   cd mcp-server
   npm install

2. Build the project:

   npm run build

3. Configure Claude Desktop for local development:

   Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

   Add this configuration (replace the path with your actual project path):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "qastudio": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/Users/yourusername/path/to/qastudio-mcp/dist/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "QA_STUDIO_API_URL": "https://qastudio.dev/api",
           "QA_STUDIO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
         }
       }
     }
   }

4. Restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server

5. Run tests:

   # Run all tests
   npm test
   
   # Run tests in watch mode
   npm run test:watch
   
   # Run tests with UI
   npm run test:ui

6. Watch mode for development:

   # Automatically rebuild on file changes
   npm run dev

   After making changes, restart Claude Desktop to reload the server.

Testing the Server Directly

You can test the MCP server independently (without Claude):

# Set environment variables
export QA_STUDIO_API_URL="https://qastudio.dev/api"
export QA_STUDIO_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Run the server (it will listen on stdio)
node dist/index.js

API Key Setup

To create an API key in QA Studio:

1. Log in to your QA Studio instance

2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys

3. Click "Create API Key"

4. Give it a name (e.g., "Claude MCP Server")

5. Copy the generated key and add it to your MCP configuration

Security

• Never commit your API key to version control

• Store API keys securely in environment variables or configuration files

• Use HTTPS for production QA Studio instances

• Rotate API keys regularly
