Motivation

MT-23076

The API token endpoints now accept an optional expires_at (createApiToken request body and a new optional resetApiToken body). This exposes it on the create-api-token and reset-api-token tools.

Changes

  • add expires_at (type: ["string", "null"]) to the create-api-token input schema and CreateApiTokenRequest; the description spells out the tri-state for the LLM (omit = server default, null = never expires, 5-year cap)
  • new dedicated resetApiToken input schema – reset previously shared apiTokenSchema with get/delete, which has additionalProperties: false and would reject the new parameter; get/delete keep the shared schema
  • reset-api-token handler forwards { expires_at } to apiTokens.reset(id, body) only when the key is present, so calls without it keep sending no request body
  • document both parameters in the README tool reference

How to test

  • create-api-token with only a name – token created, expiration behavior unchanged (server default applies once rolled out)
  • create-api-token with expires_at: "2027-06-01T00:00:00Z" – created token reports that expiration
  • create-api-token with expires_at: null – created token never expires
  • create-api-token with a past expires_at – tool returns the server's 422 validation error
  • reset-api-token with only api_token_id – works exactly as before (no request body sent)
  • reset-api-token with expires_at: null – new token never expires

Companion PRs

mailtrap is bumped to ^4.10.0, which ships the typed reset(id, params?) from the mailtrap-nodejs companion PR; the local signature cast in src/tools/apiTokens/resetApiToken.ts is gone.

Caveat: release/merge only after falcon deploys MT-23076 and zap_api_token_expiration is enabled in production.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • API tokens can include an optional expiration date when created or reset.
    • Set expires_at to null for tokens that never expire.
    • Expiration dates use ISO 8601 format and supported validation limits.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Reset-token requests apply the correct validation rules and surface expiration errors.
    • Permission updates now correctly process the deletion flag.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on default expiration behavior, non-expiring tokens, date format, and validation limits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

API token creation and reset now accept optional expires_at values. The implementation preserves explicit null, applies dedicated reset-input validation, forwards expiration data to the API, and documents supported expiration rules. Bulk permission updates now preserve boolean destroy flags.

Changes

API token expiration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiration contracts and schemas
src/types/mailtrap.ts, src/tools/apiTokens/schemas/*.ts, README.md
API token request types and schemas now accept optional nullable ISO 8601 expires_at values. The documentation describes default, non-expiring, and validation behavior.
Reset handling and validation
src/tools/apiTokens/resetApiToken.ts, src/tools/apiTokens/index.ts, src/server.ts, src/tools/apiTokens/__tests__/*.test.ts, package.json
resetApiToken forwards provided expiration values, including null. The reset tool uses the dedicated schema. The Mailtrap dependency is updated. Tests cover creation, reset, and server-side validation errors.

Permission destroy flag

Layer / File(s) Summary
Destroy flag forwarding
src/tools/permissions/bulkUpdatePermissions.ts, src/tools/permissions/__tests__/bulkUpdatePermissions.test.ts
bulkUpdatePermissions passes destroy to the SDK as a boolean. The test expects the boolean value.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ec18c

The PR adds optional token expiration support while preserving existing behavior when the field is omitted; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Use an SDK release that supports the reset request body.

mailtrap@4.8.0 implements reset(id) as client.post(url) and ignores the second argument. Therefore, expires_at has no effect. Upgrade to a release that serializes the reset body, then remove the local cast.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the MCP server’s API token tooling to support an optional expires_at field when creating and resetting (rotating) API tokens, aligning the tool schemas/types and documentation with the updated Mailtrap API behavior.

Changes:

  • Expose expires_at?: string | null on the create-api-token and reset-api-token tool input schemas and TypeScript request types.
  • Introduce a dedicated reset-api-token input schema (separate from the shared get/delete schema) and wire it into the server tool registry.
  • Add/extend Jest coverage to verify forwarding behavior for expires_at (string and explicit null) and error surfacing.
