SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of writing comprehensive tests for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, ensuring code quality, reliability, and adherence to performance and security standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit & Integration Testing: Write effective tests for MCP tools, resources, and prompts.
  • API Mocking: Simulate external API responses for reliable testing.
  • Coverage & Validation: Achieve high code coverage and validate data schemas.
  • Use Case: When developing a new MCP tool to fetch parliamentary data, use this Skill's patterns to write tests that mock the API, validate inputs and outputs, and ensure 80%+ code coverage.

Quick Start

Use the testing-mcp-tools skill to write a unit test for the search_meps tool.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write integration tests for MCP tools?

Integration tests for MCP tools validate tools, resources, and prompts by simulating external API responses and asserting correct execution. This Skill provides patterns to structure these tests for reliable protocol interactions.

What is the best way to mock APIs when testing MCP resources?

Mocking APIs when testing MCP resources involves simulating external responses to ensure reliable and deterministic tests. This Skill offers patterns to stub network requests and validate tool inputs and outputs without live dependencies.

Does vitest work for testing Model Context Protocol error handling?

Vitest works for testing Model Context Protocol error handling by allowing you to define test cases that trigger exceptions and validate error responses. This Skill provides scenarios to ensure robust error handling coverage.

How do I validate data schemas in MCP integration tests?

Validating data schemas in MCP integration tests ensures that inputs and outputs conform to expected structures. This Skill provides best practices for schema validation to catch data format errors during tool execution.

Why does my MCP testing not reach 80% code coverage?

MCP testing may not reach 80% code coverage if error handling scenarios and edge cases are untested. This Skill provides patterns to identify gaps and write comprehensive tests targeting uncovered execution paths.

Can I test MCP prompts using unit testing patterns?

You can test MCP prompts using unit testing patterns by isolating prompt execution and validating outputs against expected schema structures. This Skill outlines methods to achieve high code coverage for prompt logic.
