Default WAVE_BASE_URL (wave.online) 404s on /api/v1/*; all 18 tools broken

[yakimoto]

Summary

src/auth.ts:9 defaults WAVE_BASE_URL to https://wave.online, a host that 404s on /api/v1/*. Every one of this package's 18 published tools targets a host that does not serve the API: no scope check, no metering, no x402, no successful call, ever, with default configuration.

Where

src/auth.ts:9 — DEFAULT_BASE_URL = "https://wave.online" (or equivalent constant name; grep WAVE_BASE_URL default in src/auth.ts).

Live receipts

https://wave.online/api/v1/streams          → 404
https://wave.online/settings/api-keys       → 404   (the package's own key-minting error URL, src/auth.ts:17)

The correct API host is https://api.wave.online — confirmed live and serving /v1/* correctly (see the receipts in the sibling wave-gateway issues filed alongside this one).

Affected tools (all 18)

wave_{create,list}_stream(s), wave_{start,stop}_stream, wave_get_stream_{health,metrics}, wave_get_viewers, wave_create_clip, wave_mark_highlight, wave_{create,list}_production(s), wave_control_camera, wave_switch_camera, wave_show_graphic, wave_moderate_chat, wave_start_captions, wave_get_{usage,subscription}.

Proposed fix

• Change the default WAVE_BASE_URL in src/auth.ts:9 to https://api.wave.online.
• Repoint the key-minting error URL (src/auth.ts:17, currently wave.online/settings/api-keys → 404) at console.wave.online/dashboard#keys.

Note

This package is published to npm (@wave-av/mcp-server). A code fix alone does not remediate installed copies — this needs a version bump and republish once merged, and ideally a note in the package README / changelog since every existing install is silently broken.

Fix already shipped: PR #92 (open, not merged) — corrects DEFAULT_BASE_URL to https://api.wave.online, fixes all 18 tool call sites + both resources from /api/v1/* to /v1/*, adds a regression test suite (verified it actually fails against the old broken paths), and updates the key-minting error URL. Filed independently as a duplicate (#91, now closed) by a parallel session the same day before this issue was found — same root cause. This closes E5-MCP-PARITY Phase 1's Done-check once merged + released.
