Test MCP Servers with mcpc

Drive mcpc 0.2.x as the operator-facing harness for any MCP server — stdio or Streamable HTTP. This skill owns the released CLI contract (0.2.00.2.4), session-first command shape, JSON scripting, task execution, and cleanup. It does not own writing the server or client itself.

When to use this skill

  • Connecting to a real MCP server over stdio or Streamable HTTP and verifying the live surface with mcpc connect … @session
  • Inspecting tools, prompts, resources, templates, logging, subscriptions, or instructions from mcpc
  • Reproducing auth, proxy, cleanup, task, or transport failures with the released mcpc 0.2.x CLI
  • Scripting repeatable smoke checks in --json mode, including CI assertions and isError parsing
  • Comparing a local stdio server against a deployed Streamable HTTP target during release verification
  • Translating older 0.1.11 target-first examples to current session-first syntax

Do NOT use this skill when

  • Building or refactoring server code → use build-mcp-server-sdk-v1, build-mcp-server-sdk-v2, or build-mcp-use-server
  • Building or refactoring client/agent code → use build-mcp-use-client or build-mcp-use-agent
  • Running an agentic-quality / hardening / context-budget audit beyond CLI testing → use optimize-agentic-mcp
  • Porting an existing v1 server to v2 → use convert-mcp-server-sdk-v1-to-v2
