UnitTestMcp.Server 1.0.7

UnitTestMcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for analyzing code coverage from MTP (Microsoft Testing Platform) based .NET test projects. Parses Cobertura XML coverage reports and exposes coverage data through MCP tools for AI-assisted development workflows.

Features

• Parse Cobertura XML coverage reports (the standard output from dotnet test with code coverage)
• Query missed lines and branches for individual source files
• Get overall coverage for classes, methods, projects, and entire solutions
• Generate comprehensive missed coverage reports across a solution
• Discover and merge multiple coverage reports automatically

Prerequisites

• .NET 10 SDK or later
• An MTP-compatible test framework (e.g., TUnit, MSTest, xUnit v3)
• Code coverage collection configured (via testconfig.json or CLI flags)

Installation

dotnet tool install --global UnitTestMcp.Server

Or run directly from source:

cd src
dotnet run --project UnitTestMcp.Server

Usage

Generating Coverage Reports

With MTP, code coverage is configured via testconfig.json and the Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage extension. Add the extension to your test project and configure it for Cobertura output:

{
    "extensions": [
        {
            "extensionId": "Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage",
            "settings": {
                "format": "cobertura"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Then run your tests normally:

dotnet test

Configuring as an MCP Server

Add to your Claude Code MCP configuration (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dotnet-mtp-coverage-mcp": {
      "command": "dotnet-mtp-coverage-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Cobertura XML Format

This tool expects Cobertura XML format, which is the standard output from the Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage extension when configured with "format": "cobertura" in testconfig.json.

Building

cd src
dotnet build

Running Tests
