Debug failing specs right in Claude Desktop

The `get_instance` tool pulls full details of a failing Cypress spec file straight into your Claude Desktop chat window. You get error messages, browser configurations, and direct links to screenshots or videos of the broken test. Instead of jumping back and forth between your terminal and the browser, ask Claude Desktop to inspect the failure. It uses `get_tests` to pinpoint individual failing test titles and their exact run durations.

Track down flaky and slow runs with Claude Desktop

The `report_flaky` tool exposes intermittent test failures directly to your Claude Desktop client. Your agent analyzes the flake rates and last flake dates to separate real bugs from environment issues. You can also call `report_slow` to list the slowest tests in your suite using average and p95 run times. This lets Claude Desktop pinpoint exactly where your test suite is bottlenecked without leaving the app interface.

Dig into project history via this MCP Server

The `get_runs` tool lists recent Cypress Cloud test runs directly inside your Claude Desktop workspace. You can quickly see which branches are failing, check CI build IDs, and monitor run durations. If you manage multiple test suites, this MCP Server uses `list_projects` to match project IDs with their respective organizations. This keeps your local Claude Desktop agent mapped to the correct test environments automatically.
