How to Use the ContextQA MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I link ContextQA to my Windsurf setup?

Open your mcpconfig.json file and add the server settings there. Once saved, refresh the MCP panel in Windsurf and your agent will start seeing the available tools.

Q: Can I use ContextQA to debug Windsurf test failures?

Absolutely. Use getexecution to pull the status of a specific run and feed that back to your agent. It identifies the exact point of failure so you can fix it.

Cascade chains ContextQA tools to validate your test suites and trigger live runs directly inside Windsurf.

Perplexity

Run automated tests from Windsurf

Cascade can call `trigger_run` to kick off your test pipelines without you switching windows. You just state the goal and watch the agent pipe the output back into your current session. This MCP Server handles the heavy lifting of tracking states. Your agent uses `get_execution` to see exactly what happened during the last pass.

Map test environments in Windsurf

Use `list_environments` to see every target layer currently active in your infrastructure. It keeps your workspace synced with the actual state of your testing environment. Windsurf pulls in your project mapping with `get_project` so you never lose track of where your tests live. The agent knows the boundaries of your system before it writes a single line of code.

Extract API configurations for Windsurf

Stop digging through docs and let `list_api_tests` pull your REST and OpenAPI configs. You get the raw structure right inside your editor, ready for inspection. Your agent uses `list_suites` to grab the test payloads you need. It puts the data exactly where you want it, making your manual testing tasks feel like background noise.
