A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TestRail that allows interaction with TestRail's core entities through a standardized protocol.
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Testrail MCP, the testrail mcp mcp server is the bridge. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TestRail that allows interaction with TestRail's core entities through a standardized protocol.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TestRail that allows interaction with TestRail's core entities through a standardized protocol.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
Cursor — In Cursor, add a new custom tool with the following configuration:Windsurf — In Windsurf, add a new tool with the following configuration:The server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, 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.
Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: TESTRAIL_URL, TESTRAIL_USERNAME, TESTRAIL_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
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. Testrail MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Cursor, Windsurf — 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.
