Short answer

How can I get quick status updates on my TestRail runs?

Your AI pulls the specific details and test lists from your active or finished runs to give you immediate pass/fail counts. You get a clear picture of your testing progress without manual exporting.

The outcomes

What your AI delivers

The AI turns raw TestRail data into clear summaries.

STATUS

Pass/fail counts

The AI reads the run details to tell you exactly how many tests passed or failed. You get the numbers you need for your status report immediately.

SCOPE

Test coverage

By looking at the individual tests in a run, your AI can summarize what has been covered. This helps you see if any critical areas were missed.

PROGRESS

Completion tracking

The AI compares current results against the total test count. You'll know exactly how close a run is to completion.

HUMAN

Manual triage

The AI identifies the failures, but you still need to investigate the specific bugs. It flags the problems so you know where to focus your energy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your TestRail environment.

  1. Identify the run

    The AI looks up the specific test run you are asking about to ensure the data is current.

    get_test_run_details

  2. Fetch test data

    It pulls the full list of tests associated with that specific run.

    list_run_tests

  3. Calculate results

    The AI processes the status of every test to find the pass, fail, and blocked counts.

    get_test_run_details

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents a clean summary of the run status directly in your chat window.

    get_test_run_details

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the status of a test?

    No. The AI can only read data from TestRail. You must manually update test statuses in the TestRail UI.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new test cases?

    No. This MCP is designed for retrieving and summarizing existing run data, not for creating or modifying test suites.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my TestRail projects?

    The AI can access any run it has permission to see via the tools provided, provided you specify the run or project in your prompt.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 05

    Will the AI report on tests that aren't in the current run?

    The AI only reports on the specific tests found within the run you ask about.
