MCPMark: Stress-Testing Comprehensive MCP Use

An evaluation suite for agentic models in real MCP tool environments (Notion / GitHub / Filesystem / Postgres / Playwright).

MCPMark provides a reproducible, extensible benchmark for researchers and engineers: one-command tasks, isolated sandboxes, auto-resume for failures, unified metrics, and aggregated reports.

🚀 MCPMark Verified is now the default. The standard tasks in this repository are the Verified set — every environment version-pinned and every verifier stabilized. Results from earlier task versions are deprecated and not directly comparable, so please report new numbers as MCPMark Verified. On the Verified set, gpt-5.5 (xhigh) leads at 92.9% and kimi-k2.7 reaches 81.1%. See #264.

What you can do with MCPMark

• Evaluate real tool usage across multiple MCP services: Notion, GitHub, Filesystem, Postgres, Playwright.
• Use ready-to-run tasks covering practical workflows, each with strict automated verification.
• Reliable and reproducible: isolated environments that do not pollute your accounts/data; failed tasks auto-retry and resume.
• Unified metrics and aggregation: single/multi-run (pass@k, avg@k, etc.) with automated results aggregation.
• Flexible deployment: local or Docker; fully validated on macOS and Linux.

Quickstart (5 minutes)

1) Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/eval-sys/mcpmark.git
cd mcpmark

2) Set environment variables (create .mcp_env at repo root)

Only set what you need. Add service credentials when running tasks for that service.

# Example: OpenAI
OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

# Optional: Notion (only for Notion tasks)
SOURCE_NOTION_API_KEY="your-source-notion-api-key"
EVAL_NOTION_API_KEY="your-eval-notion-api-key"
EVAL_PARENT_PAGE_TITLE="MCPMark Eval Hub"
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSER="chromium"   # chromium | firefox
PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS="True"

# Optional: GitHub (only for GitHub tasks)
GITHUB_TOKENS="token1,token2"   # token pooling for rate limits
GITHUB_EVAL_ORG="your-eval-org"

# Optional: Postgres (only for Postgres tasks)
POSTGRES_HOST="localhost"
POSTGRES_PORT="5432"
POSTGRES_USERNAME="postgres"
POSTGRES_PASSWORD="password"

See docs/introduction.md and the service guides below for more details.

3) Install and run a minimal example

Local (Recommended)

pip install -e .
# If you'll use browser-based tasks, install Playwright browsers first
playwright install

MCPMark defaults to the built-in orchestration agent (MCPMarkAgent). To experiment with the ReAct-style agent, pass --agent react to pipeline.py (other settings stay the same).

Docker

./build-docker.sh

Run a filesystem task (no external accounts required):

python -m pipeline \
  --mcp filesystem \
  --k 1 \ # run once to quick start
  --models gpt-5  \ # or any model you configured
  --tasks file_property/size_classification
# Add --task-suite easy to run the lightweight dataset (where available)

Results are saved to ./results/{exp_name}/{model}__{mcp}/run-*/... for the standard suite and ./results/{exp_name}/{model}__{mcp}-easy/run-*/... when you run --task-suite easy (e.g., ./results/test-run/gpt-5__filesystem/run-1/... or ./results/test-run/gpt-5__github-easy/run-1/...).

---

Run your evaluations

Task suites (standard vs easy)

• Each MCP service now stores tasks under tasks/<mcp>/<task_suite>/<category>/<task>/.
• standard (default) covers the full benchmark (127 tasks today).
• easy hosts 10 lightweight tasks per MCP, ideal for smoke tests and CI (GitHub’s are already available under tasks/github/easy).
• Switch suites with --task-suite easy (defaults to --task-suite standard).

