Stream Applitools batches with Vercel AI SDK
You want your users to see visual test results without staring at a loading spinner. Hooking up this MCP Server lets you fetch that data live. Call `list_batches` to grab the latest test runs from Eyes. Pass those IDs right into `get_batch_stats`. Your agent streams the passed, failed, and unresolved counts straight into your Svelte or Vue UI components as they arrive.
Inspect test sessions live
High-level stats rarely cut it when a build turns red. Your custom dashboard needs the exact failure points. You can pull the full breakdown by passing the batch and session IDs to `get_session`. Combine that with `list_results` to show the exact visual diffs. The agent fetches the raw test data in the background and pipes it to the client side without blocking the main thread.
Manage baselines directly from the UI
Sometimes a button moves on purpose. You need a way to approve those new visual states without forcing users to log into another dashboard. Fetch the current environments using `list_baselines`. If a design changed intentionally, your agent can fire off `delete_baseline` to clear the old reference. It happens right from your custom frontend.
