mcp-probe v1.6.0: Stricter GitHub Actions checks for MCP CI gates

Mcp-probe v1.6.0 ships with a stricter `mcp-probe doctor` command that now validates GitHub Actions workflows for proper CI gate configuration. The update checks that workflows include `actions/checkout@v6`, a `--config ` flag, and `--github-summary` — warning developers when any piece is missing before trusting the CI result.

I shipped mcp-probe v1.6.0 with a small but useful improvement to mcp-probe doctor

.

Previous behavior:

.github/workflows

existsmcp-probe

That was useful, but too shallow. A workflow can mention mcp-probe

and still not run the actual CI gate correctly.

mcp-probe doctor

now warns when the matching GitHub Actions workflow is missing any of these pieces:

actions/checkout@v6

--config <config-file>

--github-summary

Example:

npx @k08200/mcp-probe@latest doctor

If your workflow calls mcp-probe

directly but does not use the configured fleet gate, doctor now tells you what is missing before you trust the CI result.

The larger goal of mcp-probe is to make MCP servers testable like normal infrastructure. That means checking more than process startup:

tools/list

discoverytools/call

dry-runsA readiness gate is only useful if the gate is actually installed correctly.
