## Description
Manage test cases in TestCollab directly from your AI coding assistant. List, create, and update test cases with filtering, sorting, and pagination support.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **project_id** — Project ID (*required if `TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT` not set)
- **suite** — No
- **filter** — Filter conditions
- **sort** — Sort specification
- **limit** — Max results (1-100, default: 50)
- **offset** — Skip N results (default: 0)

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "testcollab-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@testcollab/mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "TC_API_TOKEN": "",
      "TC_API_URL": "",
      "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `TC_API_TOKEN`, `TC_API_URL`, `TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Documentation & README

# TestCollab MCP Server

Connect your AI coding assistant to [TestCollab](https://testcollab.com) — manage test cases, test plans, and suites directly from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, or any MCP-compatible client.

## Quick Start

### 1. Get your API token

Log in to TestCollab → **My Profile Settings** → **API Token** tab → **Generate new API token**.

### 2. Add the server to your MCP client

**Claude Code** — add to `.mcp.json` in your project root:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testcollab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testcollab/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TC_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "TC_API_URL": "https://api.testcollab.io",
        "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "16"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Claude Desktop** — add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testcollab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testcollab/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TC_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "TC_API_URL": "https://api.testcollab.io",
        "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "16"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Codex** - register TestCollab from the command line:

```bash
codex mcp add testcollab \
  --env TC_API_TOKEN=your-api-token \
  --env TC_API_URL=https://api.testcollab.io \
  --env TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT=16 \
  -- npx -y @testcollab/mcp-server
```

Or add the server to `~/.codex/config.toml` for all projects, or `.codex/config.toml` in a trusted project:

```toml
[mcp_servers.testcollab]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@testcollab/mcp-server"]

[mcp_servers.testcollab.env]
TC_API_TOKEN = "your-api-token"
TC_API_URL = "https://api.testcollab.io"
TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT = "16"
```

Run `codex mcp list` to confirm the server is configured. See the [official Codex MCP documentation](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp/) for configuration scopes and additional options.

**Cursor** — add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testcollab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@testcollab/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TC_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "TC_API_URL": "https://api.testcollab.io",
        "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "16"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Manual Testing

```bash
TC_API_TOKEN=your-token npm start
```

## Available Tools

### list_test_cases

List test cases from a project with optional filtering.

**Parameters:**
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `project_id` | number | No* | Project ID (*required if `TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT` not set) |
| `suite` | number\|string | No | Filter by suite ID or title |
| `filter` | object | No | Filter conditions |
| `sort` | array | No | Sort specification |
| `limit` | number | No | Max results (1-100, default: 50) |

### 3. Verify

Restart your client, then ask: *"What tools do you have for TestCollab?"*

You should see the TestCollab tools listed. Try: *"Show me all test cases"*.

## Configuration

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |

```

See [Use Cases](https://github.com/TCSoftInc/testcollab-mcp-server/blob/HEAD/docs/use_cases.md) for detailed workflows.

## Local Development Setup

If you're contributing or want to run from source instead of npx:

```bash
git clone <repo-url>
cd tc-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
```

Then point your MCP client to the built file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testcollab": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/tc-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TC_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "TC_API_URL": "http://localhost:1337",
        "TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT": "16"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Dev Commands

```bash
npm run dev          # Watch mode with hot reload
npm run build        # Compile TypeScript
npm test             # Run tests
npm run typecheck    # Type check
npm run lint         # Lint
```

## Troubleshooting

**Server not appearing in your client**
- Restart the client after adding the config
- Verify Node.js 20+ is installed: `node --version`
- Test manually: `TC_API_TOKEN=your-token npx @testcollab/mcp-server`

**Authentication errors**
- Verify your API token is valid and not expired
- Check that `TC_API_URL` points to the correct server

**"project_id is required" error**
- Set `TC_DEFAULT_PROJECT` in your env config, or
- Specify the project in your prompt: *"Show me test cases in project 16"*
