Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@SmartBear MCP show me recent errors from BugSnag"
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.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server which provides AI assistants with seamless access to SmartBear's suite of testing and monitoring tools, including BugSnag, Reflect, Swagger, PactFlow, Pact Broker, QMetry, Zephyr and Collaborator.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. This server exposes SmartBear's APIs through natural language interfaces, allowing you to query your testing data, analyze performance metrics, and manage test automation directly from your AI workflow.

Access to SmartBear products (BugSnag, Reflect, Swagger, QMetry, or Zephyr)
Valid API tokens for the products you want to integrate
The MCP server is distributed as an npm package @smartbear/mcp, making it easy to integrate into your development workflow.
The server is started with the API key or auth token that you use with your SmartBear product(s). They are optional and can be removed from your configuration if you aren't using the product. For BugSnag, if you provide a project API key it will narrow down all searches to a single project in your BugSnag dashboard. Leave this field blank if you wish to interact across multiple projects at a time.
For the quickest setup, use the "MCP: Add server…" command in the Command Palette to add the @smartbear/mcp npm package.
Alternatively, you can use npx (or globally install) the @smartbear/mcp package to run the server and add the following to your .vscode/mcp.json file:
