[mcp-stress-test] Stress test blocked - Network restrictions prevent Go module downloads

[github-actions]

The nightly MCP stress test cannot run due to network restrictions in the GitHub Actions environment that prevent downloading Go dependencies.

Issue Summary

• Test Session: stress-test-20260204-030955
• Status: ❌ CRITICAL - Complete test blockage
• Failure Type: Build Environment / Network Configuration

Problem

All attempts to build the awmg gateway binary fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden errors when downloading Go modules:

github.com/stretchr/testify@v1.11.1: Get "(proxy.golang.org/redacted) Forbidden
golang.org/x/term@v0.38.0: Get "(proxy.golang.org/redacted) Forbidden
golang.org/x/oauth2@v0.30.0: Get "(proxy.golang.org/redacted) Forbidden

Attempted workarounds:

• ✗ Standard make build
• ✗ GOPROXY=direct go build
• ✗ go mod download

All fail with 403 Forbidden responses from both proxy.golang.org and direct sources.

Impact

Without the ability to build the gateway, the stress test cannot:

• Start the MCP Gateway server
• Test any of the 20 configured MCP servers
• Generate compatibility reports
• Identify authentication requirements
• Validate gateway stability

This blocks the entire purpose of the nightly stress test workflow.

Recommended Solutions

Option A: Pre-build Binary (Recommended)

Build the binary in a separate job with network access, then pass it to the test job:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: '1.25.0'
      - name: Build gateway
        run: make build
      - name: Upload binary
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: awmg-binary
          path: ./awmg
          retention-days: 1
          
  stress-test:
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: awmg-binary
      - name: Make binary executable
        run: chmod +x ./awmg
      - name: Run stress test
        run: |
          # Test now uses pre-built ./awmg binary
          ./awmg --config /tmp/mcp-stress-test-config.json

Option B: Vendor Dependencies

Commit all Go dependencies to the repository:

go mod vendor
git add vendor/
git commit -m "Add vendored dependencies for offline builds"

Update Makefile to use vendor:

build:
	go build -mod=vendor -o awmg .

Option C: Fix Network Access

Contact GitHub Actions infrastructure team to:

• Allow access to proxy.golang.org
• Allow access to Go module sources (github.com, golang.org)
• Review firewall/proxy rules blocking Go module downloads

Test Configuration

The stress test configuration was successfully prepared with 20 MCP servers before the build failure:

• ✅ Test session: stress-test-20260204-030955
• ✅ Config file: /tmp/mcp-stress-test-config.json
• ✅ API key generated
• ✅ 20 MCP servers configured (github, filesystem, memory, sqlite, postgres, brave-search, fetch, puppeteer, slack, gdrive, google-maps, everart, sequential-thinking, aws-kb-retrieval, linear, sentry, raygun, git, time, axiom)
• ❌ Gateway build failed - blocking all testing

Next Steps

1. Choose and implement one of the solutions above
2. Test that make build succeeds in the workflow environment
3. Re-run the nightly stress test
4. Verify all 20 servers can be tested

Priority

HIGH - This completely blocks the nightly stress test workflow. The workflow cannot provide any value until the build environment is fixed.
