# MCP Specification Test Results
## Summary
Your Terminally-mcp server has been tested against comprehensive MCP protocol specification tests. The results show that the server is **mostly compliant** with the MCP specification, with 24 out of 26 tests passing.
## Test Coverage
### ✅ Passing Tests (24/26)
#### 1. JSON-RPC 2.0 Protocol Compliance ✅
- ✅ Returns valid JSON-RPC 2.0 responses
- ✅ Handles requests without params
- ✅ Returns errors for unknown methods
- ✅ Handles malformed JSON gracefully
- ✅ Handles missing jsonrpc version
#### 2. Tool Discovery (tools/list) ✅
- ✅ Lists all 5 available tools correctly
- ✅ Provides complete tool metadata
- ✅ Specifies required parameters correctly
- ✅ Includes return type information
#### 3. Tool Invocation (tools/call) ⚠️
- ✅ Calls tools with valid parameters
- ❌ **FAILS: Does not validate missing required parameters**
- ✅ Handles unknown tool names
- ✅ Handles optional parameters
- ✅ Returns properly formatted results
#### 4. Server Capabilities ✅
- ✅ Responds to server/capabilities (returns proper error if not implemented)
#### 5. Error Handling ✅
- ✅ Uses standard MCP error codes
- ✅ Handles invalid parameter types gracefully
- ✅ Provides meaningful error messages
#### 6. Protocol Edge Cases ⚠️
- ✅ Handles empty params object
- ❌ **FAILS: Times out when handling null params**
- ✅ Handles very long tool arguments
- ✅ Maintains request ID in responses
#### 7. Tool-Specific Validation ✅
- ✅ create_tab returns valid window_id format (@\d+)
- ✅ list_tabs returns proper tab structure
- ✅ execute_command handles timeout parameter
- ✅ read_output handles history_limit parameter
## Issues Found
### Issue 1: Missing Required Parameter Validation
**Test:** `should handle missing required parameters`
**Problem:** When calling `close_tab` without the required `window_id` parameter, the server does not return an error as expected.
**Impact:** Low - Clients might get unexpected behavior
**Fix Required:** Add parameter validation in the tool handlers to check for required parameters before processing
### Issue 2: Null Params Handling
**Test:** `should handle null params`
**Problem:** When sending `null` as params to `tools/list`, the server times out instead of handling it gracefully
**Impact:** Medium - Could cause client timeouts
**Fix Required:** Add null checks in the request handlers
## Server Configuration Verification
### ✅ Correctly Configured:
1. **Protocol Version**: Correctly reports version 0.3
2. **Tool Registration**: All 5 tools are properly registered and discoverable
3. **Tool Metadata**: Each tool has proper schema definitions with:
- Name
- Description
- Input schema with properties and required fields
- Return type definitions
4. **Response Format**: Follows MCP response format with content array containing text type
5. **Error Handling**: Returns proper JSON-RPC errors with codes and messages
6. **Request ID Tracking**: Maintains request IDs correctly in responses
### ⚠️ Needs Improvement:
1. **Parameter Validation**: Should validate required parameters before executing tools
2. **Null Handling**: Should handle null params gracefully
## Recommendations
1. **Add Parameter Validation**: Implement validation in tool handlers to check for required parameters
2. **Handle Edge Cases**: Add null checks for params in request handlers
3. **Consider Adding**:
- More comprehensive error codes for different failure scenarios
- Request/response logging for debugging
- Rate limiting for production use
## Overall Assessment
**Score: 92% (24/26 tests passing)**
Your MCP server is **well-configured and largely compliant** with the MCP specification. The server correctly:
- Implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol
- Exposes all tools with proper metadata
- Handles most edge cases gracefully
- Provides meaningful error messages
The two failing tests are relatively minor issues that can be easily fixed with parameter validation improvements. The server is production-ready for most use cases, though addressing the identified issues would improve robustness.
