Short answer

Can I manage my Testim branches using AI?

Yes. You can create new branches, list existing ones, and merge feature changes into your master branch using plain text commands. This setup gives you direct control over your project structure through your AI client.

Branching outcomes.

Where your work lands.

What happens when you give your AI a command.

NEW

Isolated development

The AI sets up a fresh branch for your new feature. You get a clean environment to work in without touching the main code.

VIEW

Project visibility

Your AI pulls a list of all current branches. You can see exactly what's running in the project at a glance.

SYNC

Feature integration

The AI merges your completed work into the master branch. This keeps your main codebase up to date with your latest changes.

MANUAL

Human oversight

You decide when a merge is safe. The AI performs the technical execution, but you maintain final authority over the project state.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your AI translates your chat messages into direct actions within Testim.

  1. Branch creation

    When you ask for a new workspace, the AI spins up a dedicated branch for that specific task.

    create_project_branch

  2. Inventory check

    If you need to see what's already active, the AI scans the project to show you every branch name.

    list_project_branches

  3. Code integration

    When a feature is ready, the AI handles the heavy lifting of merging that branch into your master branch.

    merge_project_branch

  4. Command execution

    The AI uses the provided tools to ensure the branch operations match your specific text instructions.

    create_project_branchlist_project_branchesmerge_project_branch

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete branches?

    No. This MCP only supports creating, listing, and merging branches.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide when to merge?

    No. The AI only merges when you explicitly tell it to via a command.

  • 03

    Can I see the code inside the branches?

    No. This tool manages the branch structure and merges, but it does not read or edit the code files themselves.

  • 04

    Will this work in Cursor?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude.

  • 05

    Can the AI create multiple branches at once?

    The AI executes the specific command you provide. You can ask for them one by one or in sequence.
