Ai Testcase Generator Mcp

🤖 AI Testcase Generator MCP

An Model Context Protocol(MCP) server that generates comprehensive API test plans (positive, negative, and boundary/edge cases) directly from endpoint metadata—powered by LLMs.

This is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol(MCP) server for QA engineers. It demonstrates core Model Context Protocol concepts by providing:

• AI-powered tool for generating exhaustive test case plans from API endpoints and payloads
• Prompt-driven LLM integration for quality and coverage
• Extensible structure for future automation tooling

✨ Features

• 🔌 MCP-compliant server (stdio transport).
• 📝 Tool: generate_tests_excel
• Input: endpoint, HTTP method, payload, extra context.
• Input options:
• Direct endpoint details: endpoint, HTTP method, payload
• Use extraContext to provide any additional testing notes or constraints
• OutputPut: 📊 Excel test plan with columns: Sl no, Test Name, Pre-Condition, Steps, Expected Result.
• 🧠 Prompt-driven test generation with configurable LLM (Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic).
• 📜 Detailed logging with Winston.

🎥 Demo

Here’s the MCP generating test cases and exporting to Excel:

🔍 Excel Preview

Below is a quick preview of the generated test cases:

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

⚙️ Installation

Follow these steps to set up the AI Testcase Designer MCP server locally:

1. Clone the repository

``bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ai-testcase-designer-mcp.git cd ai-testcase-designer-mcp ``

1. Install dependencies

``bash npm install ``

1. Build the server

``bash npm run build ``

1. Configure the server in your MCP client

#### a. Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client

• Add the following server configuration:

• On MacOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• On Windows:

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

``json { "mcpServers": { "ai-testcase-designer-mcp": { "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "command": "node", "args": [ "c:/Auto_WS/ai-testcase-designer-mcp/build/index.js" ], "transportType": "stdio" } } } ``

#### b. Cline (VS Code Extension)

You can also use the AI Testcase Designer MCP server with Cline, the Model Context Protocol VS Code extension.

Quick Start:

1. Install Cline from the VS Code Marketplace.
2. Open the Cline sidebar (from the VS Code activity bar).
3. Go to the "MCP Servers" section and click "Add New MCP Server".
4. Fill in the server details:

``json { "mcpServers": { "ai-testcase-designer-mcp": { "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "command": "node", "args": [ "c:/Auto_WS/ai-testcase-designer-mcp/build/index.js" ], "transportType": "stdio" } } } ``

1. Test the connection and save.

For a visual step-by-step guide, see below:

For detailed Cline guidance, see the official docs: cline.bot/getting-started/installing-cline#vs-code-marketplace%3A-step-by-step-setup

c. Hermes Agent

You can also use the AI Testcase Designer MCP server with Hermes Agent.

• Add the following server configuration to ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers:

mcp_servers:
  ai-testcase-designer-mcp:
    command: "node"
    args: ["/absolute/path/to/ai-testcase-designer-mcp/build/index.js"]

🔑 API Key & Work Directory Setup

To use the AI Testcase Designer MCP.

1. Get your Groq API key from here for free: https://console.groq.com/keys
2. A working directory (WORK_DIR) where generated Excel test plans and server logs will be saved.

Update your config.json file like this:

{
  "MODEL_API_KEY": "gsk_7Ma3Fabcd ",
  "WORK_DIR": "C:/Auto_WS/ai-testcase-designer-mcp"
}

How to Use

1. 🖥️ Open Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible client).
2. 📂 Download Sample Chat Message: [samplechatmessage.txt](./assets/samplechatmessage.txt) and copy its content.
3. ✉️ Paste the content into the chat and send the message: the AI will generate detailed test cases in Excel format.
4. 💾 Generated Excel files and server logs are saved in your WORK_DIR folder.

▶️ Example Request

{
  "name": "generate_tests_excel",
  "arguments": {
    "endpoint": "https://api.example.com/v1/users",
    "method": "POST",
    "payload": {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "john@example.com"
    },
    "extraContext": "Focus on invalid email and empty payload scenarios."
  }
}

📊 Example Excel Output

| Sl no | Test Name | Pre-Condition | Steps | Expected Result | |-------|-------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------| | 1 | Valid User Create | DB is empty | Send POST with valid payload | User created successfully | | 2 | Missing Email | DB is empty | Send POST with name only | 400 validation error | | 3 | Invalid Email | DB is empty | Send POST with invalid email format | 422 error message |

📂 Files Output

Files are written to: ./workdir/generated/

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
