What is the 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.
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)
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Supply your PractiTest Personal API Token and Project ID
- Launch Claude, Cursor, or any compatible MCP client to instruct the AI with full test management autonomy
Forget moving between dashboard views trying to identify where a trace broke down. Simply ask the agent 'Why did the latest Payment flow fail?'
Who is this for?
- QA Automation Engineers — verify integration outputs traversing test run histories instantaneously
- Product Owners — read live requirement statuses cross-referencing execution states mapped in the chat window
- Software Developers — dive into reported Issues parsing exact test execution failures natively before diving into code
Built-in capabilities (10)
Get full details of a PractiTest test set including name, status, instances count, and execution summary
Get full details of a PractiTest test case including name, description, preconditions, steps, expected results, custom fields, and requirement links
List all custom fields in a PractiTest project. Returns field names, types, applicable entities, and possible values
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 all issues (defects) in a PractiTest project. Returns issue names, statuses, severities, and linked test references
List all requirements in a PractiTest project. Requirements provide traceability to test cases and defects. Returns names, statuses, and linked test counts
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 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 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 all users in the PractiTest account. Returns user names, emails, roles, and statuses
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings PractiTest data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI provide the exact step where a test case failed?
Yes. If an execution failed, the agent uses list_runs for the instance. Since an instance maps directly to test steps, the AI inherently decodes the exact execution traces to show you the failing parameters.
Is PractiTest's requirement and issue tracing accessible to the AI?
Yes. Tools like list_requirements and list_issues expose full traceability trees. You can ask exactly how many QA instances are mapped to Requirement 5.
Do I need to copy the project ID separately?
Yes. In PractiTest, APIs execute cleanly isolated within specific Project instances. You must provide the numeric Project ID alongside your Personal Token so the underlying pt-engine binds queries strictly to that project.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
