# MCP-Evals Integration Summary
## š Successfully Integrated mcp-evals
### What Was Added
#### 1. **Evaluation Configuration Files**
- `evals/smoke-tests.yaml` - Quick validation tests (2-3 minutes)
- `evals/simplenote-evals.yaml` - Standard evaluation suite (5-10 minutes)
- `evals/comprehensive-evals.yaml` - Thorough testing suite (15-30 minutes)
- `evals/README.md` - Comprehensive documentation
#### 2. **GitHub Actions Workflow**
- `.github/workflows/mcp-evaluations.yml` - Automated evaluation runs
- Triggers on pull requests and manual dispatch
- Uses your configured `OPENAI_API_KEY` secret
- Smart evaluation selection based on PR labels and changes
#### 3. **Node.js Environment**
- `package.json` - Node.js dependencies and scripts
- mcp-evals CLI integration
- Validation scripts for YAML files
- Cost-efficient model selection (GPT-4o-mini for frequent tests)
#### 4. **Development Tools**
- `setup-dev-env-with-evals.sh` - One-command setup script
- Updated `.gitignore` for Node.js artifacts
- Enhanced development documentation
#### 5. **Integration Features**
- Seamless integration with existing CI/CD pipeline
- Smart cost management using different models for different test types
- Comprehensive evaluation coverage for all MCP server functionality
### š How to Use
#### Immediate Next Steps
1. **Test the setup**:
```bash
npm run validate:evals # ā
Already passed
npm run eval:smoke # Quick test (requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
```
2. **Set up for development**:
```bash
./setup-dev-env-with-evals.sh # Complete setup
```
3. **Configure environment**:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
export SIMPLENOTE_EMAIL="your-test-account@example.com"
export SIMPLENOTE_PASSWORD="your-test-password"
```
#### Running Evaluations
```bash
# Quick validation (good for frequent testing)
npm run eval:smoke
# Standard testing (good for PR validation)
npm run eval:basic
# Comprehensive testing (good for releases)
npm run eval:comprehensive
# Run all evaluations
npm run eval:all
```
### š CI/CD Integration
#### Automatic Triggers
- **Pull Requests**: Runs smoke tests + basic evaluations
- **Manual Trigger**: Run any evaluation suite on demand
- **Comprehensive Label**: Add `comprehensive-eval` label to PR for full suite
#### Cost Management
- **Smoke tests**: ~$0.01-0.05 per run
- **Basic evaluations**: ~$0.10-0.50 per run
- **Comprehensive**: ~$1.00-5.00 per run

### š Evaluation Coverage
#### What Gets Tested
- ā
**CRUD Operations**: Create, read, update, delete notes
- ā
**Search Functionality**: Text search, boolean operators, filters
- ā
**Tag Management**: Adding, removing, replacing tags
- ā
**Error Handling**: Authentication, network issues, edge cases
- ā
**Performance**: Large datasets, concurrent operations
- ā
**Security**: Input validation, authentication enforcement
- ā
**MCP Compliance**: Protocol standards, response formats
#### Quality Metrics
Each evaluation provides scores for:
- **Accuracy** (1-5): Correctness of responses
- **Completeness** (1-5): Thoroughness of results
- **Relevance** (1-5): Response appropriateness
- **Clarity** (1-5): Response readability
- **Reasoning** (1-5): Quality of reasoning
### šÆ Best Practices Implemented
#### 1. **Tiered Testing Strategy**
- Smoke tests for quick feedback
- Basic tests for standard validation
- Comprehensive tests for thorough assessment
#### 2. **Cost Optimization**
- Using `gpt-4o-mini` for frequent testing
- Using `gpt-4o` only for comprehensive evaluations
- Smart model selection based on test type
#### 3. **Development Integration**
- Validation of YAML files before commits
- Easy local testing with npm scripts
- Clear documentation and examples
#### 4. **CI/CD Best Practices**
- Conditional execution based on changes
- Proper secret management
- Clear reporting and feedback
