As Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers emerge as the core infrastructure for connecting LLMs with external tools, existing benchmarks leverage real-world MCP servers to evaluate LLM agents' tool-using capabilities. However, these benchmarks overlook the continuous evolution of tool interfaces and functionalities within MCP servers, resulting in flawed assessments that fail to capture the agent's adaptability in changing tool landscapes. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{MCPEvol-Bench}, a novel benchmark for evaluating the task-solving capabilities of LLM agents under dynamic toolset evolution. Inspired by large-scale empirical study, we propose 11 mutation operators to simulate realistic tool evolution within 123 MCP servers. We benchmark 12 state-of-the-art LLMs on multiple versions of MCP servers, revealing that even frontier models struggle to adapt to evolving tools. For instance, GPT-5.4 and Claude-Sonnet-4-6 exhibit performance declines of 13.7\% and 14.4\% in evolved MCP servers, respectively, accompanied by substantial increases in planning and reasoning errors. These findings highlight the vulnerability of LLM-driven workflows, establishing MCPEvol-Bench as a standard for evaluating agent adaptability in dynamic tool environments.
