Check Test Case Details in VS Code Copilot

A developer needs deep details on a single test case? Use `get_test_case`. The information—the full data payload for one case—appears right in the Copilot Chat, letting you quickly copy IDs or status fields. You can also use `list_folders` to narrow down your search within the project structure (e.g., finding a specific TEST_PLAN).

List Project Assets via MCP Server

Need an overview of what's in the repo? Use `list_test_cases` to get all test case keys and names from a Jira project key. This helps you build configuration files that encompass every available test. Or, use `list_environments` to ensure your deployment scripts account for Staging or Production.

View Execution History with VS Code Copilot

If a feature broke last week, you need the proof. Call `list_executions`. This pulls all test runs in the project so you can see historical data and compare current failures against past cycles. Use `get_test_execution` to drill down into one specific run for maximum detail.
