Research direction
Start in crates/openshell-providers/src/profiles.rs around the category enum at line 825. Review the existing valid categories and the unsupported-category error, then add the requested MCP category. Done means MCP provider profile categories are accepted without schema or behavioral changes.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Problem Statement
Provider profiles use a category field to classify services. Current valid values: inference, source_control, agent, other, data, messaging, knowledge. There is no mcp category for MCP tool server profiles.
As MCP tool servers become a common integration pattern for agents, MCP-specific profiles need a dedicated category so developers can filter and discover them via openshell provider list-profiles.
Proposed Design
Add mcp to the valid category values in crates/openshell-providers/src/profiles.rs.
This is a one-line addition to the category enum. No schema changes, no behavioral changes.
Agent Investigation
- Category enum parsed in
crates/openshell-providers/src/profiles.rs:825— unknown categories produce"unsupported provider profile category"error McpOptionsProfilestruct exists but isn't used in any built-in profile YAML- MCP L7 protocol (
L7Protocol::Mcp) already recognized by the supervisor relay
