teststand — MCP server by Zuehlke/teststand-mcp

teststand

teststand is an MCP server for Claude Code from Zuehlke/teststand-mcp. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local MCP server for connecting an AI assistant to NI TestStand, a Windows tool for creating and running automated tests. It starts a bundled Windows program and can use a specified TestStand environment file.

In plain words

What is it for?: It is for enabling AI-assisted work with NI TestStand sequence files. The input does not specify the individual operations it exposes.
Why use it?: It provides the connection needed for an assistant to work with TestStand instead of treating TestStand files as ordinary text. It requires a Windows setup and an optional environment-file path.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the teststand-mcp plugin — 1 skill, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/TestStandMCP.exe` has to be on your PATH already, or the server will not start.

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install teststand-mcp, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Security

Grade A, and why

teststand scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
