Garry Tan 3e21e9b69b feat: GBrain v0.6.0 — Remote MCP Server + 12 Bug Fixes (#28)
* fix: 7 bug fixes from Issue #9 and #22

- fix(mcp): use ListToolsRequestSchema/CallToolRequestSchema instead of string literals (Issue #9, PR #25)
- fix(mcp): handleToolCall reads dry_run from params instead of hardcoding false (#22 Bug #11)
- fix(search): keyword search returns best chunk per page via DISTINCT ON, not all chunks (#22 Bug #8)
- fix(search): dedup layer 1 keeps top 3 chunks per page instead of collapsing to 1 (#22 Bug #12)
- fix(engine): transaction uses scoped engine via Object.create, no shared state mutation (#22 Bug #2)
- fix(engine): upsertChunks uses UPSERT instead of DELETE+INSERT, preserves existing embeddings (#22 Bug #1)
- fix(slugs): validateSlug normalizes to lowercase, pathToSlug lowercases consistently (#22 Bug #4)
- schema: add unique index on content_chunks(page_id, chunk_index) for UPSERT support
- schema: add access_tokens and mcp_request_log tables via migration

* fix: embed schema.sql at build time, remove fs dependency from initSchema

initSchema() previously read schema.sql from disk at runtime via readFileSync,
which broke in compiled Bun binaries and Deno Edge Functions. Now uses a
generated schema-embedded.ts constant (run `bun run build:schema` to regenerate).

- Removes fs and path imports from postgres-engine.ts and db.ts
- Adds scripts/build-schema.sh for one-source-of-truth generation
- Adds build:schema npm script

Fixes Issue #22 Bug #6.

* fix: 5 more bug fixes from Issue #22

- fix(file_upload): call storage.upload() in all 3 paths (operation, CLI upload, CLI sync) with rollback semantics (#22 Bug #9)
- fix(import): use atomic index counter for parallel queue instead of array.shift() race, preserve checkpoint on errors (#22 Bug #3)
- fix(s3): replace unsigned fetch with @aws-sdk/client-s3 for proper SigV4 auth, supports R2/MinIO via forcePathStyle (#22 Bug #10)
- fix(redirect): verify remote file exists before deleting local copy, skip files not found in storage (#22 Bug #5)
- deps: add @aws-sdk/client-s3

* feat: remote MCP server via Supabase Edge Functions

Deploy GBrain as a serverless remote MCP endpoint on your existing Supabase
instance. One brain, accessible from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cowork,
Perplexity Computer, and any MCP client. Zero new infrastructure.

New files:
- supabase/functions/gbrain-mcp/index.ts — Edge Function with Hono + MCP SDK
- supabase/functions/gbrain-mcp/deno.json — Deno import map
- src/edge-entry.ts — curated bundle entry point (excludes fs-dependent modules)
- src/commands/auth.ts — standalone token management (create/list/revoke/test)
- scripts/deploy-remote.sh — one-script deployment
- .env.production.example — 3-value config template

Changes:
- config.ts: lazy-evaluate CONFIG_DIR (no homedir() at module scope)
- schema.sql: add access_tokens + mcp_request_log tables
- package.json: add build:edge script

Auth: bearer tokens via access_tokens table (SHA-256 hashed, per-client, revocable)
Transport: WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport (stateless, Streamable HTTP)
Health: /health endpoint (unauth: 200/503, auth: postgres/pgvector/openai checks)
Excluded from remote: sync_brain, file_upload (may exceed 60s timeout)

Setup: clone, fill .env.production, run scripts/deploy-remote.sh, create token, done.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)

GBrain v0.6.0: Remote MCP server via Supabase Edge Functions + 12 bug fixes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add Remote MCP Server section to README

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: make document-release mandatory in CLAUDE.md, add MCP key files

Post-ship requirements section: document-release is NOT optional. Lists every
file that must be checked on every ship. A ship without updated docs is incomplete.

Also adds remote MCP server files to Key files section.

* fix: batch upsertChunks into single statement to prevent deadlocks

The per-chunk UPSERT loop caused deadlocks under parallel workers because
each INSERT ON CONFLICT acquired row-level locks sequentially. Multiple
workers upserting different pages could deadlock on the shared unique index.

