Bring Qa Testing
to Windsurf
Learn how to connect PractiTest to Windsurf 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)

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.
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.
