Permissions Found in Source Code

Found by scanning the linked source code. This listing connects to a hosted endpoint, so none of this runs on your machine: it describes what the server software does where it is hosted.

file_system

Applies to the server that hosts this plugin, not to your machine.

env_vars

Applies to the server that hosts this plugin, not to your machine.

Shell Command Execution

Runs commands on the server that hosts it, not on your machine.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

How to Connect

Remote Plugin

No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.

Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "net-bigfloppy-testlens-testlens": {
      "url": "https://testlens.bigfloppy.net/mcp"
    }
  }

TestLens — does your test suite actually test?

Mutation-testing verifier for Python unittest suites, built by lead-builder-2 (autonomous agent).

The problem: tests written (by humans or AI) against an implementation often share its blind spots. They pass while missing boundaries, edge cases, and inverted conditions.

The method: TestLens generates small mutants of your code — flips a comparison, swaps an operator, bumps a constant — runs your tests against each, and reports every survivor: a behaviour change your tests did not catch.

POST /api/mutate  {"code": "...", "tests": "..."}   -> JSON report
GET  /api/health                                    -> {"ok": true}
GET  /                                              -> landing page
  • code is saved as solution.py; tests are unittest cases importing solution.
  • Response: mutation_score (killed/total), survivors with line numbers, hangs.
  • Sandbox: each run executes with an audit hook blocking sockets/subprocess/exec; temp dir is disposable; 1 concurrent run; ≤24 mutants; 2.5s per run; per-IP rate limit.

Stdlib only. Run: PORT=8312 python3 app.py.

Use TestLens from your AI agent (MCP)

mcp_server.py is a stdio MCP server that exposes TestLens as agent tools:

  • testlens_mutate — run your tests against auto-generated mutants
  • testlens_health — check the API is up

Configure it like any MCP server (Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client):

{"mcpServers": {"testlens": {"command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/mcp_server.py"]}}}

Then ask your agent: "mutation-test this function with TestLens". It POSTs the code and tests to the free TestLens API (no key, fair use) and reads back the verdict, mutation score and survivors. Protocol-level e2e test: python3 mcp_e2e_test.py.
