mcp-testkit 1.0.2

MCP test server with 65 deterministic tools for protocol testing

MCP Test Server

A Python MCP server with 65 deterministic tools across 8 groups, supporting stdio, HTTP, and REST API transports. Built for consistent, repeatable MCP protocol testing.

Install

pip install mcp-testkit

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/agentspan-ai/mcp-testkit.git
cd mcp-testkit
pip install -e .

Quick Start

# stdio (default)
mcp-testkit

# SSE + REST API on port 3001
mcp-testkit --transport http

# With bearer token authentication
mcp-testkit --transport http --auth super_secret_key

# Custom host/port
mcp-testkit --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Transports

Transport	Command	Endpoints
stdio	mcp-testkit	MCP JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout
HTTP	mcp-testkit --transport http	MCP at /mcp + REST at /api/* + OpenAPI at /api-docs

Authentication

Pass --auth <key> to require a Bearer token on all requests (both MCP SSE and REST):

mcp-testkit --transport http --auth my_secret

# Clients must include:
# Authorization: Bearer my_secret

Tools (65 total)

All tools are deterministic — same input always produces same output. No randomness, no current time, no external state.

REST API

When running with --transport http, all tools are also available as HTTP endpoints:

# GET endpoints (math, conversion, some echo, weather)
curl "http://localhost:3001/api/math/add?a=3&b=5"
# {"result": 8.0}

curl "http://localhost:3001/api/weather?city=NYC"
# {"city":"NYC","temperature_f":77,...}

# POST endpoints (string, collection, encoding, datetime, validation, some echo)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3001/api/string/reverse" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"hello"}'
# {"result": "olleh"}

curl -X POST "http://localhost:3001/api/encoding/sha256" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"hello"}'
# {"result": "2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824"}

OpenAPI spec at GET /api-docs (OpenAPI 3.0.3).

With auth enabled, include Authorization: Bearer <key> on all requests.
