Overview
The Qase MCP Server lets AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any other MCP client) read and write Qase test cases, runs, results, defects, suites, milestones, and more — through a standardized protocol, with no custom integration code.
Features:
- 40 task-oriented tools (42 total, with
qase_discover_toolsandqase_tool_help) — consolidated from 83 v1 tools for lower token usage and better LLM accuracy - Composite tools — multi-step workflows in a single call: CI reporting, defect triage, regression run setup
- QQL support — Qase Query Language for advanced searches across cases, runs, results, defects, and plans
- Project context bootstrap — one call returns full project structure (suites, milestones, environments, users, custom fields)
- Test case review — propose new cases or changes for review, assign reviewers, and track status (approving and merging remain UI-only)
- Short descriptions, documentation on demand — every tool is listed from the first request;
qase_tool_helpreturns a tool’s full documentation when the agent first reaches for it, andqase_discover_toolssearches the catalogue by task - Hosted or self-run — connect to
https://mcp.qase.io/mcp(orhttps://mcp-eu.qase.io/mcpon the EU cluster) with just your Qase login, or run the server locally with your own API token - Tenant-safe caching & HTTP resilience — two-tier cache (in-memory + optional Redis), connection pooling, retry with backoff
- Escape hatch — direct REST API access for any endpoint via
qase_api
Use Cases
| Scenario | Example prompt | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Bootstrap project context | “Show me the structure of project DEMO — suites, milestones, environments” | qase_project_context |
| Create or update a test case | “Create a high-priority smoke test case in project DEMO titled ‘Login with valid credentials’” | qase_case_upsert |
| Report CI results | “Report these CI results for project DEMO: case 1 passed, case 2 failed with ‘timeout error’” | qase_ci_report |
| Triage a failed test | “Create a critical defect for the login timeout failure in run #42” | qase_triage_defect |
| Search with QQL | “Find all failed test results from the last 7 days in project DEMO” | qql_search |
See Tools and docs/tools.md for the full reference.
Quick Start
Use the hosted Qase MCP (recommended)
No install, no API token — connect to the Qase-hosted server and sign in with your Qase account.
Note: The hosted Qase MCP requires the Enterprise plan. On another plan, or on a dedicated instance, run the server yourself with your own API token — that works everywhere.
Pick the URL for your region:
https://mcp.qase.io/mcpfor the main cloud (app.qase.io),https://mcp-eu.qase.io/mcpfor the EU cluster (app-eu.qase.io). The examples below use the main cloud; on the EU cluster substitute the EU URL and change nothing else.
- Claude — open Settings → Connectors, find Qase Test Management, click Connect. (The directory connector is main-cloud; on the EU cluster add
https://mcp-eu.qase.io/mcpas a custom connector.) - Cursor — add
{"mcpServers": {"qase": {"url": "https://mcp.qase.io/mcp"}}}to.cursor/mcp.json. - Codex — add the URL
https://mcp.qase.io/mcpin Settings → MCPs → Add server, or configure~/.codex/config.tomlfor the CLI. - VS Code — add
{"servers": {"qase": {"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.qase.io/mcp"}}}to.vscode/mcp.json, or run MCP: Add Server.
Full per-client steps, other clients, and the active-workspace model: docs/connect.md.
Run it yourself
Install the package and provide your own API token:
npm install -g @qase/mcp-server
export QASE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
Then point your MCP client’s stdio config at the @qase/mcp-server binary. Full install options, client configs (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode), environment variables, and transports (stdio/SSE/streamable-HTTP): docs/self-run.md.
Building on top of this server
For integration authors only — if you use the server directly, nothing here applies to you.
If your product drives this server (a plugin, an agent, a wrapper CLI), it can identify itself so its usage is attributable in Qase analytics, independently of which AI host is connected:
QASE_MCP_INTEGRATION=quality-supervisor/1.4.0 # /, version optional
The name must be on the allowlist in src/utils/integration-marker.ts — add yours in a PR. Anything unlisted or malformed is ignored, and the API call still succeeds. HTTP transports also accept the marker per request (X-Qase-Integration header or ?integration=). Details: docs/self-run.md.
Upgrading
From 2.x to 3.0.0: no tool was renamed and no argument changed, so prompts and automation keep working. What changed is the protocol underneath — the server speaks MCP 2026-07-28, sessions are gone, every tool is listed from the first request, and deleting takes two round trips. Self-hosting more than one replica now requires QASE_MCP_REQUEST_STATE_KEY.
From v1 to v2: v2 consolidated 83 v1 tools into 29 task-oriented tools (30 total, including a discovery tool), and has since grown to 40 (42 total). Tool names and response shapes have changed.
Both upgrades, with the complete v1 → v2 tool mapping table and before/after examples: docs/migration.md.
Tools
42 tools across 6 groups (40 task-oriented tools plus two meta tools: qase_discover_tools to search the catalogue and qase_tool_help to read a tool’s full documentation). All of them are listed from the first request:
| Group | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Read | 2 | Fetch any entity by type/ID, or bootstrap full project context in one call |
| QQL | 2 | Search across cases, runs, results, defects, and plans with Qase Query Language |
| Write | 32 | Create, update, and delete cases (single or up to 100 at once), runs, results, defects, suites, milestones, plans, shared steps, environments, and attachments; link cases and runs to Jira issues; propose and manage test case reviews |
| Composite | 3 | Multi-step workflows in one call: CI reporting, defect triage, regression run setup |
| Escape hatch | 1 | Direct REST API access for any endpoint not covered by the tools above |
| Meta | 2 | qase_discover_tools — search the catalogue by what you are trying to do; qase_tool_help — the full documentation of one tool, on demand |
Full tool-by-tool reference with parameters: docs/tools.md.
