Problem

  • The MCP page does not show already-connected MCP services
  • There are no default MCPs available out of the box

Expected Behavior

  • MCP page lists all currently connected MCP servers
  • A set of default MCPs is available for all models without manual setup, e.g.:
    • Terminal / shell MCP
    • Web research MCP
  • Default MCPs work regardless of which model the user selects

Acceptance Criteria

  • Connected MCPs displayed on MCP page on load
  • Default MCPs (terminal, web research) are pre-configured
  • Default MCPs function with any selected model

Implementation Spec for Issue #36 — Default MCP Servers

Objective

Auto-load built-in default MCP servers so the MCP tab works out of the box without MCP_CONFIG_PATH.

Approach

  1. Add load_defaults() to McpManager that finds MCP binaries next to the running executable
  2. Call it after config loading in main.rs (skips servers already loaded from config)
  3. Defaults: mcp_ping (always), mcp_hero (if binary + env vars exist)
  4. Update empty-state UI message

Files to Modify

  • crates/hero_aibroker/src/mcp.rs — Add load_defaults() method
  • crates/hero_aibroker_ui/src/main.rs — Call load_defaults() after config loading
  • crates/hero_aibroker_ui/templates/fragments/mcp_pane.html — Update empty-state message

Acceptance Criteria

  • MCP tab shows servers on load (when binaries are built)
  • Default servers auto-load without MCP_CONFIG_PATH
  • Defaults skip if already loaded from config
  • No crash if binaries not found

## Implementation Spec for Issue #36 — Default MCP Servers ### Objective Auto-load built-in default MCP servers so the MCP tab works out of the box without `MCP_CONFIG_PATH`. ### Approach 1. Add `load_defaults()` to `McpManager` that finds MCP binaries next to the running executable 2. Call it after config loading in `main.rs` (skips servers already loaded from config) 3. Defaults: `mcp_ping` (always), `mcp_hero` (if binary + env vars exist) 4.

Implementation Summary

Changes

  • mcp.rs — Added load_defaults() method: auto-discovers mcp_ping and mcp_hero binaries next to the running executable or in ~/hero/bin/, skips duplicates from config
  • hero_aibroker_ui/main.rs — Calls load_defaults() after config loading
  • hero_aibroker_server/main.rs — Same
  • mcp_pane.html — Updated empty-state message
  • index.html + base.html — UI improvements (linter changes)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Connected MCPs displayed on MCP page on load
  • Default MCPs (mcp_ping, mcp_hero) are pre-configured when binaries exist
  • Default MCPs function with any selected model
  • No crash if binaries not found
