[ ] Tests run successfully against test space - [ ] All reusable assets documented in docs-to-persist/ - [ ] Test results documented - [ ] GitHub issues created for failures - [ ] No spam test data left in ClickUp workspace --- ## Estimated Total Time: 5-7 hours **Breakdown:** - Phase 0: 2 min - Phase 1: 15 min - Phase 2: 30 min - Phase 3: 2-3 hours - Phase 4: 1-2 hours - Phase 5: 45 min - Phase 6: 30 min - Phase 7: 15 min --- ## Notes - Tests use traditional MCP mode (not CloudFlare) for local execution - Test space: "MCP-Integration-Tests-2025" (consistent naming) - Cleanup after each test to prevent space pollution - Tests are independent and can run in parallel - Use Context7 MCP for ModelContextProtocol docs if needed - Use MCP Inspector for debugging failures --- **Status:** Ready to execute autonomously! 🚀
