Click on "Deploy 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., "@QIT MCP Server run security tests on my woocommerce plugin"
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.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the QIT CLI, enabling natural language interaction and agent-based workflows for WordPress/WooCommerce plugin testing.
Natural Language Testing: Run QIT tests using conversational commands
Agent Integration: Enable AI agents to run tests as part of automated workflows
Full CLI Coverage: Access all essential QIT CLI functionality through MCP tools
Smart CLI Detection: Automatically finds QIT CLI in PATH, local vendor, or custom location

Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Loading tool schema changelog…
Scored across 22 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, such as authentication (authenticate, get_auth_status), environment management (start_environment, stop_environment, reset_environment), and test operations (run_test, run_test_group). However, some overlap exists between get_test_report and get_test_result, which could cause confusion about their specific functions, and manage_cache vs. sync_cache might be ambiguous without careful reading of descriptions.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear verb_noun structures, such as list_environments, get_test_result, and manage_config. The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set, with no deviations in style or convention.
With 22 tools, the count is on the higher side for a testing tool server, bordering on heavy but still manageable. It covers various aspects like authentication, environment control, test execution, and reporting, which justifies the number, but it might feel slightly overwhelming compared to more streamlined servers.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for QIT testing workflows, including setup (authenticate, manage_config), environment lifecycle (start, stop, reset, exec), test execution (run_test, run_test_group), result retrieval (get_test_result, open_test_result), and auxiliary functions (validate_zip, sync_cache). No obvious gaps are present for the domain of WooCommerce extension testing.
Direct access to Cypress tests results and accessibility reports in your AI workflow.
Write, run and check natural-language browser tests of your web app from your AI assistant.
Run, debug, and triage tests from your IDE using natural language, no dashboard switching, no manual data transfers. The TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest) MCP Server is a single remote server exposing four tool suites: HyperExecute — analyze your project, generate YAML configs and test runner commands, then monitor jobs and sessions. Automation — pull a TestID's details plus command, network, and console logs into one chat for instant root-cause analysis. Includes mobile app upload. SmartUI — explain pixel, layout, DOM, and perceptual changes in a visual regression run, with context-aware React/HTML/CSS fixes. Accessibility — audit any public URL or a local React app against WCAG and get ready-to-apply remediation steps. Connects over https://mcp.lambdatest.com/mcp using OAuth 2.1 — no API keys in your config. One-click install in Cursor; works with Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cline, and any MCP client. Tests execute on the TestMu AI cloud: 3,000+ browsers and 10,000+ real devices.