Single run (k=1)

# Run ALL tasks for a service
python -m pipeline --exp-name exp --mcp notion --tasks all --models MODEL --k 1

# Run a task group
python -m pipeline --exp-name exp --mcp notion --tasks online_resume --models MODEL --k 1

# Run a specific task
python -m pipeline --exp-name exp --mcp notion --tasks online_resume/daily_itinerary_overview --models MODEL --k 1

# Evaluate multiple models
python -m pipeline --exp-name exp --mcp notion --tasks all --models MODEL1,MODEL2,MODEL3 --k 1

Multiple runs (k>1) for pass@k

# Run k=4 to compute stability metrics (requires --exp-name to aggregate final results)
python -m pipeline --exp-name exp --mcp notion --tasks all --models MODEL

# Aggregate results (pass@1 / pass@k / pass^k / avg@k)
python -m src.aggregators.aggregate_results --exp-name exp

Run with Docker

# Run all tasks for a service
./run-task.sh --mcp notion --models MODEL --exp-name exp --tasks all

# Cross-service benchmark
./run-benchmark.sh --models MODEL --exp-name exp --docker

Please visit docs/introduction.md for choices of MODEL.

Tip: MCPMark supports auto-resume. When re-running, only unfinished tasks will execute. Failures matching our retryable patterns (see RETRYABLE_PATTERNS) are retried automatically. Models may emit different error strings—if you encounter a new resumable error, please open a PR or issue.

Tip: MCPMark supports auto-compaction; pass --compaction-token N to enable automatic context summarization when prompt tokens reach N (use 999999999 to disable).

Service setup and authentication

Service	Setup summary	Docs
Notion	Environment isolation (Source Hub / Eval Hub), integration creation and grants, browser login verification.	Guide
GitHub	Multi-account token pooling recommended; import pre-exported repo state if needed.	Guide
Postgres	Start via Docker and import sample databases.	Setup
Playwright	Install browsers before first run; defaults to chromium.	Setup
Filesystem	Zero-configuration, run directly.	Config

You can also follow Quickstart for the shortest end-to-end path.

Important Notice: GitHub Repository Privacy

Please ensure your evaluation repositories are set to PRIVATE.

GitHub state templates are now automatically downloaded from our CDN during evaluation — no manual download is required. However, because these templates contain issues and pull requests from real open-source repositories, the recreation process includes @username mentions of the original authors.

We have received feedback from original GitHub authors who were inadvertently notified when evaluation repositories were created as public. To be a responsible member of the open-source community, we urge all users to:

1. Always keep evaluation repositories private during the evaluation process.
2. In the latest version, we have added random suffixes to all @username mentions (e.g., @user becomes @user_x7k2) and implemented a safety check that prevents importing templates to public repositories.
3. If you are using an older version of MCPMark, please either:
   • Pull the latest code immediately, or
   • Manually ensure all GitHub evaluation repositories are set to private.

Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful relationship with the open-source community.

Results and metrics

• Results are organized under ./results/{exp_name}/{model}__{mcp}/run-*/ (JSON + CSV per task).
• Generate a summary with:

# Basic usage
python -m src.aggregators.aggregate_results --exp-name exp

# For k-run experiments with single-run models
python -m src.aggregators.aggregate_results --exp-name exp --k 4 --single-run-models claude-opus-4-1

• Only models with complete results across all tasks and runs are included in the final summary.
• Includes multi-run metrics (pass@k, pass^k) for stability comparisons when k > 1.

---

Model and Tasks

• Model support: MCPMark calls models via LiteLLM — see the LiteLLM docs: LiteLLM Doc. For Anthropic (Claude) extended thinking mode (enabled via --reasoning-effort), we use Anthropic’s native API.
• See docs/introduction.md for details and configuration of supported models in MCPMark.
• To add a new model, edit src/model_config.py. Before adding, check LiteLLM supported models/providers. See LiteLLM Doc.
• Task design principles in docs/datasets/task.md. Each task ships with an automated verify.py for objective, reproducible evaluation, see docs/task.md for details.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome:

1. Add a new task under tasks/<mcp>/<task_suite>/<category_id>/<task_id>/ with meta.json, description.md and verify.py.
2. Ensure local checks pass and open a PR.
3. See docs/contributing/make-contribution.md.
