MCP Test Harness Documentation

Documentation Home

Enterprise documentation for MCP Test Harness — the deterministic, CI-native gate for Model Context Protocol servers. Structured like large-platform handbooks: concepts, getting started, how-to guides, and reference.

Current release: 4.0.1 pip install mcp-test-harness==4.0.1

Prefer the Documentation handbook as the single entry point. The README stays a thin index — same pattern as MCP-Bastion Docs.

Start here

Documentation handbook

Visual tour, security-first rationale, CI scan report, feature map, operate recipes, Bastion pairing.

Getting started

Install → mcp-test init → first green run in minutes.

Examples / demos

Feature demos for functional, regression, performance, and security.

Sample scan report

Static HTML CI artifact — gate scorecard, findings table, contract coverage.

Security testing

Payload packs, quality_gate, manifest rug-pull, SARIF — CI owns the gate.

Bastion runtime handbook

Companion product: enforce in production what CI verified.
