via “environment variable exposure and echo via mcp”

A collection of MCP test servers including working servers (ping, resource, combined, env-echo) and test failure cases (broken-tool, crash-on-startup)

Unique: Bridges system environment state into the MCP protocol layer, demonstrating how servers can expose host configuration as a first-class MCP capability rather than hardcoding values

vs others: More realistic than mock servers because it uses actual environment variables, enabling testing of environment-aware client behavior in different deployment contexts
