About Testim MCP Server
Connect your Testim project to any AI agent and bring your automated end-to-end testing orchestration directly into your workflow via natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Testim 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
- Automated AI Tests — Browse your entire test suite, retrieve detailed test steps, and manually trigger specific tests or entire scheduled plans
- Suite & Label Runs — Execute dynamic batches by triggering runs associated with specific labels or grouped within precise test suites
- Execution Diagnostics — Pull pass/fail statuses, trace errors, and review specific execution logs immediately after a deployment
- Branch Management — Check parallel development efforts by listing, creating, and even merging automated test branches without opening the Testim GUI
The Testim 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.
