  }
}

Available Tools

run-collection

Runs a Bruno collection and returns the test results.

Parameters:

  • collection (required): Path to the Bruno collection

  • environment (optional): Path to environment file

  • variables (optional): Environment variables as key-value pairs

Example Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "summary": {
    "total": 5,
    "failed": 0,
    "passed": 5
  },
  "failures": [],
  "timings": {
    "started": "2024-03-14T10:00:00.000Z",

Example Usage in Claude

You can use the server in Claude by asking it to run a Bruno collection:

"Run the Bruno collection at /path/to/collection.bru and tell me if all tests passed"

Claude will:

  1. Use the run-collection tool

  2. Analyze the test results

  3. Provide a human-friendly summary of the execution

B3/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The tool 'run-collection' has a single, clearly defined purpose that cannot be misselected against other tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'run-collection' follows a verb-noun pattern, and there are no other tools to compare it against for inconsistency.

Tool Count2/5

A single tool is generally too few for most server purposes, as it limits functionality and may indicate an incomplete or overly narrow scope. While it could be appropriate for a very specific task, it often feels thin and lacks the breadth needed for typical agent workflows.

Completeness1/5

With only one tool, the surface is severely incomplete. There are obvious gaps, such as the inability to create, list, update, or delete collections, which are typical operations in a collection management domain. This will likely cause agent failures when trying to perform basic tasks beyond running a collection.
