feat: add PLANE_SSL_VERIFY passthrough to PlaneClient - #212
Conversation
Threads TLS verification through to the SDK's PlaneClient(verify=...), added in plane-sdk's own ssl-verify branch. PLANE_SSL_VERIFY unset keeps the default (verify=True); false/0/no disables verification entirely and logs a warning on every client construction; a path to an existing file is treated as a CA bundle. Depends on the SDK's verify option (not yet released) — for now this needs the plane-python-sdk ssl-verify fork installed instead of the pinned plane-sdk==0.2.20 from PyPI.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Client creation will fail until the compatible plane-sdk release is pinned and the lockfile is updated, so this PR is not ready to merge or release. After that blocker is fixed, a directory supplied through PLANE_SSL_VERIFY could still be forwarded as a CA bundle instead of falling back safely. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Accept only regular files as CA bundles.
os.path.exists(raw) also returns True for directories. A directory is forwarded as verify although the documented contract accepts only an existing file. Use os.path.isfile(raw) so a directory uses the safe True fallback.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🌐 Web query:
plane-sdk 0.2.23 PlaneClient verify constructor parameter
💡 Result:
In the plane-sdk (Python) version 0.2.23, the PlaneClient constructor initializes the client and handles authentication configuration [1][2]. The constructor method signature is as follows [2]: def init( self, *, base_url: str, api_key: str | None = None, access_token: str | None = None,) -> None: Key behavioral requirements for these parameters include: 1. Authentication Mutual Exclusivity: You must provide exactly one of either api_key or access_token [1][3]. Providing both, or failing to provide either, will raise a ConfigurationError [1][4]. 2. base_url: This is a required parameter [1]. You should provide the base URL of your Plane instance; do not include the /api/v1 suffix in this string, as the SDK appends it automatically [1][3]. 3. Additional Configuration: While not part of the primary positional arguments, the constructor also supports optional keyword arguments for timeout (default 30.0 seconds) and retry (RetryConfig) to further customize client behavior [1][3]. When initializing the client, these parameters are passed to an internal Configuration object [2]. The SDK ensures that these settings are validated during initialization [4].

Update the plane-sdk dependency before passing verify.
The published plane-sdk==0.2.23 PlaneClient constructor does not accept verify. Both authentication branches therefore raise TypeError during client construction. Pin a release that supports verify and regenerate uv.lock; the current lock resolves plane-sdk from an absolute local path.

Summary
Threads TLS verification through to
plane-sdk'sPlaneClient(verify=...), added in makeplane/plane-python-sdk#69 (this PR depends on that one — it needs aplane-sdkrelease containingverifybefore it can be merged/released, since the MCP server doesn't make HTTP calls itself, it constructs aPlaneClient).New environment variable,
PLANE_SSL_VERIFY:verify=True, unchanged behavior.false/0/no(case-insensitive) — disables TLS verification entirely. Logs a warning on every client construction, not just once, since this removes protection against a man-in-the-middle and exposes the API key to anyone on the network path.verify=Truerather than silently misparsing.Motivating case: a self-hosted Plane instance behind an ingress presenting a wildcard cert that doesn't cover the actual hostname (
plane.team.company.comvs.*.company.com) — a hostname-mismatch failure, which none of the existing knobs (REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE,SSL_CERT_FILE) fix, since those only change the trust anchor, not hostname checking. Related: makeplane/plane#5581 is the same class of problem (self-signed cert on a self-hosted OAuth provider) from a different code path — no self-hosted deployment in this ecosystem currently has any way to configure TLS trust.Test plan
tests/test_client_ssl_verify.py: default true, all falsy spellings disable verification, an existing file path passes through verbatim, a nonexistent path falls back toTrue, empty string treated as unset.1195 passed, 27 skipped(skips are the live-network integration tests, unaffected by this change).ruff checkclean.PLANE_SSL_VERIFY=false,get_plane_client_context()→client.users.get_me()succeeds and returns the real user id, where it previously failed withSSLCertVerificationError: Hostname mismatch.Depends on
