Run browser tests directly from Claude Desktop

Trigger `run_test` or `run_suite` to start your QA process inside your chat session. You no longer need to switch tabs to verify if your recent code changes broke any UI components. Your agent handles the execution while you keep working on your logic. It waits for the result, allowing you to move to the next task immediately.

Check test history with Claude Desktop

Query `list_test_runs` or `list_suite_runs` to see what happened during your last deployment. This MCP Server fetches real logs so you can pinpoint exactly when a failure occurred. Review specific outcomes using `get_test_run` to see why a check failed. You get the raw data right in the interface, making it simple to debug regressions.

Manage your BugBug project data

Get a bird's-eye view of your testing environment by using `list_projects` and `list_suites`. You can see every active test and project configuration without opening the dashboard. Inspect individual components with `get_test` or `get_suite` to understand their structure. This gives you the context needed to update your tests before they run again.
