💻 Usage Examples

Method 1: Use with Claude Desktop/Code (Recommended)

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop or Claude Code settings. Important: You must use the full absolute path to your project folder.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-zebrunner": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/full/absolute/path/to/mcp-zebrunner/dist/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "ZEBRUNNER_URL": "https://your-company.zebrunner.com/api/public/v1",
        "ZEBRUNNER_LOGIN": "your.email@company.com",
        "ZEBRUNNER_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here",
        "DEBUG": "false",
        "ENABLE_RULES_ENGINE": "true",
        "DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE": "100",
        "MAX_PAGE_SIZE": "100"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example paths:

• Windows: C:\\Users\\YourName\\Projects\\mcp-zebrunner\\dist\\server.js
• macOS/Linux: /Users/YourName/Projects/mcp-zebrunner/dist/server.js

Alternative: Command Line Integration (Claude Code)

You can also add the server using the command line:

claude mcp add mcp-zebrunner \
  --env ZEBRUNNER_URL="https://your-company.zebrunner.com/api/public/v1" \
  --env ZEBRUNNER_LOGIN="your.email@company.com" \
  --env ZEBRUNNER_TOKEN="your_api_token_here" \
  --env DEBUG="false" \
  --env ENABLE_RULES_ENGINE="true" \
  -- node /full/absolute/path/to/mcp-zebrunner/dist/server.js

Important: Replace /full/absolute/path/to/mcp-zebrunner/ with the actual full path to your project folder.

Method 2: Run as standalone server

Development mode (with auto - reload)

npm run dev

Production mode

npm start

Method 3: Smart URL - Based Analysis 🚀

NEW in v5.4.1+: Claude can automatically detect Zebrunner URLs and analyze them with optimal settings!

Just paste a Zebrunner URL in your conversation, and Claude will automatically:

• Parse the URL to extract project, launch, and test IDs
• Call the appropriate analysis tool
• Use recommended settings (videos, screenshots, AI analysis enabled)

📋 Supported URL Patterns

1. Test Analysis URLs

https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/PROJECT/automation-launches/LAUNCH_ID/tests/TEST_ID

What happens:

• Claude automatically calls analyze_test_failure
• Extracts: projectKey, testRunId (launch ID), testId
• Enables: includeVideo: true, analyzeScreenshotsWithAI: true, all diagnostics

Example:

User: "Analyze https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/MCP/automation-launches/120911/tests/5455386"

Claude automatically calls:
{
  projectKey: "MCP",
  testRunId: 120911,
  testId: 5455386,
  includeVideo: true,
  analyzeScreenshotsWithAI: true,
  includeLogs: true,
  includeScreenshots: true,
  analyzeSimilarFailures: true,
  screenshotAnalysisType: "detailed",
  format: "detailed"
}

2. Launch Analysis URLs

https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/PROJECT/automation-launches/LAUNCH_ID

What happens:

• Claude automatically calls detailed_analyze_launch_failures
• Extracts: projectKey, testRunId (launch ID)
• Enables: includeScreenshotAnalysis: true, comprehensive analysis

Example:

User: "Analyze https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/MCP/automation-launches/120911"

Claude automatically calls:
{
  projectKey: "MCP",
  testRunId: 120911,
  filterType: "without_issues",
  includeScreenshotAnalysis: true,
  screenshotAnalysisType: "detailed",
  format: "summary",
  executionMode: "sequential"
}

✨ Advanced Usage

Override Default Settings Claude understands natural language overrides:

User: "Analyze https://...url... but without screenshots"
→ Claude sets: analyzeScreenshotsWithAI: false

User: "Analyze https://...url... in jira format"
→ Claude sets: format: "jira"

User: "Quick analysis of https://...url..."
→ Claude sets: format: "summary", screenshotAnalysisType: "basic"

Multiple URLs Analyze multiple tests/launches in one request:

User: "Compare these failures:
https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/MCP/automation-launches/120911/tests/5455386
https://your-workspace.zebrunner.com/projects/MCP/automation-launches/120911/tests/5455390"

→ Claude analyzes both sequentially and compares results

Cross - Workspace Support ⚠️ URLs from different workspaces will show a warning but still attempt analysis:

User: "Analyze https://other-workspace.zebrunner.com/..."
→ Claude warns: "URL is from 'other-workspace.zebrunner.com' but configured workspace is 'your-workspace.zebrunner.com'"
→ Proceeds with analysis using available credentials

📖 URL Pattern Reference

🎯 Why Use URL - Based Analysis?

✅ Faster: No need to manually specify IDs
✅ Convenient: Copy - paste URLs directly from Zebrunner UI
✅ Optimized: Automatic use of recommended settings
✅ Smart: Claude detects intent and adjusts parameters
✅ Flexible: Natural language overrides work seamlessly

💡 Pro Tips

1. Direct from Zebrunner: Copy URL directly from your browser while viewing a test/launch
2. Batch Analysis: Paste multiple URLs separated by newlines
3. Custom Settings: Add natural language instructions to override defaults
4. Quick Checks: URLs work great for quick "what happened here?" questions
5. Reports: Combine with format requests: "Generate JIRA ticket for https://...url..."
