fixes #1137
what was happening
when calling
ask_codebaseover mcp with an explicitlanguageModel(or through/api/chat/blocking), it was failing with a 400 saying the model isn't configured.the issue was that
getLanguageModelKeygenerates${provider}-${model}-${displayName}. since mcp clients often don't passdisplayName(or only send{ provider, model }), the lookup ended up comparing againstundefinedand failed even if the model was inconfig.json.how this fixes previous attempts (#1408, #1414)
i saw the earlier discussion on #1408 where just dropping
displayNamebroke setups having multiple configs for the same model (like different personas / reasoning efforts).to properly handle brendan's feedback from earlier:
displayNameis provided: matches exact(provider, model, displayName).displayNameis omitted:(provider, model): picks it automatically (fixes the mcp bug).(provider, model): throws a clean 400 listing the availabledisplayNames so the caller knows what to pass to disambiguate.(paired with an ai assistant to help write out the tests and verify the edge cases).
tests
selectConfiguredLanguageModel.test.tscovering all branches (single candidate, exact match with display name, multiple candidate disambiguation error, unconfigured model, default fallback) -> 9/9 passedyarn workspace @sourcebot/web test) -> 139 test files passed (1,446 tests)yarn workspace @sourcebot/web lint) -> clean, 0 errorsNote
Low Risk
Scoped to programmatic ask model resolution and validation errors; behavior is well covered by new unit tests with no auth or data-model changes.
Overview
Fixes MCP
ask_codebase(and the blocking ask path that sharesaskCodebase) returning 400 “model not configured” when callers passlanguageModelwith onlyproviderandmodel, because the oldgetLanguageModelKeymatch requireddisplayNameto line up.selectConfiguredLanguageModelcentralizes selection: default to the first configured model when none is requested; withdisplayName, require an exact triple match; without it, auto-pick when a single config matchesprovider/model, or return a 400 that lists availabledisplayNamevalues when several configs share the same model.askCodebase.tsnow uses this helper instead of inline lookup. Unit tests cover the branches; CHANGELOG records the fix.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit ab22410. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
Summary by cubic
Previously, MCP
ask_codebaserejected a configured language model whendisplayNamewas omitted. Fixes #1137 by matching uniquely on provider and model, returning a 400 with available names when configurations are ambiguous, and preserving the first-model fallback when no model is requested.Bug Fixes
provider/model/displayNamematches remain supported.Written for commit ab22410. Summary will update on new commits.
