Configuration for Claude Code

To use this MCP server with Claude Code, add it to your MCP settings file:

macOS/Linux: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testrail": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/testrail-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TESTRAIL_URL": "https://your-instance.testrail.io",
        "TESTRAIL_USERNAME": "your-email@example.com",
        "TESTRAIL_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if you prefer to use the .env file:
