Details
A JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP endpoint — the **same** server, registry, write gate, confirmation guard, audit trail and spend caps as `/v1/mcp`, reached through a different door. What differs is only the credential: this one accepts the editor's own signed grant, so the editor can be shipped with our MCP server already connected without a customer's hosting jail ever holding an `McpConnection` token. The editor's own MCP client is seeded to point at the session gate on the hosting box; the gate attaches the grant and relays here. One request, one response — a notification (no `id`) answers `202` with no body, and a JSON array is accepted as a batch. **Deliberately narrower than a connection a customer mints themselves.** An MCP token can never out-scope the human who created it, and an editor grant carries that person's name rather than their permissions — so this connection is scoped to what the editor already is: the customer's sites, their control panels and their cache. Opening an editor is not a privilege escalation.
