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.
Claude Code registers Applitools as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly — ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Applitools data drives decisions without human intervention.
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- Actionable Maintenance — Authorize the agent to delete outdated baselines or discard legacy batches to keep your workspace clean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 Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
