* feat(mcp): map request-scoped secrets to HTTP/SSE headers
`user_auth` binds a credential to a configured DeerFlow user, so a caller
that picks the credential per request — a multi-tenant gateway, a per-run
API key, one shared MCP server fronting several environments — had to
register one MCP server entry per credential.
Add a declarative `mcpServers.<server>.headers_from_context` block mapping
HTTP header names to keys of the run request's `config.context.secrets`
carrier. A new built-in interceptor resolves the mapping on every tool call
and rewrites those headers, mirroring `user_scoped_auth`. The config file
stores names only, never a credential, so the Gateway returns the block
unmasked.
Registered after OAuth and `user_auth` in the interceptor chain: the later
interceptor runs closer to the transport, and the value chosen for this one
request is the most specific, so it wins. Fail-closed by default — a mapped
key missing from the request raises a `ToolException` naming only that key,
because falling back to the server's discovery credential would send one
tenant's call under another tenant's authority. `on_missing: "passthrough"`
opts out.
Durable background tasks are excluded: `McpTaskToolCaller` drives status and
cancel polls after the Agent run ends, where no run context exists, so the
fail-closed interceptor would deny every poll. Those calls keep using
server-level credentials, and a server declaring both `headers_from_context`
and `task_toolsets` now logs a warning.
Also corrects the custom-interceptor example in docs/MCP_SERVER.md (and the
matching claim in skills/AGENTS.md), which read request secrets from
`langgraph.config.get_config()["context"]`. That key is `None` inside a tool
call — the run context rides the LangGraph runtime, not the RunnableConfig
propagated to child runnables — so interceptors written from that example
never saw a value. The example now reads `request.runtime`, and
tests/test_mcp_context_headers.py pins LangGraph's runtime-injection rule by
driving a real langchain-mcp-adapters tool through a real graph with the
ambient-runtime fallback disabled.

* fix(mcp): resolve credential headers case-insensitively, carry them on durable submit
Review follow-ups on `headers_from_context`.
HTTP field names are case-insensitive, but every dict on the path to the wire
is not: `build_server_params` copies the operator's static `headers` spelling
verbatim, and langchain-mcp-adapters merges interceptor overrides into the
connection with a plain `{**connection_headers, **override_headers}` splat. A
static `authorization` and an injected `Authorization` therefore both reached
httpx as separate field lines, and a server reading the field with a
single-value accessor got the static discovery credential — inverting the
documented `headers` < `oauth` < `user_auth` < `headers_from_context`
precedence and running a per-request call under the shared credential.
Normalizing inside the interceptor cannot fix that on its own: the adapter
builds the request with `headers=None`, so an interceptor never sees the
connection's static headers and cannot displace them however it spells its own
key. A new `mcp/headers.py::apply_header_overrides` therefore drops any key
differing only in case and emits the spelling the connection already uses.
Applied to `headers_from_context`, `user_auth`, the OAuth interceptor, the
OAuth discovery-header write, and the durable-task connection merge, which all
carried the same collision. `headers_from_context.headers` now also rejects one
header mapped under two spellings at config load, in both the harness model and
the Gateway mirror.
Durable submit now carries the mapped headers, as docs/MCP_SERVER.md already
promised. `McpTaskToolCaller` disabled the interceptor for the whole caller, but
that caller serves submit as well as the polls, and submit is awaited inline
inside the Agent's tool call — where the run's LangGraph runtime is still the
ambient contextvar, so no secret has to be threaded through `TaskSubmitRequest`
or reach durable storage. The caller builds one chain and keeps a second view of
it without the context-headers interceptor; `call_tool` takes
`request_scoped_headers`, set only by `OrdinaryMcpTaskDriver.submit`. Status and
cancel keep server-level credentials, so background polls still cannot fail
closed, and the startup warning now describes the half it actually covers.
`_merge_preserving_secrets` restores masked extras inside `headers_from_context`
instead of writing the `***` sentinel back over the stored value, matching the
treatment `user_auth` extras and server-level extras already get; extras a PUT
omits carry over as well, while the declared mapping still replaces verbatim so
a round trip can remove an entry. `extra="allow"` plus name-based sensitivity
detection means the usual casualty is a name-valued key such as `tokenHeader`,
not only a credential.
The existing override test seeded the static header onto `request.headers`,
which production never does, so it modelled a merge that really happens one
layer down; the new tests drive a real adapter tool through a real connection
and assert on the headers the session is opened with, and the durable-submit
test runs through a real tool node with no runtime patching.
