• 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
• Type Safety - Full TypeScript implementation with Zod validation
• Comprehensive Testing - 82%+ test coverage with Vitest and MSW

Installation

Desktop Extension (MCPB) Installation

The easiest way to use this MCP server is as a Desktop Extension:

1. Download Extension: Get the latest .mcpb file from the releases page (automatically built from each release)
2. Install Extension: Import the extension in your compatible AI desktop application
3. Configure Credentials: Set up your Cucumber Studio API credentials through the extension settings:
   • Access Token: Your Cucumber Studio API access token
   • Client ID: Your Cucumber Studio client ID
   • User ID: Your Cucumber Studio user ID

The extension will automatically handle the MCP server setup and communication.

Quick Start (Command Line)

Run directly with npx (no installation required):

npx cucumberstudio-mcp

Set your environment variables first:

export CUCUMBERSTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_token"
export CUCUMBERSTUDIO_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export CUCUMBERSTUDIO_UID="your_uid"

Development Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/HeroSizy/cucumberstudio-mcp.git
cd cucumberstudio-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Set up environment variables:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Cucumber Studio API credentials

4. Build the server:

npm run build

Docker Support

Using Pre-built Image (Recommended)

Run the official Docker image from Docker Hub:

# With environment file
docker run --env-file .env herosizy/cucumberstudio-mcp

# With environment variables
docker run -e CUCUMBERSTUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token \
           -e CUCUMBERSTUDIO_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id \
           -e CUCUMBERSTUDIO_UID=your_uid \
           herosizy/cucumberstudio-mcp

Using Docker Compose

1. Set up environment variables:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Cucumber Studio API credentials

2. Update docker-compose.yml to use the pre-built image:

version: '3.8'
services:
  cucumberstudio-mcp:
    image: herosizy/cucumberstudio-mcp
    env_file:
      - .env
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "${MCP_PORT:-3000}:3000"

3. Run with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up

Building Locally

1. Build the image:

npm run docker:build

2. Run the container:

npm run docker:run

The Docker setup includes health checks and automatic restarts for production use. The multi-stage build process creates optimized production images with only runtime dependencies (~150MB).

• MCP_CORS_ORIGIN - CORS origin setting (default: true)

Logging Configuration

• LOG_LEVEL - Log level: error, warn, info, debug, trace (default: info)
• LOG_API_RESPONSES - Log Cucumber Studio API responses (default: false)
• LOG_REQUEST_BODIES - Log API request bodies for debugging (default: false)
• LOG_RESPONSE_BODIES - Log API response bodies for debugging (default: false)
• LOG_TRANSPORT - Logging output: console, stderr, file, none (default: stderr)

Usage

Transport Options

The server supports both STDIO and HTTP transports:

STDIO Transport (Default)

# Development
npm run dev

# Production
npm start

HTTP Transport

# Development
npm run dev:http

# Production
npm run start:http

Using with MCP Clients

Desktop Extension (Recommended)

Import the .mcpb extension file directly into your compatible AI desktop application. The extension handles all configuration through its settings interface.
