@Testneo/ Server

TestNeo MCP connects Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients to TestNeo — so your AI chat can list projects, inspect runs, generate tests from context (including Swagger/OpenAPI and design context), and (when you allow it) execute tests with guardrails.

Get started (production)

1) Create a TestNeo account and project

1. Open app.testneo.ai/signup and register.
2. In the app, create a project (web/API automation) and note the project id when you run workflows from chat.
3. Open your account/API settings and create an API key (tn_…). Treat it like a password.

2) Point the MCP server at TestNeo Cloud

Use the production API base URL:

Variable	Value
TESTNEO_BASE_URL	https://app.testneo.ai
TESTNEO_API_KEY	your tn_… key

Self-hosted customers can set TESTNEO_BASE_URL to their own API origin instead.

3) Add the server to your IDE (recommended: npx)

No global install required. Example for Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or Settings → MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testneo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testneo/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TESTNEO_BASE_URL": "https://app.testneo.ai",
        "TESTNEO_API_KEY": "tn_YOUR_KEY_HERE",
        "TESTNEO_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Keep TESTNEO_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE at false until you intentionally want execute/rerun/Swagger-write tools; read-only tools still work. Write tools also need confirm=true on each call — see hosted security section.

4) Reload MCP and verify

Restart the IDE (or reload MCP servers), then in chat:

Validate my TestNeo connection

List my TestNeo projects

5) Go deeper

Follow TestNeo MCP — Docs for quickstart detail, tool reference, workflows (e.g. qa_intelligence_workflow), and troubleshooting. This repo’s docs/MCP_TOOL_REFERENCE.md mirrors the same tool list for offline browsing.

Why use TestNeo MCP?

• Less context switching — quality signals, generation, and execution requests happen in the same chat as your code.
• Guarded writes — mutating tools stay off unless you set TESTNEO_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true and pass confirm=true.
• Same backend as the product — projects, executions, Swagger pipeline, Figma/context flows, and Playwright SDK paths all go through your real TestNeo deployment.

---

Smoke check (against your account)

From a clone of this repo, after npm install and npm run build:

TESTNEO_BASE_URL="https://app.testneo.ai" TESTNEO_API_KEY="tn_YOUR_KEY_HERE" npm run smoke

Copy .env.example to .env and edit values if you prefer loading env from a file (your shell or tooling must export them before npm run smoke).

---

Optional: run from a local build instead of npx

npm install
npm run build

Point your MCP config at:

node /absolute/path/to/this/repo/dist/index.js

See docs/IDE_SETUP.md for more client-specific notes.

Responses & contracts

• Tool responses include _telemetry (request_id, duration_ms, backend_paths, etc.) for support and auditing.
• testneo_get_failure_bundle (and triage-heavy testneo_run_agent_workflow steps) may include suggested_nlp_patch when include_nlp_patch_suggestion is true (default). Details: docs/MCP_TOOL_REFERENCE.md.
• Project execution preconditions (default on): generate/execute-style tools may return project_precondition_failed unless the project resolves a real https base URL for the app under test (website_url or environment base_url). example.com placeholders are rejected. For special dev setups only: TESTNEO_MCP_RELAX_PROJECT_PRECONDITIONS=true.
• Execution intelligence: normalized payloads use contract_version: execution_intelligence.v1 (or pipeline variants) and canonical_status (queued | running | passed | failed | cancelled | unknown) alongside raw backend status.

---

v1 tool surface (summary)

Read-heavy: connection, projects, executions, logs, trends, watch, failure bundles, agent workflows, unified contexts, Swagger preview, route map, etc.

Writes (guarded): execute generated test, testneo_run_generated_test_pipeline (run + wait + report), rerun failed, trigger Playwright, Swagger upload/impact, NLP updates, route map persist, Figma ingest, etc.

Full list: docs/MCP_TOOL_REFERENCE.md or hosted tool reference.

Environment reference

Required

• TESTNEO_BASE_URL — use https://app.testneo.ai for TestNeo Cloud; otherwise your self-hosted API origin.
• TESTNEO_API_KEY — from the app after signup.

Common optional flags

• TESTNEO_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE — default false; set true only when you want mutating tools.
• TESTNEO_MCP_RELAX_PROJECT_PRECONDITIONS — default false.
• TESTNEO_MCP_TELEMETRY_JSONL, TESTNEO_MCP_POLICY_MODE, TESTNEO_MCP_TIMEOUT_MS, TESTNEO_MCP_SWAGGER_TIMEOUT_MS, TESTNEO_MCP_USER_AGENT
• Route hardening: TESTNEO_ROUTE_HARDENING, TESTNEO_ROUTE_PROFILE, TESTNEO_ROUTE_MAP_JSON

Generation: testneo_generate_tests_from_context defaults to auto_align_saucedemo_route_map=true for SauceDemo-style auth presets when no custom map is set.

---

Tests (no live API)

npm test

Runs build checks and offline guardrail scripts (no TESTNEO_BASE_URL required).

---

Security

• API key is read only from the environment.
• Write tools are disabled unless TESTNEO_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=true.
• Write tools require confirm=true (and optional idempotency_key for safe retries).

Maintainers only: public GitHub mirror

The npm package and gururajhm-neo/testneo-mcp mirror are synced from the private TestNeo monorepo. Do not put monorepo paths or internal CI tokens in your MCP client config — that is maintainer workflow only.
