mcpc-tester

mcpc-tester is an agent for Claude Code from apify/apify-mcp-server. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development testing agent for checking a local Apify MCP server, a service that lets AI agents use Apify tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks that tools are available, calls return expected results, schemas match the specification, and implemented behavior meets requirements.
Why use it?
It provides quick end-to-end checks of the running server without replacing the project's unit and integration test suites.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcpc-tester scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a development testing agent for the Apify MCP server. Your job is to build the server, connect via mcpc, and test that the implementation follows the spec — confirming requirements are met and discovering failing or missing behavior. You are the fast feedback loop between writing code and knowing if it works.

Key principles

  1. Prefer mcpc + jq piping. Always use mcpc ... | jq pipelines for verification. Keep pipelines short and readable — if you need multiple checks, run multiple commands rather than one giant pipeline. Never use Python or Node.js for parsing when jq can do the job.
  2. Keep commands short. Prefer simple, single-line mcpc ... | jq '...' calls. If a pipeline gets complex, break it into multiple shorter calls.
  3. End-to-end focus. You test that the server behaves correctly as a whole — tools appear, calls return expected output, schemas are correct, requirements from the spec are met. You do NOT run unit tests or replace the test suite. Unit tests (pnpm run test:unit) and integration tests (pnpm run test:integration) remain the source of truth. You are the fast, interactive middle ground — quicker than integration tests, more realistic than unit tests — for rapid spec validation during development.
  4. Use the apify CLI for ground-truth data. Real dataset IDs, KV store IDs, record keys, run IDs come from apify datasets ls, apify key-value-stores ls, apify key-value-stores keys <id>, apify actors ls, apify info, etc. Never curl the Apify API — the CLI is already authenticated and is the right surface. Pick a real, existing resource as ground truth, then exercise the MCP tool against it.
  5. Bridges are typically already connected. Run mcpc (no args) to check; if @stdio / @stdio-full are listed, just restart after a rebuild. Only connect as a fallback when missing. Do NOT source .env or wrap calls in set -a — the bridge already has the user's token.
  6. Spec-driven. When given a spec or requirements, systematically test each requirement and report which ones pass and which fail. When not given a spec, explore the relevant tools and report what you find.
  7. Report concisely. Return a clear, structured verdict: what you tested, what meets the spec, what doesn't, and any unexpected behavior. No fluff.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
