Conformance Tests

This directory contains conformance test implementations for the TypeScript MCP SDK.

Client Conformance Tests

Tests the SDK's client implementation against a conformance test server.

# Run all client tests
pnpm run test:conformance:client:all

# Run specific suite
pnpm run test:conformance:client -- --suite auth

# Run single scenario
pnpm run test:conformance:client -- --scenario auth/basic-cimd

Server Conformance Tests

Tests the SDK's server implementation by running a conformance server.

# Run all active server tests
pnpm run test:conformance:server

# Run all server tests (including pending)
pnpm run test:conformance:server:all

Local Development

Running Tests Against Local Conformance Repo

Link the local conformance package:

cd ~/code/mcp/typescript-sdk
pnpm link ~/code/mcp/conformance

Then run tests as above.

Debugging Server Tests

Start the server manually:

pnpm run test:conformance:server:run

In another terminal, run specific tests:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance server \
  --url http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  --scenario server-initialize

Files

• src/everythingClient.ts - Client that handles all client conformance scenarios
• src/everythingServer.ts - Server that implements all server conformance features
• src/authTestServer.ts - Server with OAuth authentication for auth conformance tests
• src/helpers/ - Shared utilities for conformance tests
• scripts/ - Conformance test runner scripts

Auth Test Server

The authTestServer.ts is designed for testing server-side OAuth implementation. It requires an authorization server URL and validates tokens via introspection.

# Start with a fake auth server
MCP_CONFORMANCE_AUTH_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000 \
  npx tsx src/authTestServer.ts

The server:

• Requires Bearer token authentication on all MCP endpoints
• Validates tokens via the AS's introspection endpoint (RFC 7662)
• Serves Protected Resource Metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
