About Percy MCP Server

Inject precision quality assurance workflows directly bounding LLM models via the Percy Visual Testing API (by BrowserStack). Programmatically verify pixel regressions executing queries evaluating visual boundaries natively across target projects. Inspect deep status arrays parsing CI build limits dynamically, extract metrics evaluating granular snapshot checkpoints asynchronously, and force immediate test baseline approvals seamlessly directly from explicit prompt commands naturally.

Claude Desktop is the definitive way to connect Percy to your AI workflow. Add Vinkius Edge URL to your config, restart the app, and Claude immediately exposes all 10 tools in the chat interface. ask a question, Claude calls the right tool, and you see the answer. Zero code, zero context switching.

What you can do

  • Project Navigation — Read bounded parameters tracking Percy deployments isolating configurations determining explicitly specific active QA targets natively
  • Automated Build Oversight — Track specific arrays extracting dynamic checks returning pipeline checkpoints (approved/failed/unreviewed limits) explicitly seamlessly
  • Visual Snapshot Operations — Log natively extracting bounds verifying comparison properties logging rendering differences mapping exact explicit width constraints
  • Baseline Affirmations — Mutate bounding loops forcing active execution of JSON logic structurally bypassing native clicks allowing test approvals implicitly (approve_build or approve_snapshot)

The Percy MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Desktop in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Desktop with the Percy MCP Server

Claude Desktop by Anthropic provides unique advantages when paired with Percy through the Model Context Protocol.

01

Claude Desktop is the reference MCP client. it was designed alongside the protocol itself, ensuring the most complete and stable MCP implementation available

02

Zero-code configuration: add a server URL to a JSON file and Claude instantly discovers and exposes all available tools in the chat interface

03

Claude's extended thinking capability lets it reason through multi-step tool usage, chaining multiple API calls to answer complex questions

04

Enterprise-grade security with local config storage. your tokens never leave your machine, and connections go directly to Vinkius Edge network

Percy + Claude Desktop Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Claude Desktop combined with the Percy MCP Server delivers measurable value.

01

Interactive data exploration: ask Claude to query DNS records, look up WHOIS data, and cross-reference results in a single conversation

02

Ad-hoc security audits: type a domain name and let Claude enumerate subdomains, check DNS history, and flag configuration anomalies. all through natural language

03

Executive briefings: generate comprehensive domain intelligence reports by asking Claude to compile findings into a formatted summary

04

Learning and training: new team members can explore API capabilities conversationally without needing to read documentation

Percy MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (10)

These 10 tools become available when you connect Percy to Claude Desktop via MCP:

01

approve_build

/approve` moving the test suite to green. Approve all unreviewed snapshots in a Percy build. Marks the entire build as visually approved for deployment

02

approve_snapshot

Approve a single Percy snapshot. Marks it as visually correct, updating the baseline for future comparisons

03

get_build_details

Get full details of a Percy build including state, total/unreviewed snapshot counts, approved/rejected snapshots, branch, commit SHA, and finalized timestamp

04

get_project_details

Get full details of a Percy project including name, slug, default branch, auto-approve enabled, browser targets, and build count

05

get_snapshot_details

Get full details of a Percy snapshot including name, review state, widths, fingerprint, and comparison count

06

list_browsers

List all supported browser families on Percy. Returns browser names, versions, and OS combinations for cross-browser visual testing

07

list_builds

List builds for a Percy project. Each build contains snapshots from a test run. Returns build IDs, states (processing/finished/failed), branch names, commit SHAs, and snapshot counts

08

list_comparisons

List visual comparisons for a Percy snapshot. Each comparison shows the diff between baseline and head at a specific width/browser. Returns diff images, diff percentages, and browser info

09

list_projects

List all projects on Percy (BrowserStack). Percy is the leading visual regression testing platform that captures snapshots and detects pixel-level UI differences across builds. Uses JSON:API format. Returns project names, slugs, and browser configs

10

list_snapshots

List snapshots in a Percy build. Each snapshot is a captured page/component at specific widths and browsers. Returns snapshot names, review states (unreviewed/approved/rejected), and diff percentages

Example Prompts for Percy in Claude Desktop

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Desktop agent to start working with Percy immediately.

01

"Log explicitly the builds targeting structural limits seamlessly isolating project 'org-slug/my-app' dynamically checking bounding states natively."

Troubleshooting Percy MCP Server with Claude Desktop

Common issues when connecting Percy to Claude Desktop through the Vinkius, and how to resolve them.

01

Server not appearing after restart

Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
02

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
03

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.

Percy + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Percy MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

01

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
02

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
03

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
04

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
05

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
