Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:627-645 (handler)

  MCP server CallTool handler for 'create_test_execution': constructs TestExecution from params and calls XrayClient.createTestExecution

  case 'create_test_execution': {
    const testExecution: TestExecution = {
      projectKey: args.projectKey as string,
      summary: args.summary as string,
      description: args.description as string | undefined,
      testIssueIds: args.testIssueIds as string[] | undefined,
      testEnvironments: args.testEnvironments as string[] | undefined,
    };
  
    const result = await xrayClient.createTestExecution(testExecution);
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }
