Conversation
Re-opening a /connect/server/<token> link said "This link has already been used" and left the user nowhere, and each dead attempt held one of the account's five concurrent-connection slots for a full hour. Five interrupted attempts locked the account out of connecting that server at all. The link is single-use for a reason and that stays: the first load trades the token for a continuation cookie and clears the token's digest in the same write, so a leaked URL is spent the moment it is opened. What was missing is that the cookie is still in the browser that claimed it. The page now falls back to /state when a claim reports the token spent, and resumes if that cookie still resolves to a request. A browser with no cookie gets the same used-link screen as before, because for that browser the link genuinely is gone. Adds `mcpjam cloud projects servers connect-cancel --request <id>`, exposing the cancel the backend, REST route, and SDK client already implemented, and prints it beside connect-status whenever connect hands back a request id. The cancel_project_server_connection operation is a direct agent tool — cancelling stops an authorization nobody completed, so it needs no approval, and an agent that hits ACTIVE_REQUEST_LIMIT can clear the abandoned requests itself.

The continuation cookie has one name, so it always describes the last link this browser claimed rather than the link in the address bar. Asking /state on a spent token therefore answered "your most recent request" — and a browser that claimed link A and then link B would answer a reopened A with B, quietly swapping a different server, and possibly a different project, in behind the URL the user just opened. The claim now records which request each token became, and a resume proceeds only when the cookie names that same request. A mismatch, a token this browser never claimed, and a lapsed record all fall through to the used-link screen, which for those cases is the true answer: the session behind that link is gone. The record is localStorage rather than sessionStorage because reopening a link usually means a new tab, and the cookie it is checked against is per-browser. It holds a token that the successful claim already spent and a request id that is printed in tool output, and it expires on the backend's own one-hour clock.

The catalog's fallback branch annotates every remaining write `idempotentHint: false`, which is right for its usual inhabitants — starting a run or creating a suite twice produces two of them. Cancelling is the opposite shape: the backend treats cancelling an already-terminal request as a no-op that returns the row, so a repeat after a dropped response lands on exactly the state the first call produced. Saying otherwise is not a harmless understatement. `idempotentHint: false` tells a client not to retry, and a cancel whose response was lost then leaves the request holding one of the owner's connection slots — the precise failure the operation exists to clear. Opt-in by name, mirroring NON_IDEMPOTENT_DESTRUCTIVE_NAMES on the branch above: idempotency is a claim about a specific handler, so anything not examined keeps the conservative default.

Failure
ACTIVE_REQUEST_LIMIT now arrives from the backend carrying the caller's own open request ids. Forward them on `details`, exactly as the AMBIGUOUS_SERVER candidates already are and for the same reason: the refusal tells the caller to finish or cancel one, and until now gave them no way to learn which. The CLI renders `details` already, so `connect-cancel` becomes a copy-paste from the refusal it just printed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The ids cross four layers on their way to a user — the Convex error, the v1 route's `details`, the SDK's PlatformApiError, and the CLI's own envelope — and any one of them dropping the field puts the refusal back to being a dead end. The route test covers the first hop; this covers the rest over a real socket, so the guarantee is pinned end to end rather than inferred from reading each layer.

"This link has already been used" is false in the most common way to reach that screen. Getting there means only that this browser could not prove it claimed the link — it says nothing about who did. In practice that is incognito, a second machine, or a chat client whose preview crawler spent the link before the user ever clicked: someone certain they used nothing, reading a page that appears to be lying to them. The heading now claims only what is always true, and the body carries the rule that covers every one of those cases without having to tell them apart: connection links only work in the browser that first opened them.
