mcp -test

The MCP Server Test Repository provides a minimal scaffold intended for validating MCP tooling and integration workflows. It does not implement full gameplay logic, but serves as a lightweight target to exercise the MCP server lifecycle, handshake, and basic data exchange in test environments. To start, use the npx-based command defined in the mcp_config, which attempts to run the test package for MCP server interactions. The server exposes the standard MCP entry points used by clients and other services, allowing you to validate connectivity, event flow, and monitoring hooks in your network without requiring a production dataset.

Once running, you can connect MCP clients against the server address and verify basic operations such as registration, latency measurement, and simple data queries. This repository is best used as a smoke test or CI sanity check to ensure your MCP tooling and deployment pipeline can boot, register services, and gracefully respond to lifecycle events in a controlled test environment.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (LTS version) and npm installed on your machine
• Internet access to fetch the MCP test package via npx

Installation steps:

1. Verify Node.js and npm installation

   node -v
   npm -v
   

2. Run the MCP test server using npx (no global install required)

   npx -y mcp-server-test
   

3. If you prefer to install a local version for development, clone this repository and install dependencies (if any) locally, then run the server entry point as defined in package.json (or the repository's README guidance).

Notes and tips:

• This repository is intended for testing MCP tooling and does not guarantee feature parity with a full production MCP server.
• If the npx command fails due to missing package metadata, you may need to adjust by pinning a test version or using a local development setup.
• Ensure your environment allows network access for npm to fetch the test package when using npx.
• If you encounter handshake or connection issues, verify that the server is bound to the expected host/port and that firewalls are not blocking the MCP endpoints.
• No specific environment variables are required for this test repository by default; configure additional vars only if your testing scenario demands them.
