How to Use the BrowserStack MCP in Windsurf
Use BrowserStack inside Windsurf to manage your test builds and debug session failures without leaving the IDE.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect BrowserStack MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect BrowserStack to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Monitor testing pipelines in Windsurf
Cascade pulls your active test data directly into the editor. You can use `list_builds` or `list_projects` to see exactly what is running on the grid right now. Stop switching tabs to check your progress. Windsurf displays the current status of every test run in your workspace.
Debug session failures with Cascade
When a test fails, ask Cascade to fetch the specific error details. It uses `get_session_logs` and `get_session` to pinpoint exactly why a build didn't pass. You get the logs and video URLs immediately. This MCP Server lets your agent see the exact state of the browser during the crash.
Manage BrowserStack resources
Keep your dashboard clean by removing stale data. Use `delete_build` or `delete_session` to clear out old runs that clutter your view. Windsurf tracks your concurrency limits with `get_plan`. You'll know if you are hitting your parallel session caps before you start a new suite.
