mcp-gauntlet
mcp-gauntlet is an evaluation framework designed to test MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers by determining if AI agents can actually accomplish meaningful tasks with the tools the server exposes. It runs agentic evaluations that include testing for capabilities like tool use and resistance to prompt injection. The package is aimed at developers building or validating MCP-compatible AI agent systems.
