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.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Percy into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Percy and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
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 (

Why Use Cursor with the Percy MCP Server
Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Percy through the Model Context Protocol.
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP — no copy-pasting from external dashboards
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Percy + Cursor Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Percy MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP
Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically
Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates
Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data
Percy MCP Tools for Cursor (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Percy to Cursor via MCP:
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
approve_snapshot
Approve a single Percy snapshot. Marks it as visually correct, updating the baseline for future comparisons
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
get_project_details
Get full details of a Percy project including name, slug, default branch, auto-approve enabled, browser targets, and build count
get_snapshot_details
Get full details of a Percy snapshot including name, review state, widths, fingerprint, and comparison count
list_browsers
List all supported browser families on Percy. Returns browser names, versions, and OS combinations for cross-browser visual testing
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
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
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
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 Cursor
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cursor agent to start working with Percy immediately.
"Log explicitly the builds targeting structural limits seamlessly isolating project 'org-slug/my-app' dynamically checking bounding states natively."
"Reverse check explicit structures extracting limits comparing properties cleanly bounding snapshot ID 'snap_778' natively efficiently."
"Force explicit validation mutating boundaries executing structurally an approval across build ID '8910' automatically natively flawlessly securely."
