A workflow can mention `mcp-probe`\n\nand still not run the actual CI gate correctly.\n\n`mcp-probe doctor`\n\nnow warns when the matching GitHub Actions workflow is missing any of these pieces:\n\n`actions/checkout@v6`\n\n`--config <config-file>`\n\n`--github-summary`\n\nExample:\n\n```\nnpx @k08200/mcp-probe@latest doctor\n```\n\nIf your workflow calls `mcp-probe`\n\ndirectly but does not use the configured fleet gate, doctor now tells you what is missing before you trust the CI result.\n\nThe larger goal of mcp-probe is to make MCP servers testable like normal infrastructure. That means checking more than process startup:\n\n`tools/list`\n\ndiscovery`tools/call`\n\ndry-runsA readiness gate is only useful if the gate is actually installed correctly.\n\nGitHub: [https://github.com/k08200/mcp-probe](https://github.com/k08200/mcp-probe)\n\nnpm: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@k08200/mcp-probe](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@k08200/mcp-probe)\n\nRelease: [https://github.com/k08200/mcp-probe/releases/tag/v1.6.0](https://github.com/k08200/mcp-probe/releases/tag/v1.6.0)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-probe-v1-6-0-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/k08200/mcp-probe-v160-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates-52k9", "published_at": "2026-05-26 04:35:59+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-26 05:03:45.794212+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "mlops"], "entities": ["mcp-probe", "GitHub Actions", "npm", "k08200"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-probe-v1-6-0-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-probe-v1-6-0-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-probe-v1-6-0-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-probe-v1-6-0-stricter-github-actions-checks-for-mcp-ci-gates.jsonld"}}
