What is the Applitools MCP Server?

Connect your Applitools Eyes testing suite to your AI agent and manage your entire visual regression pipeline without opening the dashboard. Allow your agent to spot UI changes, validate baselines, and assess testing health dynamically.

What you can do

Batch Observability — Query active test batches to view aggregated statuses (Passed, Failed, Unresolved) and completion rates
Session & Results analysis — Drill down into specific test sessions to examine failed step images, match levels, and browser differences
Baseline Management — List your "golden" graphical baselines bound to applications or specific Git branches
Actionable Maintenance — Authorize the agent to delete outdated baselines or discard legacy batches to keep your workspace clean
Key Validation — Ensure connectivity against your visual AI engine before pipeline triggers

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Insert your Applitools API Key
Review visual bugs and validate frontend changes directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible surface

Who is this for?

QA Automation Engineers — ask your agent to summarize unresolved test batches and pinpoint exact OS/browser failure combinations
Frontend Developers — verify branch-specific visual baselines during PRs without context switching
Engineering Managers — pull high-level batch stats to ensure release criteria are visually met
Designers — request a quick breakdown of structural UI changes caught by Applitools Visual AI before deployment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI agent resolve a test failure on its own?

No. The MCP server is designed for pulling state data—it retrieves batches, session diff links, and match levels so you can review them locally. Approving a new baseline or resolving a mismatch still requires human intervention within the Applitools Eyes dashboard to maintain absolute testing safety.

Can I use the agent to delete old UI snapshots?

Yes. If your UI has undergone major structural changes and old baselines are causing false positives, you can authorize the agent to execute the delete_baseline tool. Provide the exact baseline ID to instantly discard the legacy screenshot from your workspace.

How fast can I summarize test errors after my CI/CD action triggers?

Almost instantly. Rather than scrolling through dozens of Applitools logs, ask your agent to 'Get batch stats for ID 123'. It will immediately return the aggregation of Passed, Failed, and Unresolved runs, saving you countless minutes of digging.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the 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?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
