Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stackone/mcp-test) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
MCP Testing Agent
Can Claude accurately use your MCP server tools?
Automated testing tool for remote model context protocol (MCP) servers.
Claude Code tries to use all available tools exposed by an MCP server and generates test reports.
The tool automatically discovers available tools from the MCP server using the official MCP client SDK before testing begins.
Features
- Auto-discovery: Automatically discovers and tests all available MCP tools
- AI-powered testing: Uses Claude + faker-js to generate realistic test data and validate responses
- Comprehensive reports: Generates detailed JSON reports with test results
- Clean testing: Attempts to clean up created resources after testing
- Authentication support: Supports custom headers for authenticated endpoints
Prerequisites
Required
- Claude Code CLI must be installed globally:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
- Set your Anthropic API key:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
Or create a .env
file (Bun will load it automatically):
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
Limitations
- Currently only supports HTTP streaming transport
- Requires an Anthropic API key
- Testing is limited to 50 turns to prevent infinite loops
- Large response outputs may be truncated in console logs
Troubleshooting
If you encounter "Claude Code executable not found" errors:
# Set the path to your Claude installation
export CLAUDE_CODE_PATH=$(which claude)
Installation
Quick Start (with npx)
npx @stackone/mcp-test --transport http --url http://localhost:3000/mcp
Global Installation
npm install -g @stackone/mcp-test
mcp-test --transport http --url http://localhost:3000/mcp
From Source
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mcp-connectors.git
cd apps/mcp-test
bun install
bun start --transport http --url http://localhost:3000/mcp
Usage
Test an MCP server running locally:
mcp-test --transport http --url http://localhost:3000/mcp
With Authentication
Include authentication headers:
mcp-test \
--transport http \
--url https://api.example.com/mcp \
--headers '{"Authorization": "Bearer your-token"}'
How It Works
The testing tool follows this process:
- Connect to MCP server: Establishes connection using the MCP client SDK
- Discover tools: Automatically discovers all available tools by calling
listTools()
on the official MCP client SDK - Configure Claude Code: Sets up Claude Code SDK with the discovered tools
- Test each tool: Systematically tests each discovered tool with realistic data
- Generate report: Creates a detailed JSON report with test results
Test Process
For each discovered tool, the tool:
- Generates realistic input data using AI
- Calls the tool with the generated data
- Validates the response
- Documents success/failure status
- Provides improvement suggestions when applicable
- Attempts cleanup of any created resources
Output
Test results are saved to .agent/results_<server>_<timestamp>.json
with the following structure:
{
"timestamp": "2025-01-09T10:30:00.000Z",
"server_url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp",
"tool_count": 2,
"tools_tested": [
{
"name": "search",
"input": {
"query": "python programming tutorial",
"maxResults": 5
},
"expected_output": "list of search results with urls and summaries",
"actual_output": { ... },
"success": true,
"suggestions": "consider adding pagination support"
}
]
}
