Integrate QA into Your CI/CD Pipeline

This is what it's for. After a successful build, your pipeline script calls Claude Code to interact with PractiTest. Use the `create_run` tool to automatically log a new test run associated with the build artifact. You can also script pre-deployment gates. For example, use `list_runs` to check if critical tests have passed in the last hour, and fail the deployment if they haven't. It puts your QA process directly into your automation workflow.

Script Your Test Suite Management

Manage PractiTest projects from a shell script. You can pipe the output of `list_tests` to `grep` to find specific tests, then use their IDs to trigger a batch of runs via `create_run`. This also works for reporting. Set up a cron job that calls `list_runs` every night, parses the JSON output with `jq`, and sends a summary of failed runs to a monitoring channel. No manual report-pulling needed.

Headless QA Reporting with this MCP Server

Get PractiTest data without ever opening a browser. From any terminal with Claude Code installed, you can run a command to get project details with `get_project` or pull a specific test case with `get_test`. The raw JSON output from this MCP Server is designed to be piped into other command-line tools. It's perfect for quick checks or for feeding data into utilities like `jq` for filtering or `awk` for custom reports.

Common questions about PractiTest MCP in Claude Code

In your shell script, call Claude Code and instruct it to use the `create_run` tool. You'll pass the project and test IDs as arguments, which lets you log test execution results as part of any automated process.

Yes. Run a command telling Claude Code to 'list tests in project 5'. It will call the `list_tests` tool and print the JSON output directly to stdout, which you can then pipe to other commands like `jq` or `grep`.

Absolutely. Your GitHub Action workflow can execute a Claude Code command that calls `list_requirements`. This lets you programmatically check for things like feature coverage as part of your automated CI checks.

Run `claude mcp add --transport http practitest-server -- `. After adding it, you can use `claude mcp list` to confirm it's connected and that all the PractiTest tools are available.

The server acts as a stateless proxy. It receives requests containing your test run or requirement data, forwards them to the PractiTest API, and returns the response. No data is logged or stored on the Vinkius server.
