Mcp Test
Smoke-test that your Claude Code or Cursor MCP wiring works before you depend on a production server.
Overview
io.github.bharath-krishna/mcp-test is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes an echo tool so agents can verify stdio MCP registration end to end.
What is this MCP server?
- Single echo tool returns whatever you send—minimal surface for protocol debugging
- PyPI package mcp-echo-server with stdio transport per MCP server schema 2025-10-17
- Version 0.1.0—intentionally tiny scope for CI and first-time MCP registration
- No API keys or remotes—fastest path to a green tools/list call
- GitHub source at bharath-krishna/mcp-test for forking into custom test harnesses
- Exposes 1 tool (echo)
- Server version 0.1.0
- Single PyPI package with stdio transport
What problem does it solve?
You cannot tell whether MCP is broken in the agent, the transport, or the server when your first real integration fails on startup.
Who is it for?
First-time MCP setup on a solo machine or a CI job that must assert the MCP stack boots.
Skip if: Production features, data pipelines, or teams that already have integration tests against real MCP servers.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent can call echo and get a predictable response, isolating wiring issues before you add API keys and business tools.
- Working stdio MCP session with one callable echo tool
- Baseline proof that tool listing and invocation succeed
- Reference server metadata aligned with MCP server.schema.json 2025-10-17
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
MCP echo servers are installed while you configure agent tooling during the build phase, not during launch or growth. Agent-tooling is the shelf for stdio MCP servers used to validate transport and tool discovery in local dev.
How it compares
MCP protocol smoke test, not a domain API or Claude skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.bharath-krishna/mcp-test for?
Solo builders and integrators who need a zero-dependency MCP server to confirm agent configuration and stdio transport before adding real tools.
When should I use io.github.bharath-krishna/mcp-test?
Use it during initial MCP wiring in the build phase, or in automated checks that only need to prove tools are discoverable and callable.
How do I add io.github.bharath-krishna/mcp-test to my agent?
Install the PyPI package mcp-echo-server, register the server in your agent’s MCP config with stdio transport, and invoke the echo tool from a chat or test script.
