Sierra Navigator Cloud

Hosted, OAuth-secured MCP server that drives the Sierra Interactive real-estate admin backend over pure HTTP (no browser in the hot path). Wraps the browserless sierra_core client and exposes it to MCP clients (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, …) behind WorkOS OAuth. The MCP layer exposes reads, guarded writes (two-step preview → confirm via one-time, hash-pinned confirm tokens), and identity-locked deletes (echo the stored title back to confirm; content-page deletes are irreversible, with a recovery snapshot to the ledger first). Full page create/edit writes (save_content_page & friends) are a deferred, live-testable follow-up — see NOTES.md.

Canonical home of sierra_core going forward. The local dev tree (Scraper Creator) keeps a copy with a headed-browser login fallback for interactive work; this cloud build is HTTP-login-only and ships in a tiny image.

Layout

sierra_core/   # browserless Sierra HTTP client (errors, parsing, transport,
               # session broker, identity-lock, client) — 49 unit tests
sierra_mcp/    # the FastMCP server (tools, resources, auth, guardrails, audit)
data/          # the 642-endpoint catalogue (js_bundle_endpoints.json + API_ENDPOINTS.md)
tests/         # sierra_core/ (reused) + sierra_mcp/

Configuration (env)

See env.example for a copy-paste template.

The server fails closed: if AUTHKIT_DOMAIN is unset it refuses to start unless SIERRA_MCP_ALLOW_NO_AUTH=1 is also set (auth-disabled local mode, dev only).

Run

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest                                   # sierra_core + sierra_mcp tests
# Launch ONLY via the module entrypoint (the container CMD). It binds SIERRA_MCP_BIND_HOST —
# the SAME value the no-auth gate checks — so the socket can't diverge from the gate. Do NOT
# run `uvicorn sierra_mcp.server:app --host <X>` directly (its --host bypasses that gate).
SIERRA_MCP_BIND_HOST=127.0.0.1 SIERRA_MCP_ALLOW_NO_AUTH=1 python -m sierra_mcp.server   # local no-auth dev, MCP at /mcp

Deploy

Docker container behind the VPS Caddy at sierra.tastyautomations.com → 127.0.0.1:8080. Packaging is here — Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and the step-by-step DEPLOY.md runbook (backup → validate → reload → verify → rollback). CI auto-deploy (.github/workflows/deploy.yml, build → GHCR → ssh) lands in Phase 2c.
