test-mcp-by-cli
Test MCP By CLI
Validate MCP servers with mcp-cli (philschmid/mcp-cli v0.3.0) using release-verified behavior first, then use official repo source only when it matches what the installed binary actually does.
Core rules
- Execute commands directly and sequentially.
- Do not write helper scripts unless explicitly requested.
- Treat server work as incomplete until verification checks pass.
- Prefer single-server commands while debugging.
- After rebuilding a server, always retest with
MCP_NO_DAEMON=1. - Treat
mcp-cli --helpand real command output as the primary behavioral source for the installed release. - Remember that
callreturns the raw MCP JSON envelope on stdout in the installedv0.3.0binary.
What to load first
Use this progressive order to keep context tight:
- This file (
SKILL.md) for command strategy, decision rules, and execution flow.
