MCP Test Harness for Plugin & Server Verification
API & MCP
🔧 What''s Improved
We added a small suite of test scripts under scripts/ to verify the MCP server end-to-end:
test-mcp-connector.ts— exercises the Anthropic Messages API + MCP toolsettest-mcp-client-helpers.ts— uses the official MCP SDK client to list prompts, resources, and toolstest-leafpad-mcp.ts— discovers tools exposed by the Leafpad MCP servertest-mcp-server-curl.sh— direct JSON-RPC curl probes against the Brand Kit OS MCP endpoint
Why it matters
These harnesses catch regressions in tool catalogs, SSE streaming, and partner integration handshakes before the plugin reaches Claude Desktop.
