Probe MCP Server

One command to diagnose your MCP server. Tests every tool, resource, and prompt your server exposes - then gives you a health report with a pass/fail scorecard. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with developer tools and testing and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Probe

Claude Code

claude mcp add incultnitollc-mcp-probe -- npx -y @incultnitollc/mcp-probe

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "incultnitollc-mcp-probe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@incultnitollc/mcp-probe"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
