TestRail MCP Server
AI-native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TestRail. Lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI assistants browse projects, create and update test cases, kick off test runs, and record results through natural-language conversation — with strongly-typed tool schemas and per-project custom field validation that helps LLMs generate valid TestRail requests on the first try.

🌟 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
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔍 Intelligent Discovery | Browse projects, test suites, and sections to automatically map your QA organization. |
| 📋 Full Case Management | Fetch, create, update, and bulk-edit test cases with comprehensive custom field support. |
| ▶️ Actionable Execution | Create test runs, update results by test_id or case_id, attach files, and track statuses. |
| 🧠 Context-Aware AI | Dynamically exposes templates, fields, priorities, and statuses so LLMs generate valid, structured data. |
🚀 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. The Claude Desktop example is shown below; Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients use the same pattern (see the collapsible sections further down).
🤖 Claude Desktop
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",
"TESTRAIL_ENABLE_SHARED_STEPS": "true"
}
}
}
}
<details> <summary><strong>⌨️ Cursor</strong></summary>
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"
}
}
}
}
</details>
<details> <summary><strong>🌊 Windsurf</strong></summary>
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"
}
}
}
}
</details>
<details> <summary><strong>🌐 Other MCP Clients</strong></summary>
Any MCP-compliant client can utilize this server. The pattern is universal—point your client at the npx command with the required environment variables.
</details>
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'."
