## 🔧 Customization
### Add New Tests
```python
def test_my_new_feature(mcp_client):
"""Test my new feature."""
result = mcp_client.call_tool("tool_name", param="value")
content = result[0].content[0].text
assert "expected" in content
print(f"✅ Test passed: {content}")
```
### Modify Server Startup Timeout
```python
# In test_mcp_tools.py, line ~56
_wait_for_server_startup(base_url, timeout=60) # Increase to 60s
```
### Change Polling Settings
```python
# In your tests
result = mcp_client.call_tool(
"query_space_01f0d08866f11370b6735facce14e3ff",
query="Your query",
max_wait_seconds=120 # Increase timeout
)
```
## 📝 Best Practices
1. ✅ **Run tests before committing**
2. ✅ **Add tests for new features**
3. ✅ **Keep tests independent**
4. ✅ **Use descriptive test names**
5. ✅ **Include assertions and print statements**
6. ✅ **Test both success and error cases**
7. ✅ **Clean up after tests**
## 🎓 Next Steps
1. **Run the tests**: `pytest tests/test_mcp_tools.py -v`
2. **Review results**: Check for any failures
3. **Add new tests**: Cover additional scenarios
4. **Integrate with CI/CD**: Add to GitHub Actions
5. **Monitor coverage**: Aim for >90%
