What is the Cucumberstudio MCP MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Cucumberstudio MCP, the cucumberstudio mcp mcp server is the bridge. MCP server for Cucumber Studio API integration.

What Cucumberstudio MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides LLM access to Cucumber Studio's testing platform. This server enables AI assistants to retrieve test scenarios, action words, test runs, and project information from Cucumber Studio.

Key capabilities

  • Dual Transport Support — - STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports with session management
  • Project Management — - List and retrieve project details
  • Scenario Access — - Browse test scenarios and search by tags
  • Action Words — - Access reusable test steps and definitions
  • Test Execution — - View test runs, executions, and build information
  • Hot Reload Development — - Instant server restart on file changes with tsx --watch
  • Configurable Logging — - Structured logging with multiple output destinations
  • Comprehensive Error Handling — - Robust error handling with detailed feedback

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:

  • cucumberstudio_list_projects — List all accessible projects
  • cucumberstudio_get_project — Get detailed project information
  • cucumberstudio_list_scenarios — List scenarios in a project
  • cucumberstudio_get_scenario — Get detailed scenario information
  • cucumberstudio_find_scenarios_by_tags — Find scenarios by tags
  • cucumberstudio_list_action_words — List reusable action words
  • cucumberstudio_get_action_word — Get detailed action word information
  • cucumberstudio_find_action_words_by_tags — Find action words by tags
  • cucumberstudio_list_test_runs — List test runs
  • cucumberstudio_get_test_run — Get detailed test run information
  • cucumberstudio_get_test_executions — Get individual test results
  • cucumberstudio_list_builds — List builds
  • cucumberstudio_get_build — Get build details
  • cucumberstudio_list_execution_environments — List execution environments

Installing the cucumberstudio mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as cucumberstudio-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: CUCUMBERSTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN, CUCUMBERSTUDIO_CLIENT_ID, CUCUMBERSTUDIO_UID, CUCUMBERSTUDIO_BASE_URL. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Cucumberstudio MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — cucumberstudio_list_projects, cucumberstudio_get_project, cucumberstudio_list_scenarios among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Cucumberstudio MCP.
  • Maintained by HeroSizy, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the cucumberstudio mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Cucumberstudio MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (cucumberstudio_list_projects, cucumberstudio_get_project, cucumberstudio_list_scenarios, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Cucumberstudio MCP directly.
