# Create an eval suite (author-only, does not run)

> Creates a runnable eval suite — the suite record plus its test cases — and responds `201` **synchronously**, WITHOUT executing anything. Use this to author a suite, then run it later with `POST /eval-runs` (passing the returned `suiteId`).

This is distinct from `POST /eval-runs`, which creates a run and **detaches execution**, responding `202` with a `runId`. There is no concurrency cap here (no run is started).

The body uses an ergonomic authoring shape: a suite-level default `model` (and optional `provider`) applies to every test unless the test overrides it; `provider` is derived from a `provider/model` id when neither is supplied. Each test's case body is an ordered `steps` array (prompt / toolCall / interact / assert).

Guest callers are denied (suite creation is a write).

  version: 1.0.0-preview
  description: >-
    Programmatic access to MCP servers saved in your MCPJam projects — live
    diagnostics (validate, inspect, export) and operations: call tools, render
    prompts, run eval suites asynchronously and poll their results, and import
    OAuth tokens.


    **The API is in preview**: the surface may change while we finish the
    design. Error `code` values are stable; error `message` strings are not.
    Write clients that ignore unknown response fields.

      description: >-
        Creates a runnable eval suite — the suite record plus its test cases —
        and responds `201` **synchronously**, WITHOUT executing anything. Use
        this to author a suite, then run it later with `POST /eval-runs`
