## Testing Scenarios
### 1. Test Server Discovery (New Feature)
**Verify the new `.well-known/mcp-server` endpoint:**
```bash
# Start server in HTTP mode
SERVER_API_KEY=testkey node src/server/mcpServer.js
# In another terminal, test discovery endpoint (no auth required)
curl http://localhost:3002/.well-known/mcp-server | jq
# Expected response:
# {
# "name": "openrouter-agents",
# "version": "1.6.0",
# "specification": "2025-06-18",
# "specificationDraft": "2025-11-25",
# "capabilities": { ... },
# "transports": [ ... ],
# "endpoints": { ... },
# "extensions": {
# "async-operations": { ... },
# "knowledge-base": { ... },
# "multi-agent": { ... }
# }
# }
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ Returns 200 OK
- ✅ Contains `version: "1.6.0"`
- ✅ Shows `specificationDraft: "2025-11-25"`
- ✅ Lists all three extensions
- ✅ No authentication required
### 2. Test Health Endpoint (New Feature)
```bash
# Test health endpoint (no auth required)
curl http://localhost:3002/health | jq
# Expected response:
# {
# "status": "healthy",
# "version": "1.6.0",
# "timestamp": "2025-11-12T...",
# "checks": {
# "database": "ok",
# "embedder": "ready"
# }
# }
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ Returns 200 OK when healthy, 503 when unhealthy
- ✅ Shows correct version
- ✅ Database status check works
- ✅ No authentication required
### 3. Test Rate Limiting (New Feature)
```bash
# Rapid fire test (should hit rate limit)
for i in {1..110}; do
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer testkey" \
http://localhost:3002/metrics
done
# First 100 should return 200
# Requests 101-110 should return 429 (Too Many Requests)
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ First 100 requests succeed
- ✅ Request 101+ returns 429 status
- ✅ Response includes `RateLimit-*` headers
- ✅ Error message: "Too many requests, please try again later."
### 4. Test STDIO Mode (MCP Clients)
**For Claude Code / Cursor / VS Code:**
Create MCP client config:
**Claude Code (`claude_desktop_config.json`):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"openrouter-agents-beta": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/openrouter-deep-research-mcp/src/server/mcpServer.js",
"--stdio"
],
"env": {
"OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your_key_here",
"INDEXER_ENABLED": "true",
"MODE": "ALL"
}
}
}
}
```
**Restart your MCP client** and verify:
- ✅ Server appears in MCP client list
- ✅ All tools are available (27 tools)
- ✅ Resources are listed (6 resources)
- ✅ Prompts are available (3 prompts)
### 5. Test Async Operations
**Via HTTP/SSE:**
```bash
# Start server
SERVER_API_KEY=testkey node src/server/mcpServer.js
# Submit async research job
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/jobs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer testkey" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "Latest developments in AI safety November 2025",
"maxIterations": 2
}' | jq
# Returns: {"job_id": "some-uuid"}
# Monitor job events via SSE
curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer testkey" \
http://localhost:3002/jobs/YOUR-JOB-ID/events
# Watch real-time progress events
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ Job submission returns immediately with job_id
- ✅ SSE events stream shows progress (submitted → processing → completed)
- ✅ Final event includes research results
- ✅ Can check job status via `/jobs/:id/events`
### 6. Test Knowledge Base (Hybrid Search)
**Test semantic search:**
```bash
# Via STDIO mode in MCP client, use these tools:
# 1. index_texts - Add documents
# 2. search_index - Query with hybrid BM25+vector search
# 3. retrieve - Get past research reports
```
**Example query (in MCP client):**
```
Tool: search_index
Parameters: {
"query": "machine learning optimization",
"limit": 5
}
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ Returns relevant documents
- ✅ Hybrid scoring works (BM25 + vector)
- ✅ Results include similarity scores
- ✅ Fast response time (< 500ms)
### 7. Test Multi-Agent Orchestration
**Run a complex research query:**
```bash
# In MCP client, use 'research' or 'conduct_research' tool
Tool: research
Parameters: {
"query": "Compare quantum computing approaches from IBM, Google, and IonQ",
"domain": "technology",
"maxIterations": 3,
"ensembleSize": 2
}
```
**What to verify:**
- ✅ Planning phase decomposes query
- ✅ Parallel execution of sub-queries (watch logs)
- ✅ Synthesis streams progressively
- ✅ Citations included in output
- ✅ Usage metrics tracked
### 8. Test Production Features
**A. Request Size Limit:**
```bash
# Try to send > 10MB payload (should be rejected)
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=11 | base64 | \
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/jobs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer testkey" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @-
# Expected: 413 Payload Too Large (or connection refused)
```
**B. Authentication:**
```bash
# Test JWT auth (if configured)
export AUTH_JWKS_URL=https://your-auth-provider.com/.well-known/jwks.json
export AUTH_EXPECTED_AUD=mcp-server
# Test with valid JWT
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
http://localhost:3002/metrics
# Test with invalid token (should return 403)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer invalid" \
http://localhost:3002/metrics
```
**C. HTTPS Enforcement (Production):**
```bash
# Set HTTPS requirement
export REQUIRE_HTTPS=true
# Test HTTP request (should be rejected)
curl http://localhost:3002/health
# Expected: {"error": "HTTPS required"}
```

## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Dependencies not installing
```bash
# Clear cache and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install
```
### Issue: STDIO mode not connecting
```bash
# Check logs for errors
# Verify no stdout pollution (use stderr for logs)
# Confirm JSON-RPC messages are valid
# Test manually
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{},"id":1}' | \
node src/server/mcpServer.js --stdio
```
### Issue: Rate limit too restrictive
```bash
# Adjust in src/server/mcpServer.js (line 731-738)
# Change max: 100 to higher value for testing
# Example: max: 1000 for load testing
```
### Issue: Database not initializing
```bash
# Check permissions
ls -la ./researchAgentDB/
# Try in-memory mode
export PGLITE_IN_MEMORY=true
node src/server/mcpServer.js
```
### Issue: Embedder slow to initialize
```bash
# First run downloads model (~25MB)
# Check ~/.cache/huggingface/
# Pre-download model:
node -e "require('./src/utils/dbClient').initializeDb()"
```
