Mutmut MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing mutation testing with mutmut. This tool provides a set of programmatic APIs for running mutation tests, analyzing results, and improving test coverage in Python projects.

Features

• Run mutation testing sessions on any Python module or package

• Show overall mutation testing results and surviving mutations

• Suggest areas needing better test coverage

• Rerun mutmut on specific survivors or all survivors

• Clean mutmut cache

• Designed for automation and integration with other MCP tools
