mcp-assert

Active·★ 26·MIT·Updated 2026-10-21

mcp-assert is a powerful tool designed to test MCP (Multi-Agent Communication Protocol) servers against the real protocol, eliminating the need for mocks or language-specific dependencies. It validates server responses against YAML-defined expectations, ensuring compatibility with all MCP clients.

Features

01Protocol-level testing without mocks: Connects to servers using real stdio/SSE/HTTP transport and full MCP handshake.
02YAML-driven assertions: Define expectations in YAML for deterministic output validation.
03Language and framework agnostic: Tests any MCP server regardless of its implementation language and integrates with various test runners (Vitest, pytest, etc.).
04Comprehensive audit and fuzzing: Automatically scans servers, classifies tool health, and throws adversarial inputs to find crashes.

Use cases

↳Validate MCP server compliance: Ensure your MCP server works with every MCP client by testing against the real protocol.
↳Integrate into CI/CD pipelines: Automate testing with GitHub Actions, regression detection, and JUnit XML reports.
↳Discover hidden bugs in MCP implementations: Find issues that traditional unit tests miss by testing over the wire.
↳Rapid server auditing: Quickly audit any MCP server in seconds to check tool health and schema issues without extensive setup.
