MCP Client for Testing
A minimalistic MCP (Model Context Protocol) client for testing tool calls in MCP servers.
Usage
Install uv and test a tool call in an MCP server like this:
uvx mcp-client-for-testing \
--config '
[
{
"name": "name of mcp server",
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/root/dir/",
"run",
"server.py"
],
"env": {}
}
]
' \
--client_log_level "WARNING" \
--server_log_level "INFO" \
--tool_call '{"name": "tool-name", "arguments": {}}'To use it in code, install the package:
uv pip install mcp-client-for-testingand use it like this:
import asyncio
from mcp_client_for_testing.client import execute_tool
async def main():
config = [
{
"name": "name of mcp server",
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/root/dir/",
"run",
"server.py"
],
"env": {}
}
]
tool_call = {"name": "tool-name", "arguments": {}}
await execute_tool(config, tool_call)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())Example
Use the echo-mcp-server-for-testing with uvx to test the MCP client.
uvx mcp-client-for-testing \
--config '
[
{
"name": "echo-mcp-server-for-testing",
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"echo-mcp-server-for-testing"
],
"env": {
"SECRET_KEY": "123456789"
}
}
]
' \
--client_log_level "WARNING" \
--server_log_level "INFO" \
--tool_call '{"name": "echo_tool", "arguments": {"message": "Hello, world!"}}'Development
Installation from source

2. Go into the root dir cd mcp-client-for-testing.
3. Install in development mode: uv pip install -e .
Formatting and Linting
The code is formatted and linted with ruff:
uv run ruff format
uv run ruff check --fixBuilding with uv
Build the package using uv:
uv buildReleasing a New Version
To release a new version of the package to PyPI, create and push a new Git tag:
1. Checkout the main branch and get the current version:
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git describe --tags2. Create and push a new Git tag:
