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.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Applitools tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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- Actionable Maintenance — Authorize the agent to delete outdated baselines or discard legacy batches to keep your workspace clean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 Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
