+# Bug Report: Issue #16044 — Create Declarative Agent with MCP Server
+
+## Issue
+[#16044](https://github.com/OfficeDev/microsoft-365-agents-toolkit/issues/16044)
+
+## Test Script
+`packages/tests/copilot-test/src/create-da-with-mcp-server.test.ts`
+
+## Summary
+
+The "Create Declarative Agent with MCP Server" feature is not implemented in either
+the VS Code extension wizard or the ATK CLI. All five test cases that exercise the
+feature fail because the underlying product capability does not exist.
+
+---
+
+## TC-001 / TC-002: VS Code wizard — create DA with remote MCP server
+
+### Expected behaviour (from test plan)
+After invoking `fx-extension.create`, the wizard must present:
+1. A **"Teams Agents and Apps"** category selector.
+2. An **"Agent"** type selector.
+3. A **"Declarative Agent"** variant selector.
+4. An **"Add an Action"** option for the DA template path.
+5. A **"Start with a MCP server"** action-source option.
+6. An MCP URL InputBox (prompt contains "MCP").
+7. A workspace folder picker and an application-name InputBox.
+
+After completion the scaffolded project must contain:
+- `m365agents.yml`
+- `appPackage/manifest.json`
+- `appPackage/declarativeAgent.json`
+- `.vscode/mcp.json` (containing the supplied MCP URL)
+
+### Actual behaviour
+Steps 4 and 5 of the wizard do not exist. The CI log shows:
+
+```
+waitForTextThenScreenshot: "Add an Action" not found
+Signal timeout: clickText:Add an Action
+waitForTextThenScreenshot: "Start with a MCP server" not found
+Signal timeout: clickText:Start with a MCP server
+waitForTextThenScreenshot: "MCP" not found
+```
+
+The wizard never progresses past "Declarative Agent". No project is scaffolded;
+`waitForProjectDir` returns an empty string for both TC-001 and TC-002.
+
+---
+
+## TC-003: CLI non-interactive — create DA with remote MCP server (happy path)
+
+### Expected behaviour
+```
+atk new -c declarative-agent --with-plugin yes --api-plugin-type mcp \
+        --mcp-server-type remote --mcp-da-server-url <url> \
+        -n <name> -f <outDir> --interactive false
+```
+must exit with code 0 and scaffold the same four required files.
+
+### Actual behaviour
+The CLI exits with code **-1** (spawn failure or unrecognised command/flags).
+Both stdout and stderr are empty, indicating the `--api-plugin-type mcp`,
+`--mcp-server-type`, and `--mcp-da-server-url` flags are not supported.
+No project files are created in the output directory.
+
+---
+
+## TC-004: CLI non-interactive error — missing `--mcp-da-server-url`
+
+### Expected behaviour
+When `--mcp-da-server-url` is omitted and `--interactive false` is set, the CLI
+must exit non-zero **and** include the token `mcp-da-server-url` (or equivalent)
+in its error output so callers can identify the missing parameter.
+
+### Actual behaviour
+The CLI exits non-zero (exit=-1, same as TC-003), but stdout and stderr are both
+**empty**. The error output contains no reference to `mcp-da-server-url`.
+
+---
+
+## TC-005: CLI non-interactive error — missing `--mcp-da-auth-type`
+
+### Expected behaviour
+When a tools-file is provided but `--mcp-da-auth-type` is omitted and
+`--interactive false` is set, the CLI must exit non-zero **and** include
+`mcp-da-auth-type` (or equivalent) in its error output.
+
+### Actual behaviour
+The CLI exits non-zero (exit=-1), but stdout and stderr are both **empty**.
+The error output contains no reference to `mcp-da-auth-type`.
+
+---
+
+## Root cause assessment
+
+The "DA with MCP Server" scaffold capability is not yet implemented in:
+- **VS Code extension**: the `fx-extension.create` wizard does not offer an
+  "Add an Action → Start with a MCP server" path for Declarative Agents.
+- **CLI (`atk new`)**: the flags `--api-plugin-type mcp`, `--mcp-server-type`,
+  `--mcp-da-server-url`, and `--mcp-da-auth-type` are unrecognised; the command
+  produces no output and exits with code -1.
+
+## Affected test cases
+| TC | Title | Failure mode |
+|----|-------|--------------|
+| TC-001 | VS Code wizard (no odr.exe) | Wizard steps "Add an Action" / "Start with a MCP server" not found; no project scaffolded |
+| TC-002 | VS Code wizard (odr.exe path) | Same as TC-001 |
+| TC-003 | CLI happy path | CLI exits -1; flags unrecognised; no files created |
+| TC-004 | CLI error — missing URL | CLI exits -1 with empty output; no `mcp-da-server-url` in error message |
+| TC-005 | CLI error — missing auth type | CLI exits -1 with empty output; no `mcp-da-auth-type` in error message |

