Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed over Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, yet the benchmarks used to evaluate them score the final answer or a fixed "ground-truth" list of tools, both of which are fragile once the underlying data is live and stateful. We present DynamicMCPBench, a reusable framework rather than a fixed dataset. A practitioner can run it on their own MCP servers to test models on their own tasks, or let it collect servers automatically to measure a model's general ability to solve agentic tasks. Given the servers and any set of models, it generates realistic goals, pursues each one live to record a successful trajectory, distills that trajectory into path-agnostic effect checkpoints, and scores an agent on whether it reproduces those effects, never on the final answer. To show what the framework reveals, we run it at scale: 24 models over 121 servers and 750 tasks spread evenly over 15 task categories (50 each), where each category targets a distinct tool-use challenge of the generated questions. Each task is scored by pass^3: it counts as solved only if all three independent attempts succeed. Even the strongest agents solve only about half of the tasks, 31% of tasks are solved by no model at all, and accuracy collapses as the required tool chain grows longer (from 39% on the shortest chains to 13% on the longest). A human validation study confirms the automatic scoring is reliable (chance-corrected agreement of 0.76). DynamicMCPBench thus turns benchmark construction into something practitioners can rerun on their own servers and models, while exposing a consistent inability of current agents to handle long, multi-step agentic tasks.
