A custom MCP server that provides super secret combinations
MCP Basic Test MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on MCP Basic Test directly instead of describing what you should do. A custom MCP server that provides super secret combinations.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation in pure Node.js that provides a fun tool to generate random US State and signature soup combinations.
Once MCP Basic Test is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — 1. Clone the repository: bash git clone git@github.com:gbti-network/mcp-basic-test.git cd mcp-basic-testgetSecretPassphrase — Returns a random combination of a US State and its signature soup. Examples include: - New England Clam Chowder - Louisiana Gumbo - Texas Chili -Logging — The server uses a custom logging system with multiple levels: - DEBUG: Detailed debugging information - INFO: General operational information - WARNInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP Basic Test's toolset — Prerequisites, Installation, getSecretPassphrase and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gbti-network; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
