About BrowserStack MCP Server
Connect your BrowserStack Automate account to any AI agent and take full control of your automated cross-browser testing pipeline through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple BrowserStack tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Project Management — List all test projects and drill down into specific project details
- Build Tracking — Surface your recent automation builds, their statuses (running, failed, passed), and duration
- Session Deep Dive — Retrieve the granular executions of a specific test session, including OS and browser stats
- Log Extraction — Automatically dump and analyze the raw Selenium/Appium logs of a failed session
- Quota & Plan — View your current plan's parallel session usage and testing queue length
- Environment Specs — List all supported OS/browser combinations required to configure your capabilities
The BrowserStack MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
