Description

My sse / streamable-http MCP server needs to verify SSL. Currently, I need to turn off SSL verification for debugging.
In the config.yaml file, I can configure the following parameters to AI model to turn off SSL verification:

requestOptions:
verifySsl: false

But this configuration does not work in the mcpServers configuration item.

In the current code, only requestOptions.headers is used, BUT ，requestOptions.verifySsl is not used, so even if I configure verifySsl in config.yaml, it is not really used. so I can't turn off verifySsl for my mcp URL

core/context/mcp/MCPConnection.ts

case "streamable-http":
return new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL(options.transport.url),
{
requestInit: { headers: options.transport.requestOptions?.headers },
},
);

Hi — thanks for filing this report. I can reproduce that requestOptions.verifySsl in mcpServers isn't being applied to SSE / streamable-http transports. I can open a small PR to pass the SSL/verification option through to the transport client and add tests and docs. Before I submit the PR, do you have a preference for where to place the option (e.g., transport.requestOptions.verifySsl vs a top-level mcpServers option) and the default behavior (verify = true)? I’ll link the PR here once ready.
