A new evaluation method called MCP eval has been developed to assess how effectively AI models can utilize server tools, addressing a gap where models fail despite successful tool interactions. Unlike traditional tests that verify protocol adherence, MCP evals focus on whether a model can achieve a correct answer to a user's task using the provided tools. This method distinguishes between four outcomes: pass, wrong answer, too many calls, or untestable, recognizing that evals are inherently non-deterministic and call count is an early indicator of potential issues.
