How to Use the Applitools MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I delete stale Applitools baselines with Claude Code?

Yes, Claude Code calls deletebaseline to remove outdated visual baselines from Applitools. This lets you manage your visual regression suites using simple terminal commands.

Q: How do I add the Applitools MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http applitools-mcp -- in your terminal. This command registers the MCP Server within your local /.claude.json configuration for easy access.

Q: Is there a way to verify my Applitools API key via Claude Code?

Yes, the Claude Code agent runs validatekey to check your Applitools credentials. That's why the agent verifies active connectivity to the Eyes API before you start querying test runs.

Run Applitools visual regression audits and manage baselines directly from your terminal with Claude Code.

Audit Applitools batches from the Claude Code CLI

The `list_batches` tool fetches your recent Applitools visual test runs directly into your Claude Code terminal session. Claude Code parses this list, showing you which builds passed and which require manual review. You can pipe this output to other terminal utilities or let Claude Code use `get_batch_stats` to output a clean summary of passed, failed, and unresolved tests. It replaces the need to open a browser to check your Applitools run status.

Manage visual baselines using this MCP Server

The `list_baselines` tool queries your active Applitools visual test baselines right from the Claude Code command line. When writing deployment scripts, Claude Code can check these baselines to ensure your staging environment matches production expectations. If a deployment introduces a planned redesign, Claude Code uses `delete_baseline` to clear the old layouts from Applitools. This fits perfectly into automated release scripts and CI/CD pipelines.

Debug session failures in Claude Code

The `get_session` tool pulls the exact visual differences and metadata for a specific Applitools test run into your Claude Code shell. Claude Code uses this to print the exact layout mismatch details directly to stdout. By combining this with `list_results`, you can diagnose broken Applitools layouts without leaving your SSH session. It provides a fast way to troubleshoot visual regressions in headless environments.

Setup guide

Set up Applitools MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Open your terminal and run the command shown on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com. Use --scope user to make it available across all projects.
