Security Report
4.8
Use Caution4.8High RiskThis MCP test runner is well-structured with appropriate security controls for its purpose. It properly validates working directory paths, uses subprocess timeouts and POSIX resource limits to contain execution, and implements straightforward JSON parsing without dangerous patterns. Code quality is high with strict mypy typing, comprehensive test coverage, and good input validation. Permissions (subprocess execution, file I/O, environment variables) are proportionate to running local tests. Supply chain analysis found 6 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

mcp-test-runner
MCP server for deterministic local test execution and normalized test result reporting.
mcp-test-runner is the verification layer for codebase onboarding agents. It exposes focused MCP tools for running pytest and Jest, parsing test output, and summarizing coverage so downstream agents can mark claims as verified, unverified, or contradicted by real execution.
Codebase Onboarding Stack
mcp-test-runner is the verification layer in a three-server MCP tool stack for Project 6 wayfinder, a codebase onboarding agent.
mcp-repo-mappermaps repository structure, languages, entry points, framework evidence, and Python dependency edges.mcp-ast-explorerprovides symbol-grounded Python definition, signature, reference, call-chain, and class-hierarchy lookups.mcp-test-runnerruns local pytest/Jest checks and coverage summaries so agent claims can be verified against execution.
In wayfinder, this server turns high-risk code understanding claims into verified, unverified, or contradicted evidence from real test execution.
Status
This repository is a Python-first v1 MCP test runner. It supports bounded pytest execution, Jest command execution, single-test targeting, pytest coverage summaries, and normalized pytest/Jest JSON parsing.
The server does not use an LLM. Test results come from subprocess execution and structured parser output.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
health() | Returns ok for smoke checks. |
run_pytest(path, test_filter?, timeout_seconds?, cpu_seconds?, memory_mb?) | Run pytest in a bounded working directory and return raw command output. |
run_jest(path, test_filter?, timeout_seconds?, cpu_seconds?, memory_mb?) | Run Jest through npx jest and return raw command output. |
run_single_test(path, test_id, framework?, timeout_seconds?, cpu_seconds?, memory_mb?) | Run one pytest node id or one Jest test-name pattern. |
parse_test_output(stdout, framework) | Normalize test runner JSON output. |
get_coverage_summary(path, framework?, timeout_seconds?, cpu_seconds?, memory_mb?) | Return pytest-cov JSON coverage totals. |
Supported Scope
- Python 3.11+ package.
- FastMCP 2.x server.
- pytest execution with JSON report output via
pytest-json-report. - Jest command execution via
npx jest --json --outputFile. - pytest and Jest JSON normalization into one
TestRunResultschema. - Single pytest node id execution and Jest test-name targeting.
- pytest-cov coverage summary from
.coverage.json. - Subprocess timeout plus POSIX
resource.setrlimitCPU / memory caps.
Current Limitations
- v1 does not use Docker. It uses cwd validation, subprocess timeouts, and POSIX resource limits.
- Resource limits require a POSIX platform that supports
resource.setrlimit. - Jest execution expects Node.js plus project-local or
npx-resolvable Jest. - Jest single-test targeting uses
--testNamePattern; it does not parse Jest file-specific node ids. - Coverage summary is pytest-only in v1.
- Tools return raw command output for execution; call
parse_test_outputto normalize framework JSON.
Local Development
Install dependencies:
uv sync --extra dev
The PyPI distribution name is lovranran-mcp-test-runner because mcp-test-runner is already taken on PyPI. The installed console script remains mcp-test-runner.
Run the MCP server:
uv run mcp-test-runner
Run verification:
uv run ruff check .
uv run mypy
uv run pytest
