About ContextQA MCP Server
Connect your ContextQA account to any AI agent and take full control of your context-aware AI testing platform through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple ContextQA tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the 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 & Suite Management — List bounded test environments and perform structural extraction of GUI test suites across your projects
- AI-Healing Executions — Monitor active test runs and inspect specific AI-healing states, including failing step boundaries and screen captures
- Automated Triggers — Dispatch live testing commands to queue suites against ContextQA test clusters directly from your workspace
- API & Swagger Testing — Enumerate automated HTTP assertions and explicitly verify structural payloads against OpenAPI configurations
- Environment Auditing — List physical runtime URLs and group active contexts to verify testing boundaries across different layers
- Test Case Inspection — Resolve AI root-cause models and validate specific case definitions to identify precise points of failure
The ContextQA 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.
