When T3_MCP_STDIO_WRAPPER is set, providers that can launch a stdio MCP server run that command and receive the per-session endpoint and authorization in the environment. An invalid setting refuses the session. Pi, which has no stdio MCP client, refuses instead of connecting over HTTP.
The Claude SDK passes mcpServers to the CLI as a --mcp-config argument. With the stdio wrapper configured, the t3-code entry now carries ${VAR} references and the values are set in the CLI environment, which the CLI expands.
With the stdio wrapper, the Claude MCP config names the variables instead of carrying values, so a rotated endpoint or token left the reuse key unchanged. The key now includes a hash of the wrapper environment. Docs state that the option routes traffic and is not an isolation boundary, and that changing it needs a restart.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winDo not advertise ACP MCP for the configured wrapper.
When an agent advertises
mcpCapabilities.acp,AcpSessionRuntimeselectsacpServersinstead of the configured stdio server. This branch supplies an ACP descriptor, but the wrapper provides no endpoint or authorization, so no ACP bridge or MCP handlers are created. The wrapper is discarded and T3 MCP tools are unavailable for that session.ACP MCP support is optional. The evidence supports this as a conditional minor issue, not a major failure of every ACP wrapper session.

With the stdio wrapper configured, ACP sessions still advertised the ACP-native t3-code descriptor. Agents that support ACP MCP preferred it, but its in-process bridge has no credential in wrapper mode, so those sessions got no t3-code tools. The wrapper branch now advertises no ACP-native server.

What changed
Operators can set
T3_MCP_STDIO_WRAPPERto an absolute command, plus optional fixed arguments, and T3 launches that program as thet3-codeMCP server for each provider session. The per-session endpoint and authorization value reach the wrapper asT3_MCP_URLandT3_MCP_AUTHORIZATIONin its environment, never in argv. Unset, every provider's configuration is unchanged. This routes traffic through a process the operator runs so it can be logged or inspected; it doesn't isolate the agent, which still runs as the same user as the provider and can reach the endpoint directly. The docs say so.Problem
T3 writes the per-session
t3-codeendpoint and bearer token straight into each provider's MCP config. Anyone who has to send that traffic through a process they run (an audit log, a gateway, a security proxy) can't do it from configuration, because only T3 knows the token. Tool results from this server carry page content, which is where prompt injection shows up, so it's the traffic people most want to inspect.For context, I maintain an open-source proxy that inspects agent tool traffic, and I've been running this change in front of it on several machines. Nothing here is specific to it; any stdio program that reads the two variables works.
Change
mcpServersto the CLI as a--mcp-configargument, so the config carries${T3_MCP_URL}and${T3_MCP_AUTHORIZATION}and the values sit in the CLI's environment, which the CLI expands. Live-query reuse hashes those values, so a rotated token still replaces the Claude process. ACP stops giving the credential to its HTTP bridge and terminal fallback while the wrapper is set.Scope and approval
This is a configuration option on the existing
t3-codeMCP injection. It adds no tools, changes no defaults and leaves an unset server byte-for-byte the same. No prior discussion is linked; it's offered as a focused option for an established capability. Whether this is the mechanism you want is your call. Happy to rename the variable or move this to server settings if you'd prefer.Verification
Wrapper, adapter and Pi tests plus the full Claude, Codex, OpenCode 2 and ACP adapter suites pass, and the server typechecks. Disabling each new guard (absolute path, missing file, execute permission, unmatched quote, Pi refusal, the Claude
${VAR}references and the rotation hash) made its test fail. I confirmed against a realclaudeCLI that${VAR}in--mcp-configreaches a stdio server's environment. I didn't run a full provider session through a live wrapper.
