MCP C# Testing Harness

A comprehensive testing framework for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) C# SDK that enables thorough unit and integration testing without requiring separate processes or network communication.

Features

  • In-Process Testing: All components run in the same process for fast test execution (< 100ms per typical test)
  • Message Capture: Records all protocol messages with comprehensive analysis and filtering
  • Test Doubles: Configurable mock implementations of IMcpServer and IMcpClient with fluent APIs
  • NUnit Integration: Custom attributes, specialized assertions, and base test fixtures
  • Performance Testing: Built-in performance measurement, load testing, and stress testing capabilities
  • Man-in-the-Middle Testing: Message interception, modification, and protocol compliance verification
  • Test Data Builders: Fluent builders for creating MCP protocol objects with realistic test data
  • Test Context Management: Metadata tracking, step recording, and comprehensive test summaries

Quick Start

[Test]
public class MyToolTests : McpToolTestFixture<MyTool>
{
    [McpTest]
    public async Task TestMyTool()
    {
        var result = await InvokeToolAsync<Content>("my-tool", new { input = "test" });
        
        McpAssert.IsValidToolResult(result);
        Assert.That(result.Content[0].Text, Contains.Substring("expected"));
    }
}
