SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide clear patterns and guidance for testing Turul MCP components across unit, end-to-end (E2E), and compliance contexts to ensure robust quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines unit test patterns using #[tokio::test] and direct tool invocation via the framework's call() API.
  • Documents E2E testing architecture with McpTestClient and TestServerManager for realistic HTTP and lifecycle validation.
  • Outlines compliance testing guidance with cargo test --test compliance and structured test organization to verify MCP protocol conformance.

Quick Start

Write a unit test with #[tokio::test], then scale to an E2E test using McpTestClient and TestServerManager.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write unit tests for MCP tools using tokio?

Write unit tests for MCP tools using #[tokio::test] and direct tool invocation via the framework's call() API. This pattern ensures isolated, asynchronous testing of individual tool logic before scaling to broader integration checks.

What is the best way to structure end-to-end testing for MCP servers?

Structure E2E testing for MCP servers using McpTestClient and TestServerManager to perform realistic HTTP and lifecycle validation. This architecture ensures predictable compliance outcomes and reliable verification across server workflows.

How does compliance testing work for MCP protocol conformance?

Compliance testing for MCP protocol conformance works by running cargo test --test compliance with structured test organization. It verifies that tools and server workflows adhere to the formal protocol standards required by the Turul MCP Framework.

Do I need cargo to run compliance tests for the Turul MCP Framework?

Yes, you need cargo to run compliance tests for the Turul MCP Framework. The testing patterns specify using the cargo test --test compliance command to validate MCP protocol conformance and ensure structured test organization.

Why do my E2E MCP tests fail during server lifecycle validation?

E2E MCP tests fail during server lifecycle validation when not properly utilizing TestServerManager for realistic HTTP checks. Applying consistent testing patterns with McpTestClient ensures reliable server lifecycle behavior and predictable compliance outcomes.
