What is MCP Test Servers?
MCP Test Servers is a repository containing a suite of lightweight servers designed to simulate different scenarios and functionalities within the Model Context Protocol. These servers are intended to aid developers in testing and validating their MCP client implementations.
How to use MCP Test Servers?
To run a server, use the command npx @msfeldstein/mcp-test-servers <server-type>. For example, to run the time server, use npx @msfeldstein/mcp-test-servers time. Some servers, like the 'named' server, require environment variables to be set (e.g., MCP_SERVER_NAME="my-custom-server" npx @msfeldstein/mcp-test-servers named).
