How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Zephyr Scale API Token. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

Do I need to manually find test keys in Jira?

No. You can ask your agent to list all test cases in a project, and it will provide the keys for you.

Can I see why a specific test failed?

Yes. You can request the details of a specific execution, and the agent will retrieve the step-by-step results.

Does this work with my existing Jira setup?

Yes. This MCP is designed to work with your Zephyr Scale account within Jira.

What kind of clients can I use?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I check the specific test steps for a case through the agent?

Yes. The get_test_case capability allows your AI agent to retrieve the full script for any test key, providing the exact sequence of steps, test data, and expected results defined in Zephyr Scale.

How do I see the progress of a specific test cycle via chat?

Use the get_test_cycle capability. Provide the unique cycle key, and your agent will return the cycle status, planned dates, and high-level execution statistics to help you monitor testing progress.

Is it possible to see the results of individual test runs?

Absolutely. Using the get_execution_details capability, your agent can retrieve step-by-step results for any execution, including comments and execution time, helping you identify exactly where a test failed.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Zephyr Scale (SmartBear) to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Zephyr Scale (SmartBear) works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Zephyr Scale (SmartBear) to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
