About Applitools MCP Server
Connect your Applitools Eyes testing suite to your AI agent and manage your entire visual regression pipeline without opening the dashboard. Allow your agent to spot UI changes, validate baselines, and assess testing health dynamically.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Applitools tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Batch Observability — Query active test batches to view aggregated statuses (Passed, Failed, Unresolved) and completion rates
- Session & Results analysis — Drill down into specific test sessions to examine failed step images, match levels, and browser differences
- Baseline Management — List your "golden" graphical baselines bound to applications or specific Git branches
- Actionable Maintenance — Authorize the agent to delete outdated baselines or discard legacy batches to keep your workspace clean
- Key Validation — Ensure connectivity against your visual AI engine before pipeline triggers
The Applitools MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the Applitools MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Applitools through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Applitools tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign Applitools tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Applitools tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Applitools tool responses in an isolated environment
Applitools + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Applitools MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Applitools while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Applitools, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Applitools data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Applitools responses in a sandboxed execution environment
Applitools MCP Tools for AutoGen (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Applitools to AutoGen via MCP:
delete_baseline
Use when a baseline is outdated or a page has been redesigned. Delete an Applitools test baseline
delete_batch
Does NOT affect baselines. Use with caution — this is irreversible. Delete an Applitools test batch
get_batch
Use batch ID from list_batches. Get full details of an Applitools batch
get_batch_stats
Returns passed/failed/unresolved/new counts without full test data. Get summary statistics for an Applitools batch
get_session
Provide batch ID and session ID. Get details of a test session within an Applitools batch
list_baselines
Returns baseline IDs, names, and env configs. Filter by app name. List visual baselines for an app on Applitools
list_batches
Batches group related test sessions. Returns batch IDs, names, statuses (Passed/Unresolved/Failed), and test counts. Each batch has a unique ID used to query its results. List all test batches on Applitools Eyes
list_branch_baselines
Use to inspect branch-specific visual states. List baselines for a specific branch on Applitools
list_results
List all test results in an Applitools batch
validate_key
Use to verify connectivity before running tests. Validate the Applitools API key
Example Prompts for Applitools in AutoGen
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your AutoGen agent to start working with Applitools immediately.
"List the most recent visual test batches in Applitools."
"Get me the exact session results for our unresolved batch ID b_991x."
"List the baselines assigned specifically to fixing the 'feature/dark-mode-header' branch."
