server-test

@paretools/test

Structured, token-efficient test runner output for AI agents. Up to 80% fewer tokens than raw test CLI output.

Part of the Pare suite of MCP servers. Auto-detects pytest, jest, vitest, and mocha.

Tools (3)

Tool	Description
run	Run tests, returns pass/fail counts and failure details
coverage	Run tests with coverage, returns per-file summary
playwright	Run Playwright tests with structured pass/fail output

Quick Start

npx -y @paretools/test

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pare-test": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@paretools/test"]
    }
  }
}

Example

run output:

{
  "framework": "vitest",
  "passed": 46,
  "failed": 1,
  "skipped": 0,
  "total": 47,
  "failures": [
    {
      "name": "parseOutput > handles empty input",
      "file": "src/__tests__/parsers.test.ts",
      "message": "expected true to be false"
    }
  ]
}

Timeout Policy

• Tool process timeout (run, coverage, playwright): 300_000ms (5 minutes)
• Integration test MCP call timeout: 300_000ms
• Vitest file/test timeout for this package: 300_000ms

This package runs real downstream suites (including @paretools/git integration tests), so lower global limits like 120s can fail due to cumulative runtime on slower CI/Windows runners.

Test Batching (Maintainers)

• pnpm test:unit runs fast parser/formatter/helper tests
• pnpm test:integration runs MCP integration + tool-params tests
• pnpm test:fidelity runs the long fidelity suite

The default pnpm test runs these batches sequentially for earlier failure and clearer triage.
