mcp-probe tool adds retry receipts for CI gates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has released version 1.12.0 of the mcp-probe tool to address issues with CI gates in the MCP system. The update introduces a sidecar retry policy for tool-call dry-runs, allowing transient downstream failures like 503 errors or timeouts to be retried without causing hard failures. This ensures that only genuine errors block the CI process, while still preserving receipts that show the retry attempts. AI

IMPACT Improves the reliability of CI/CD pipelines for AI development tools by distinguishing transient from hard failures.

    MCP CI gates need retry receipts for flaky downstreams

    <p>MCP CI gates need to distinguish two very different failures:</p> <ol> <li>the server is actually broken</li> <li>the downstream dependency is temporarily flaky</li> </ol> <p>If both become hard failures, CI gets noisy.<br /> If both are ignored, the gate stops meaning anythin…
