Implementation Reference

• src/xray-client.ts:218-273 (handler)

  Core handler function implementing the create_test_case tool logic by executing GraphQL mutation to create a test case in Xray Cloud.

  async createTestCase(testCase: TestCase): Promise<TestCaseResponse> {
    const mutation = `
      mutation CreateTest($jira: JSON!, $testType: UpdateTestTypeInput, $unstructured: String) {
        createTest(jira: $jira, testType: $testType, unstructured: $unstructured) {
          test {
            issueId
            jira(fields: ["key"])
          }
          warnings
        }
      }
    `;
  
    const jiraFields: any = {
      fields: {
        project: {
          key: testCase.projectKey
        },
        summary: testCase.summary,
        issuetype: {
          name: 'Test'
        }
      }
    };
  
    if (testCase.description) {
      jiraFields.fields.description = testCase.description;
    }
  
    if (testCase.labels && testCase.labels.length > 0) {
      jiraFields.fields.labels = testCase.labels;
    }
  
    if (testCase.priority) {
      jiraFields.fields.priority = { name: testCase.priority };
    }
  
    const variables: any = {
      jira: jiraFields,
      unstructured: testCase.description || ''
    };
  
    if (testCase.testType) {
      variables.testType = {
        name: testCase.testType
      };
    }
  
    const result = await this.graphqlRequest<{ createTest: any }>(mutation, variables);
  
    return {
      id: result.createTest.test.issueId,
      key: result.createTest.test.jira.key,
      self: `https://your-jira-instance.atlassian.net/browse/${result.createTest.test.jira.key}`
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:29-65 (registration)

  MCP tool registration defining the 'create_test_case' tool with name, description, and input schema.

    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        projectKey: {
          type: 'string',

        },
        summary: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The test case summary/title',

          type: 'string',
          description: 'The test case description',
        },
        testType: {

        labels: {
          type: 'array',
          items: { type: 'string' },
          description: 'Labels to attach to the test case',
        },
        priority: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Priority of the test case (e.g., "High", "Medium", "Low")',
        },
      },
      required: ['projectKey', 'summary'],
    },
  },

• src/xray-client.ts:14-25 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the TestCase input structure used by the handler.

  export interface TestCase {
    id?: string;
    key?: string;
    summary: string;
    description?: string;
    testType?: 'Manual' | 'Cucumber' | 'Generic';
    projectKey: string;
    labels?: string[];
    components?: string[];
    priority?: string;
    status?: string;
  }

• src/xray-client.ts:27-31 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the TestCaseResponse output structure returned by the handler.

  export interface TestCaseResponse {
    id: string;
    key: string;
    self: string;
  }

• src/index.ts:533-552 (helper)

  Dispatch helper in MCP server that constructs TestCase from tool arguments and calls the handler.

  case 'create_test_case': {
    const testCase: TestCase = {
      projectKey: args.projectKey as string,
      summary: args.summary as string,
      description: args.description as string | undefined,
      testType: args.testType as 'Manual' | 'Cucumber' | 'Generic' | undefined,
      labels: args.labels as string[] | undefined,
      priority: args.priority as string | undefined,
    };
  
    const result = await xrayClient.createTestCase(testCase);
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }
