## Why MCP Testing?

Traditional testing doesn't work for MCP servers. You can't write unit tests for natural language interactions. MCP Testing solves this with:

- **🤖 Real AI Agents** - Claude and ChatGPT actually use your MCP server
- **👤 User Simulation** - AI simulates realistic multi-turn user behavior
- **⚖️ LLM-as-a-Judge** - Intelligent evaluation instead of brittle assertions
- **🎭 Comprehensive Testing** - Security, compliance and performace all in one framework
- **🔌 Multiple Transports** - Supports HTTP and stdio servers

## Quick Start

Get testing in 3 steps:

1. **Install & Setup**

   ```bash
   pip install mcp-testing
   export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."  # For AI agents
   export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."         # For LLM judge
   ```

2. **Interactive Onboarding**

   ```bash
   mcp-t quickstart  # Creates your first server & test suite
   ```

3. **Run Tests**
   ```bash
   mcp-t run <suite-id> <server-id>
   # Example: mcp-t run example_suite_001 hackernews_mcp_server
   ```

## Core Concepts
