🌟 Why Choose TestRail MCP Server?

Managing test cases manually is tedious and error-prone. With the TestRail MCP Server, your AI assistant (whether it’s Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compliant client) interacts directly with your TestRail instance. Instruct it to find test cases, draft new ones, kick off test runs, and record test results—all through natural conversation.

No context switching. No tedious copy-pasting. Just ask your AI.

✨ Key Features & Capabilities

🚀 Quick Start Guide

1. Obtain Your TestRail API Key

Navigate to My Settings → API Keys in your TestRail platform and generate a new key for authentication.

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add the server to your chosen MCP client configuration. Below are examples for popular AI IDEs and assistants:

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testrail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@uarlouski/testrail-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TESTRAIL_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-instance.testrail.io",
        "TESTRAIL_USERNAME": "your@email.com",
        "TESTRAIL_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open Settings → Features → MCP and add a new configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testrail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@uarlouski/testrail-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TESTRAIL_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-instance.testrail.io",
        "TESTRAIL_USERNAME": "your@email.com",
        "TESTRAIL_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Update your Windsurf MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testrail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@uarlouski/testrail-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TESTRAIL_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-instance.testrail.io",
        "TESTRAIL_USERNAME": "your@email.com",
        "TESTRAIL_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP-compliant client can utilize this server. The pattern is universal—point your client at the npx command with the required environment variables.

3. See It in Action

Once configured, turbo-charge your QA workflow by asking your AI assistant:

• "List all projects in TestRail to find the latest active project."
• "Show me all test cases in section 5 of project 3."
• "Create a comprehensive test case for 'Login Validation' with detailed steps."
• "Start a new test run containing cases from section 5."
• "Mark test case ID 1042 as passed with the comment 'Tested successfully on staging'."
