Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Qase account with API token (Get your token)

Option 1: Install from NPM (Recommended)

npm install -g @qase/mcp-server

Option 2: Install from Source (Development)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/qase-tms/qase-mcp-server.git
cd qase-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the server
npm run build

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file or set environment variables:

# Required: Your Qase API token
QASE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

# Optional: Custom API domain for enterprise customers
QASE_API_DOMAIN=api.qase.io

Get your API token from: https://app.qase.io/user/api/token

Custom Domains (Enterprise)

If you're using Qase Enterprise with a custom domain:

QASE_API_DOMAIN=api.yourcompany.qase.io

Integration

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or, if installed from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/qase-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Navigate to MCP settings
3. Add the Qase MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

You can add the Qase MCP server to Claude Code using the CLI command:

claude mcp add qase -- npx -y @qase/mcp-server

Set the required environment variable:

export QASE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

Alternatively, add a .mcp.json file to your project root for automatic project-scoped configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also use the --scope flag to choose where the configuration is stored:

# Project-scoped (saved in .mcp.json)
claude mcp add --scope project qase -- npx -y @qase/mcp-server

# User-scoped (available in all projects)
claude mcp add --scope user qase -- npx -y @qase/mcp-server

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add a .codex/config.json file to your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set the required environment variable before running Codex:

export QASE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

OpenCode

Add an opencode.json file to your project root (or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json for global configuration):

{
  "mcp": {
    "qase": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "environment": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: OpenCode uses a different format from other MCP clients — the command and args are combined into a single command array, env vars go under environment, and servers are nested under mcp (not mcpServers).

Usage Examples

Basic Operations

List All Projects

Can you list all my Qase projects?

Create a Test Case

Create a test case in project DEMO titled "Login with valid credentials" with steps for entering username, password, and clicking login

Search with QQL

Find all failed test results from the last 7 days in project DEMO

Advanced QQL Queries

Find Flaky Tests

Search for all flaky test cases in project DEMO that are not automated

The server will execute:

entity = "case" and project = "DEMO" and isFlaky = true and automation = "Not automated"

Find Open Blocker Defects

Show me all open blocker defects in project DEMO

Find Tests by Author

Find all test cases created by john@example.com in the last month

Working with Test Runs

Create and Execute a Test Run

Create a test run in project DEMO called "Sprint 24 Regression" including all test cases from the "Authentication" suite, then add a passed result for case ID 123

Case enum values

create_case, bulk_create_cases, and update_case automatically normalize friendly labels to whatever numeric IDs your workspace currently configures for the built-in system fields (priority, severity, type, behavior, status, layer). The server fetches /v1/system_field and caches the available options so you can keep using the titles or slugs you see in Qase while still satisfying the API’s numeric requirements.

The normalization does not touch automation/is_flaky, so pass those values as the API expects (strings or booleans). The server keeps any existing label in place when it does not match a known enum so invalid values still bubble up as errors from Qase.

# --host: Host address (default: 0.0.0.0)

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors

Error: Authentication failed: Please check your QASE_API_TOKEN

Solution:

1. Verify your API token is correct: https://app.qase.io/user/api/token
2. Ensure the token is set in your environment or config file
3. Check for extra spaces or quotes in the token value

Connection Errors

Error: Network error or ECONNREFUSED

Solution:

1. Check your internet connection
2. Verify the API domain is correct (especially for enterprise customers)
3. Check if Qase is accessible: https://api.qase.io/v1/

SSL Certificate Errors

Error: unable to get local issuer certificate

This error typically occurs in corporate environments with:

• SSL-intercepting proxy servers
• Self-signed certificates
• Internal Certificate Authorities (CA)

Solution: Add the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable pointing to your CA certificate file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qase/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "QASE_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here",
        "NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS": "/path/to/your/certificate.pem"
      }
    }
  }
}

To find your certificate:

• Corporate environments: Contact your IT department for the CA certificate
• macOS: Export from Keychain Access (System Roots → your CA → Export as .pem)
• Windows: Export from Certificate Manager (certmgr.msc)
• Linux: Usually in /etc/ssl/certs/ or /etc/pki/tls/certs/

Custom Domain Issues

Error: Invalid domain or connection errors with custom domain

Solution:

1. Ensure QASE_API_DOMAIN is set to just the domain (e.g., api.company.qase.io)
2. Don't include https:// or /v1 in the domain
3. Verify with your Qase administrator

No Tools Showing in MCP Client

Error: MCP client shows "no tools, prompts or resources" or 0 tools available

Solution:

1. Verify your MCP configuration has the correct command and arguments
2. Check that QASE_API_TOKEN is set in the env section
3. Restart your MCP client completely (close and reopen)
4. Check the MCP client logs for connection errors
5. Verify the server is built: npm run build

Tool Not Found

Error: Unknown tool: tool_name

Solution:

1. Ensure you're using the latest version: npm update -g @qase/mcp-server
2. Check the tool name spelling matches the documentation
3. Restart your MCP client after updating
