MCP Server

🚀 TestingBot MCP Server

TestingBot's official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation. This server allows AI assistants to interact with TestingBot's testing infrastructure. You can manage tests, browsers, devices, and more via conversational interfaces.

🚀 Quick Start

To start using the TestingBot MCP Server, you need to meet the following prerequisites and complete the installation steps.

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18 (recommended: 22.15.0 or later)
• A TestingBot Account with API credentials
• An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, VS Code with Continue, Cursor, etc.)

Installation

Quick Setup

You can install the MCP server globally or add it to your project:

# Install globally
npm install -g @testingbot/mcp-server

# Add to your project
npm install @testingbot/mcp-server

Configuration

Set your TestingBot credentials as environment variables or create a .env file:

# Set as environment variables
export TESTINGBOT_KEY="your-api-key"
export TESTINGBOT_SECRET="your-api-secret"

# Or create a .env file
TESTINGBOT_KEY=your-api-key
TESTINGBOT_SECRET=your-api-secret

For specific clients, you need to make corresponding configurations:

• Claude Desktop: Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Windows).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testingbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testingbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TESTINGBOT_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "TESTINGBOT_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

• VS Code (with Continue extension): Add to .continue/config.json.

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "testingbot",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testingbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TESTINGBOT_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "TESTINGBOT_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
      }
    }
  ]
}

• Cursor: Add to .cursor/mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testingbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testingbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TESTINGBOT_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "TESTINGBOT_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors

If you encounter authentication errors:

1. Verify your credentials at https://testingbot.com/members/user/edit.
2. Ensure environment variables are set correctly.
3. Check that there are no extra spaces in your credentials.

Connection Issues

If the MCP server fails to connect:

1. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, etc.).
2. Check the MCP client logs for errors.
3. Verify that the Node.js version is >= 18.

Tool Execution Errors

If tools fail to execute:

1. Check the server logs for detailed error messages.
2. Verify that you have sufficient permissions/quota in your TestingBot account.
3. Ensure that all required parameters are provided.

Debug Logging

To enable debug logging, set the LOG_LEVEL environment variable:

export LOG_LEVEL=debug

Or in your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testingbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testingbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TESTINGBOT_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "TESTINGBOT_SECRET": "your-api-secret",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
      }
    }
  }
}
