How do you test multi-step MCP workflows in the Inspector?
0:28
You can test multiple tools in sequence to verify complex workflows. For instance, after using an edit tool to modify a document, you immediately test the read tool to confirm the changes were applied correctly. The Inspector maintains your server's state between tool calls during a single session, so edits persist and you can verify the complete functionality of your MCP server end to end. This is especially valuable for tools that mutate shared state, where you want to confirm not just that one call succeeds but that subsequent reads see the expected effects.
