## Notes

- **Gateway Base URL**: Set `export GW_URL=http://your-gateway:4444` for remote gateways
- **Authentication**: Use Bearer token in format: `Authorization: Bearer $MCPGATEWAY_BEARER_TOKEN`
- **JWT Token Generation**: Can also be done inside Docker container: `docker exec mcpgateway python3 -m mcpgateway.utils.create_jwt_token -u admin@example.com -e 10080 --secret my-test-key`
- **Time Servers**: The time server gateways are used throughout testing as reference implementations
- **Gateway Tool Separator**: Default is `__` (double underscore) between gateway name and tool name, but newer versions may use `-`
- **Status Column**: Check ☐ when test passes, add ✗ if test fails with failure reason
- **Pipe Character**: The `\|` in commands represents the pipe character - remove the backslash when copying
- **jq**: Install with `apt-get install jq` or `brew install jq` for JSON formatting
- **MCP Servers**: Start each MCP server on its designated port before registering as gateway
- **VS Code**: Reload window after changing MCP configuration in settings.json
- **AI Agents**: Ensure you have API keys configured for LLM providers when testing agents
