Task #92: Trinity Core — MCP Gateway — COMPLETE

Completed: April 11, 2026

What Happened

Originally planned as an HP laptop running Ubuntu Server with Docker, Discord approval workflows, and complex security layers. Reality was simpler and better:

Implemented as: Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) running Debian 13, single Node.js process, Cloudflare Tunnel, direct bearer token auth.

Superseded By

  • Task #111: Trinity Core Web MCP Connector (Claude.ai native, completed by Chronicler #77)
  • Task #112: Trinity Core Security Hardening (spawn() fix, log rotation, completed by #77/#78)
  • Task #109: MCP Logging in Trinity Console (PostgreSQL audit trail, completed by #78)

Current State (v2.3.0)

  • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB), not HP laptop
  • Architecture: Express + MCP SDK 1.29.0, no Docker
  • Auth: Bearer token via OAuth shim, no Discord approval flow
  • Tunnel: Cloudflare Tunnel → mcp.firefrostgaming.com
  • Targets: 8 servers (7 SSH + 1 local)
  • Logging: PostgreSQL via Arbiter (async), local file backup
  • Security: spawn() with array args, no shell injection
  • Code: firefrost-services/services/trinity-core/

The Snart Doctrine Applied

The plan called for Docker, approval workflows, command classification, restricted sudo. Reality needed a Pi, a token, and SSH. We threw away the plan. It worked.
