About gapproof
gapproof is a local repository test-gap analyzer for developers. It uses documented heuristics to link tests to functions, record passing runs, and calculate a combined coverage score; it is also available as an MCP server and CLI.
Key features
- 01Heuristic source function extraction
- 02Name-based test linking
- 03Record passing and failing runs
- 04Combined linked and proven score
- 05Requirement IDs from comments
- 06Export evidence pack
Use cases
- 01Find functions not mentioned by tests
- 02Track passing test runs locally
- 03Review changed-file test impact
- 04Export coverage and gap evidence
MCP support
Exposes repository analysis, test-gap, scoring, run-recording, impact, and evidence tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEgapproof
gapproof is a local test-gap analysis tool for a code repository. It walks the sources, extracts the functions it finds, checks which of them are mentioned by a test, and reports the gaps: functions no test appears to cover. Recorded test runs add a second, stronger signal — a function named by a passing run (directly, or through the test that links it) counts as proven, not just linked — and the two signals combine into a single coverage score.
This package is a clean-room rebuild, and a labelled core subset:
it covers 12 of the 18 tools documented for the original Orangepro
MCP server (orangepro_*). The omitted tools are listed under
"Scope" below.
How it works — honestly
There is no AST, no parser, and no network call anywhere. The engine is a set of documented heuristics:
- Walk. Starting at the given root, it skips
node_modules,.git,dist, and dot-directories. Files ending in.ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx, or.pyare classified as tests when they live undertest/,tests/, or__tests__/, or are named*.test.*,*.spec.*,test_*.py, or*_test.py; all others are sources. - Extraction (regex). TypeScript/JavaScript:
function name(,export function name(, andconst name = (...) =>(alsolet/var, thefunctionkeyword form, and an optionalasync). Python:def name(. A Python name not starting with_counts as exported; a TS/JS name counts as exported when declared withexport. - Linking. A function is linked when its name appears as a word in some test file's content.
- Proving.
orangepro_record_runappends a run (test,outcome: "pass" | "fail", optionalfunctions) to the persisted graph. A function is proven when a passing run names the function, or names a test file / test case that links it. - Score.
60% × linked ratio + 40% × proven ratio, reported on a 0–100 scale with one decimal place. - RTM. Requirement ids matching
[A-Z]+-\d+are read from source comments only (//,/* … */,#) and associated with the functions defined in the same file.
State lives in one file: <root>/.gapproof/graph.json, written by
orangepro_start and orangepro_record_run. Everything else reads
the repository (and that graph, when runs matter) without writing.
Install
npx @reneturcios/gapproof orangepro_start '{"root":"/path/to/repo"}'
Or run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/gapproof
The container defaults to the MCP server. Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead. No API key is needed — the original's optional model key only powers its AI test-generation tools, which this subset omits.
CLI
The CLI mirrors the tools: one subcommand per tool, taking its arguments as a single JSON object.
gapproof orangepro_start '{"root":"/path/to/repo"}'
gapproof orangepro_analyze_sources '{"root":"/path/to/repo"}'
gapproof orangepro_find_test_gaps '{"root":"/path/to/repo","limit":10}'
gapproof orangepro_status '{"root":"/path/to/repo"}'
gapproof orangepro_record_run '{"root":"/path/to/repo","test":"math.test","outcome":"pass"}'
gapproof orangepro_export_evidence_pack '{"root":"/path/to/repo"}'
gapproof --version
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an analysis or validation error,
2 for usage errors.
MCP server
One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP
server:
npx -y @reneturcios/gapproof mcp
MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gapproof": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/gapproof", "mcp"]
}
}
}
Tools
All tools take root (the repository path) unless noted.
| Tool | Extra input | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
orangepro_start | — | Analyzes the repo, persists .gapproof/graph.json (preserving recorded runs), and returns {root, sources, functions, tests, linked, unlinked} counts. |
orangepro_analyze_sources | — | The same walk without persisting: per-file function lists plus the total function count. |
orangepro_find_test_gaps | limit (optional) | Unlinked functions as [{function, file, exported}], exported first, then in file order. |
orangepro_status | — | With a persisted graph: {exists: true, generated_at, counts}. Without one: {exists: false} plus a fresh, unstored snapshot. |
orangepro_doctor | — | {root_exists, has_manifest, source_files, test_files, issues}; a manifest is package.json or pyproject.toml at the root. |
orangepro_graph_score | — | {score, linked_ratio, proven_ratio, functions} — 60% linked + 40% proven. |
orangepro_stats | — | {files, functions, tests, test_files, linked, unlinked, proven, runs}. tests counts individual test cases; test_files counts files. |
orangepro_rtm | — | [{id, functions, covered}] for requirement ids found in source comments; covered means every associated function is linked. Empty when no ids appear. |
orangepro_changed_impact | files (required array) | {changed_functions, affected_tests, unlinked_changed} for the given repo-relative changed files. |
orangepro_record_run | test, outcome (required), functions (optional) | Appends a run to the graph (running a fresh analysis first when no graph exists) and returns {recorded: true, runs_total}. |
orangepro_explain_test | test (required) | Locates a test file by name substring and returns {test, file, linked_functions, proven_functions, content_excerpt} (excerpt ≤ 400 chars). |
orangepro_export_evidence_pack | — | {generated_at, root, score, stats, gaps, runs}, returned to the caller — nothing is written. |
Scope
Omitted from this core subset: orangepro_prove_loop,
orangepro_prove, orangepro_generate_tests,
orangepro_update_graph, orangepro_ai_links, and
orangepro_ai_flows. Those are the original's proof-execution and
AI-assisted tools; the AI flows need a model key in the original.
This subset reproduces the local analysis surface only, with the
heuristic limits stated above: name-based linking can miss indirect
coverage and can credit a coincidental mention, and comment-based
RTM extraction only sees ids written in comments.
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc -> dist/
npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, in-memory fixture repo, no network, no disk
npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