Fix: batch all chunks into a single multi-row INSERT ON CONFLICT statement.
One round-trip, one lock acquisition. COALESCE preserves existing embeddings
when the new value is NULL.

Fixes CI failure: "E2E: Parallel Import > parallel import with --workers 4"

* fix: advisory lock in initSchema() prevents deadlock on concurrent DDL

When multiple processes call initSchema() concurrently (e.g., test setup +
CLI subprocess, or parallel workers during E2E tests), the schema SQL's
DROP TRIGGER + CREATE TRIGGER statements acquire AccessExclusiveLock on
different tables, causing deadlocks.

Fix: pg_advisory_lock(42) serializes all initSchema() calls within the
same database. The lock is session-scoped and released in a finally block.

* fix: add explicit test timeouts for CLI subprocess E2E tests

CLI subprocess tests (Setup Journey, Doctor Command, Parallel Import)
spawn `bun run src/cli.ts` which takes several seconds to JIT compile +
connect. The Bun test framework default 5000ms per-test timeout is too
tight for CI. Added 30-60s timeouts matching each subprocess's own
timeout to prevent false failures.

* fix: infinite recursion in config.ts exported getConfigDir/getConfigPath

The replace_all refactor created recursive functions: the exported
getConfigDir() called the private getConfigDir() which called itself.
Renamed exports to configDir()/configPath() to avoid shadowing.

Also adds scripts/smoke-test-mcp.ts — verified all 8 MCP tool calls
work against a real Postgres database.

Deploy GBrain Remote MCP Server

Deploy your personal knowledge brain as a serverless MCP endpoint on your existing Supabase instance. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cowork, and Perplexity Computer.

Prerequisites

  • GBrain already set up (gbrain init completed, data imported)
  • Supabase CLI installed
  • Your Supabase project ref (the xxx from https://xxx.supabase.co)

Quick Start

# 1. Fill in your config
cp .env.production.example .env.production
# Edit .env.production with your DATABASE_URL, OPENAI_API_KEY, SUPABASE_PROJECT_REF

# 2. Deploy (one command)
bash scripts/deploy-remote.sh

# 3. Create an access token
DATABASE_URL=$DATABASE_URL bun run src/commands/auth.ts create "my-client"
# Save the token — it's shown once

# 4. Test it
bun run src/commands/auth.ts test \
  https://YOUR_REF.supabase.co/functions/v1/gbrain-mcp/mcp \
  --token YOUR_TOKEN

Authentication

GBrain uses bearer tokens stored in your database (SHA-256 hashed). Each token has a name for identification.

# Create a token
bun run src/commands/auth.ts create "claude-desktop"

# List all tokens
bun run src/commands/auth.ts list

# Revoke a token
bun run src/commands/auth.ts revoke "claude-desktop"

Tokens are per-client. Create one for each device/app. Revoke individually if compromised.

Updating

When you update GBrain (new operations, bug fixes):

git pull
bash scripts/deploy-remote.sh

Your tokens survive upgrades. Check your deployed version:

curl https://YOUR_REF.supabase.co/functions/v1/gbrain-mcp/health

Operations

All 28 GBrain operations are available remotely except:

  • sync_brain (may exceed 60s Edge Function timeout)
  • file_upload (may exceed 60s timeout with large files)

These remain CLI-only via gbrain serve (stdio).

Troubleshooting

"supabase: command not found" Install: brew install supabase/tap/supabase or npm install -g supabase

Edge Function deploys but returns 500 Check that OPENAI_API_KEY is set: supabase secrets list

"missing_auth" error Include the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

"invalid_token" error Run bun run src/commands/auth.ts list to see active tokens. The token may have been revoked or mistyped.

"service_unavailable" error Database connection failed. Check your Supabase dashboard for outages or connection pool limits.

Claude Desktop doesn't connect Remote MCP servers must be added via Settings > Integrations, NOT claude_desktop_config.json. See CLAUDE_DESKTOP.md.

Expected Latencies

Operation Typical Latency Notes
get_page < 100ms Single DB query
list_pages < 200ms DB query with filters
search (keyword) 100-300ms Full-text search
query (hybrid) 1-3s Embedding + vector + keyword + RRF
put_page 100-500ms Write + trigger search_vector update
get_stats < 100ms Aggregate query

Cold start adds ~300-500ms on the first request after idle (Postgres connection setup via pgbouncer).