+# Test Plan: Create Declarative Agent With MCP Server
+
+## Metadata
+
+- **feature-slug**: `create-da-with-mcp-server`
+- **owner**: atk-qa
+- **created**: 2026-05-28
+- **updated**: 2026-05-28
+- **triggers**: issue-label `atk-copilot-test`, manual
+- **scenario-id**: SCN-DA-CREATE-WITH-MCP-SERVER
+- **related-scenario**: docs/01-product/scenarios/da/create-da-with-mcp-server.md
+
+## Scope
+
+**Covers:**
+- TC-001: VS Code happy path — create a DA project with a remote MCP server action (no `odr.exe`)
+- TC-002: VS Code happy path — create a DA project with a remote MCP server action (`odr.exe` present, user chooses Remote)
+- TC-003: CLI non-interactive happy path — create DA project with `--api-plugin-type mcp` and `--mcp-da-server-url`
+- TC-004: CLI non-interactive error path — missing `--mcp-da-server-url` when `--api-plugin-type mcp`
+- TC-005: CLI non-interactive error path — missing `--mcp-da-auth-type` when tools file provided and auth is required
+- TC-006: VS Code cancellation path — cancel before project generation leaves no partial project
+
+**Does NOT cover:**
+- Local MCP server path via `odr.exe` (covered separately when odr integration is stable)
+- `SCN-DA-ADD-MCP-ACTION-TO-DA` (post-create CodeLens flow)
+- `SCN-DA-FETCH-MCP-TOOLS` (tool discovery follow-up)
+- Visual Studio and chat surfaces
+- CLI interactive create flow (separate plan)
+- OAuth / Entra SSO authentication type selection in detail (covered by auth-specific plans)
+
+---
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### TC-001 – VS Code: Create DA with remote MCP server (no odr.exe, happy path)
+
+**Preconditions:**
+- VS Code is open with no project loaded
+- ATK extension v6.8.0+ is installed and activated
+- `odr.exe` is **not** present on the machine (MCP Server Type prompt is skipped)
+- Network allows connection to a test remote MCP server URL
+
+**Wizard flow (verified against ATK create flow for DA + MCP):**

+### TC-004 – CLI non-interactive error: missing `--mcp-da-server-url`
+
+**Preconditions:**
+- ATK CLI is installed and available as `atk`
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Open a terminal.
+2. Run the following command (intentionally omitting `--mcp-da-server-url`):
+   ```
+   atk new -c declarative-agent --with-plugin yes --api-plugin-type mcp --mcp-server-type remote -n test-da-mcp-err-001 -f ~/atk-test-out --interactive false
+   ```
+3. Observe the command exits with a non-zero status code.
+4. Take screenshot of the terminal showing the error message.
+5. Verify that the error message in stdout/stderr references the missing `--mcp-da-server-url` option (or `mcp-da-server-url` parameter).
+6. Verify that no project folder was created at `~/atk-test-out/test-da-mcp-err-001`.
+
+**Expected result:**
+- CLI exits with a non-zero status code.
+- Error output references the missing MCP server URL parameter.
+- No partial project folder is created.
+
+**Pass criteria:**
+- CLI exit code is non-zero (e.g., `1`).
+- stderr or stdout contains `mcp-da-server-url` or equivalent missing-option message.
+- `~/atk-test-out/test-da-mcp-err-001` does not exist.

+
+### TC-005 – CLI non-interactive error: missing `--mcp-da-auth-type` when tools file is provided
+
+**Preconditions:**
+- ATK CLI is installed and available as `atk`
+- A valid MCP tools JSON file exists at `~/atk-test-out/tools.json` (can be a minimal valid JSON: `{"tools": [{"name": "search", "description": "Search the web"}]}`)
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Open a terminal.
+2. Create a minimal tools JSON file:
+   ```
+   echo '{"tools":[{"name":"search","description":"Search the web"}]}' > ~/atk-test-out/tools.json
+   ```
+3. Run the following command (tools file provided but `--mcp-da-auth-type` omitted, simulating a server that requires auth):
+   ```
+   atk new -c declarative-agent --with-plugin yes --api-plugin-type mcp --mcp-server-type remote --mcp-da-server-url https://mcpauth.example.com/sse --mcp-tools-file-path ~/atk-test-out/tools.json -n test-da-mcp-auth-001 -f ~/atk-test-out --interactive false
+   ```
+4. Observe the terminal output. If the server at `mcpauth.example.com` is unreachable and auth detection is skipped, note that this path may generate the project with a warning. Otherwise, observe the CLI exits with a non-zero status.
+5. Take screenshot of the terminal output.
+6. If the CLI exits non-zero, verify the error message references the missing `--mcp-da-auth-type` or authentication type option.
+
+**Expected result:**
+- When the CLI detects the server requires authentication and `--mcp-da-auth-type` is not supplied, it exits with a non-zero status and an error message referencing the missing auth type.
+- Alternatively (if auth detection is skipped because server is unreachable), the CLI generates the project with a warning hint.
+
+**Pass criteria:**
+- If auth is probed and required: CLI exit code is non-zero; stderr/stdout contains `mcp-da-auth-type` or equivalent.
+- If auth detection is skipped: CLI exit code is `0` and a warning is printed containing `atk add action`.
