/e2e`. Two were regenerated here as a sample; the rest should regen
with `vitest -u` in CI.
- **Docker shell env vars beyond `PORT_PREFIX`** — `entrypoint.sh` still
reads `STACK_*` env vars directly (the JS-side `getEnvVariable`
transform doesn't help the shell). JS consumers dual-read so it works in
practice; full shell-level dual-read is a deeper self-host follow-up.
- **`@stackframe/stack-cli` build ordering** — pre-existing; needs
`build:rde-standalone` first. Not affected by this PR.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI runs full e2e suite (with `vitest -u` to absorb dual-emit
snapshot deltas, then committed back)
- [ ] Spot-check: an old SDK build (emitting only `x-stack-*`) still
authenticates against the new backend
- [ ] Spot-check: a new SDK (emitting `x-hexclave-*` / `Bearer
hexclave_*`) still authenticates against an old backend during deploy
ordering
- [ ] Manual: `npx @stackframe/stack-cli@latest init` (new onboarding
entrypoint) generates `hexclave.config.ts`
- [ ] Manual: existing `stack.config.ts`-only project still resolves (no
migration required)

## Summary
- Adds the generated `@stackframe/tanstack-start` workspace package
registration.
- Adds TanStack Start platform macros/dependencies to the SDK template
and generator.
- Adds TanStack Start cookie/token-store support plus the handler SSR
guard needed by Start.
## Scope
This intentionally excludes Dashboard V2 routes, hooks, components, app
shell logic, and dashboard API type additions. Those stay in the
existing dashboard PR/branch.
## Validation
- `pnpm install --lockfile-only --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm install --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm -C packages/template lint
src/components-page/stack-handler-client.tsx src/lib/cookie.ts
src/lib/stack-app/apps/implementations/client-app-impl.ts`
Package typecheck was attempted with `pnpm -C packages/template
typecheck`, but the clean worktree lacks generated package declaration
outputs for workspace dependencies such as `@stackframe/stack-shared`
and `@stackframe/stack-ui`. Per repo instructions, package
builds/codegen are not run by agents.

## Summary
Splits the Stack Auth MCP server out of `apps/backend` and into a
dedicated Next.js app at `apps/mcp/`, served on port `:42` (suffixed via
`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX`) and exposed in production at
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp`. The backend no longer carries the MCP
transport route; clients now point at the new host.
Base: `dev` → Head: `chore/move-mcp-to-a-sep-app`
Scope: 34 files, +1425 / −353
## What changed
- **New app** `apps/mcp/` — standalone Next.js + `@vercel/mcp-adapter`,
with:
- `src/app/api/internal/[transport]/route.ts` — MCP transport handler
(moved from backend)
- `src/app/mcp/route.ts`, `src/app/route.ts` — public landing + setup
page
- `src/app/health/route.ts` — health check
- `src/mcp-handler.ts`, `src/setup-page.ts`, `src/analytics.ts`
- **Backend** drops
`apps/backend/src/app/api/internal/[transport]/route.ts` (−105) — MCP
code is gone from the backend image.
- **Dashboard** install hint updated to point at
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp` (was `/`).
- **Dev launchpad** gets an MCP tile so the new service shows up
alongside the rest of the local stack.
- **CI** workflows (`db-migration-backwards-compatibility`,
`e2e-api-tests*`) start the MCP service in the background before running
tests.
- **Docs** (`docs-mintlify`, `docs/`) and `init-stack` / `init-prompt`
updated to reference the new URL.
- **E2E** `apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/mcp.test.ts`
reworked to hit the new host; `helpers.ts` and env files gain an MCP
base-URL var.
## Visuals
### New `apps/mcp` setup page (`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/`)
The standalone app's root now serves a self-contained MCP setup guide
with per-client instructions (Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Claude Code,
Claude Desktop, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI):
### Dev launchpad now lists the MCP service
New tile at port suffix `:42`, importance 2, alongside Backend /
Dashboard / Demo app:
## Notes for reviewers
- The MCP transport endpoint moved path: it was mounted under
`/api/internal/[transport]` in the backend; in the new app it's at the
same path but on the dedicated host. The public-facing URL is
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp`.
- `apps/mcp` ships its own PostHog analytics client (`src/analytics.ts`)
so the backend doesn't have to proxy events for it anymore.
- Port allocation: `${PORT_PREFIX}42` (default `8142` in dev). Picked to
fit the existing dev-launchpad importance-2 row.
- No DB migrations.
## Test plan
- [x] `apps/mcp` builds and `pnpm dev` serves on `:8142`
- [x] Dev launchpad renders the new MCP tile (screenshot above)
- [x] MCP setup page renders client tabs (screenshot above)
- [x] E2E `mcp.test.ts` updated to hit the new host
- [ ] CI green on `e2e-api-tests*` and
`db-migration-backwards-compatibility` workflows (they were touched to
start the MCP service)
- [ ] `init-stack` / `mcp.ts` install flow lands users on the new URL

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Standalone MCP app added with a public /mcp endpoint and health check.
* MCP appears in the dev-launchpad apps list.
* **Documentation**
* MCP endpoint updated to https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp in all setup
guides and installer snippets.
* Setup page enhanced with detailed client install tabs and
instructions.
* **Chores**
* MCP service integrated into CI/e2e workflows and local env configs.

## Summary
- Move the `/api/internal/[transport]` MCP route from the docs app to
the backend, so the public `ask_stack_auth` MCP tool is served from the
same origin as the AI query API it proxies to.
- Replace the bespoke docs-tools HTTP client in
`apps/backend/src/lib/ai/tools/docs.ts` with an `@ai-sdk/mcp` client
that talks to Mintlify's generated MCP server. The backend AI agent now
consumes Mintlify's lower-level search/fetch tools directly instead of
going through the docs app.
- Swap `STACK_DOCS_INTERNAL_BASE_URL` for `STACK_MINTLIFY_MCP_URL`
(defaults to the Mintlify-hosted MCP URL).
- Move the `@vercel/mcp-adapter` dependency from `docs` to
`apps/backend`.
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm typecheck`
- [ ] `pnpm lint`
- [ ] e2e: new
`apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/mcp.test.ts` covers
`tools/list` and validation on `tools/call`
- [ ] Manual: hit `POST /api/internal/mcp` on the backend and confirm
`ask_stack_auth` is listed and callable
- [ ] Manual: confirm backend AI agent docs tools resolve via the
Mintlify MCP URL
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
