 ## Quick Start
 
-### 0. Configure the Judge LLM
-
-MCPChecker uses an LLM to verify test results. Set these environment variables before running tests, for instance with OpenAI:
-
-```bash
-export JUDGE_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
-export JUDGE_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
-export JUDGE_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-```
-
-The judge LLM evaluates whether the agent completed tasks correctly by analyzing the agent's output.

-### 4. Configure Judge LLM
-
-MCPChecker uses an LLM to verify test results. Set these environment variables:
-
-```bash
-export JUDGE_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
-export JUDGE_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
-export JUDGE_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-```
-
-**Why a judge LLM?** Testing AI agents requires flexible verification. Instead of exact string matching, we use an LLM to verify if the output is semantically correct.
-
-For example, instead of checking for the exact string "Fedora Linux 43", the judge checks if the output "contains information about the operating system". This allows the test to pass even if the formatting varies, as long as the required information is present.
-
-Each verification step includes a `reason` explaining what the judge is checking, which helps with debugging when tests fail.
