Bring Qa Testing
to Cursor
Learn how to connect PractiTest to Cursor and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the PractiTest MCP Server?
Empower your AI Agents with full access to your PractiTest workspace. This MCP Server allows AI to manage quality assurance processes, fetching project details, tests, runs, instances, and requirements in real-time. Whether you need to run specific tests or aggregate QA metrics, this integration seamlessly connects PractiTest to AI Agents.
What you can do
List and get details of PractiTest projects. Create and manage tests, test runs, and test instances directly from AI. Fetch requirements to ensure full QA coverage. Automate report generation by pulling live QA data.How it works
1. Subscribe and install the PractiTest integration. 2. Provide your PractiTest API Token. 3. Your AI Agent instantly gains the ability to query, analyze, and manage your testing data.Who is this for?
QA Engineers looking to automate test management through chat. Project Managers tracking software quality without leaving their AI interface. * Developers validating requirements and run results on the fly.Built-in capabilities (11)

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns PractiTest into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from PractiTest and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
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

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI Agent execute tests inside PractiTest?
While the agent cannot run automated testing scripts directly in PractiTest, it can create Test Runs, log results into Instances, and manage the administrative side of QA efficiently.
Are custom fields supported when creating new tests?
Yes! The AI agent formats API requests dynamically. If your workspace requires custom fields, simply instruct the agent on which attributes to include during the test creation.
Is there a limit on how many tests the agent can list at once?
The agent adheres to PractiTest API pagination limits. By default, it returns a single page of results, but you can explicitly ask the AI to query a different page number or limit.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
