Evidence · MCP Inspector

Inspector 2.11.0 listed geocode_city and get_forecast on the existing FastMCP weather server and called both (Berlin 52.52437, 13.41053; 8.6°C). It did not build or deploy a server. The npm 1.0.2 CLI crashed on a missing package.json. Evidence: evidence/2026-10-16/batch3/mcp-inspector/.

Evidence · MCP TypeScript SDK

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.32.1 weather server, two tools, stdio in 2.08s. Same live result. No remote host. Evidence: evidence/2026-10-16/mcp5/mcp-typescript-sdk/.
