How do I use TestCollab MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@TestCollab MCP Server Show me all high-priority test cases in the Login suite" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Local Development Setup

If you're contributing or want to run from source instead of npx:

git clone <repo-url>
cd tc-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Then point your MCP client to the built file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testcollab": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/tc-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TC_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "TC_API_URL": "http://localhost:1337",
        "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "16"
      }
    }
  }
}

Dev Commands

npm run dev          # Watch mode with hot reload
npm run build        # Compile TypeScript
npm test             # Run tests
npm run typecheck    # Type check
npm run lint         # Lint

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing in your client

Restart the client after adding the config
Verify Node.js 20+ is installed: node --version
Test manually: TC_API_TOKEN=your-token npx @testcollab/mcp-server

Authentication errors

Verify your API token is valid and not expired
Check that TC_API_URL points to the correct server

"project_id is required" error

Set TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT in your env config, or
Specify the project in your prompt: "Show me test cases in project 16"
