About PractiTest MCP Server
Connect your PractiTest workspaces to any AI agent and empower it to orchestrate the entire QA lifecycle from physical requirements tracing to defect mapping natively via chat conversations.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple PractiTest tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste 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
- Test Cases & Sets — Tell the AI to investigate any Test Case or Test Set, discovering exact preconditions and expected results (
list_tests,get_test,list_sets) - Test Instances & Runs — Retrieve deep execution histories pinpointing exactly which step caused a regression bounding PASSED/FAILED statuses (
list_runs) - Requirements Tracking — Audit physical system compliance extracting arrays dictating QA delivery thresholds (
list_requirements) - Issue Mapping — Find exact Software Defects bound natively to QA traces verifying complex failure logic (
list_issues)
The PractiTest 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.

Why Use Windsurf with the PractiTest MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with PractiTest through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
PractiTest + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the PractiTest MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from PractiTest and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query PractiTest tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from PractiTest and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine PractiTest data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes

These 10 tools become available when you connect PractiTest to Windsurf via MCP:
get_set
Get full details of a PractiTest test set including name, status, instances count, and execution summary
get_test
Get full details of a PractiTest test case including name, description, preconditions, steps, expected results, custom fields, and requirement links
list_custom_fields
List all custom fields in a PractiTest project. Returns field names, types, applicable entities, and possible values
list_instances
List all test instances in a PractiTest test set. Instances are test-set-specific copies of test cases. Returns instance IDs, test references, and last run statuses
list_issues
List all issues (defects) in a PractiTest project. Returns issue names, statuses, severities, and linked test references
list_requirements
List all requirements in a PractiTest project. Requirements provide traceability to test cases and defects. Returns names, statuses, and linked test counts
list_runs
List all runs for a PractiTest test instance. Runs record actual test execution results. Returns run IDs, statuses (PASSED/FAILED/BLOCKED/NOT_RUN/N_A), durations, and timestamps
list_sets
List all test sets in a PractiTest project. Test sets group test instances for execution. Returns set names, statuses, planned/actual dates, and assigned testers
list_tests
List all test cases in a PractiTest project. PractiTest is an end-to-end test management platform with traceability from requirements to defects. Returns test names, IDs, statuses, custom fields, and traceability links. Uses JSON:API format
list_users
List all users in the PractiTest account. Returns user names, emails, roles, and statuses
Example Prompts for PractiTest in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with PractiTest immediately.
"List all tests inside our active QA regression instance and find the ones mapped as failed."

PractiTest + Windsurf FAQ
Common questions about integrating PractiTest MCP Server with Windsurf.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.Connect PractiTest with your favorite client
