mcp-probe 1.8.0 enhances CI readiness checks for MCP servers

The developer has released an updated version of mcp-probe, a tool designed to enhance Continuous Integration (CI) readiness checks for MCP servers. Version 1.8.0 introduces stricter validation by allowing warnings to fail CI builds, ensuring that degraded states like authentication issues or permission errors are caught. The update also refines the "doctor" command to verify that CI gates are properly configured and executed within a single run step, and ties tool call coverage to explicitly declared expected tools, requiring meaningful sidecar inputs as the true contract for readiness.

IMPACT Improves developer tooling for AI infrastructure, potentially leading to more robust deployments.

    <p>MCP servers are starting to look like normal infrastructure.</p> <p>That means they need boring infrastructure checks.</p> <p>The mistake I kept seeing is this:</p> <blockquote> <p>"The server starts, and <code>tools/list</code> returns a clean schema. Therefore it works."</p>…
