Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name BrowserStack
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Create a BrowserStack account, note your username and access key, and ensure Node.js >=18.0. Install the server via npx -y @browserstack/mcp-server@latest and configure it in your MCP client’s JSON file (VSCode, Cursor, or Claude Desktop) by setting BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME and BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY environment variables. Alternatively, install via Smithery for Claude Desktop. Then use prompts like “open my app on a iPhone 15 Pro Max” or “run my test suite on BrowserStack infra.”

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

- Create and manage test cases— Add, update, list, and bulk-generate test cases within Test Management projects usingcreateTestCase,listTestCases, orcreateTestCasesFromFile.
- Run manual app and browser tests on real devices— Start live testing sessions on specific device/OS/browser combinations viarunAppLiveSessionandrunBrowserLiveSession.
- Execute and debug automated test suites— Set up SDK-based test runs, fetch failure logs, and retrieve AI root cause analysis withsetupBrowserStackAutomateTests,getFailureLogs, andfetchRCA.
- Scan for accessibility issues— Run WCAG compliance scans on a URL and retrieve flagged issues usingstartAccessibilityScanandfetchAccessibilityIssues.
- Integrate Percy visual testing— Add visual snapshot commands, run Percy builds, and review detected visual changes withaddPercySnapshotCommands,runPercyScan, andfetchPercyChanges.

Manage test cases, execute manual or automated tests, debug issues, and even fix code—directly within tools like Cursor, Claude, or any MCP-enabled client, using plain English.

Easily connect the BrowserStack Test Platform to your favourite AI tools, such as IDEs, LLMs, or agentic workflows.

Manage, execute, debug tests, and even fix code using plain English prompts.

Stay in flow—keep all project context in one place and trigger actions directly from your IDE or LLM.

Click on the buttons below to install MCP in your respective IDE:

Note : Ensure you are using Node version >=18.0

- Check your node version usingnode --version. Recommended version:v22.15.0(LTS)
- To Upgrade Node :
-
- On macOS(Homebrew) - brew update && brew upgrade node or if using (nvm) - nvm install 22.15.0 && nvm use 22.15.0 && nvm alias default 22.15.0
- On Windows(nvm-windows) : nvm install 22.15.0 && nvm use 22.15.0

Test mobile apps on real devices across the latest OS versions. Reproduce bugs and debug crashes without setup hassles. Below are some sample prompts to use your mobile apps on BrowserStack's extensive cloud of real devices

# Open app on specific device "open my app on a iPhone 15 Pro Max" # Debug app crashes "My app crashed on Android 14 device, can you help me debug?"

- Unlike emulators, test your app's real-world performance on actual devices. With advancedApp-Profiling features, you can debug crashes and performance issues in real-time.
- Access all major devices and OS versions from ourdevice grid, We have strict SLAs to provision our global datacenters with newly released devices onlaunch day.

Similar to the app testing, you can use the following prompts to test yourwebsiteson BrowserStack's extensive cloud of real browsers and devices. Don't have Edge browser installed on your machine ? We've got you covered!

# Test your websites "open my website hosted on localhost:3001 on Edge" "open browserstack.com on latest version of Chrome"

- Test websites across different browsers and devices. We supportevery major browseracross every major OS.
- Seamlessly test websites hosted locally on your machine, no need to deploy to a remote server!

🧪 Automated Testing (Playwright, Selenium, A11y and more..)

Auto-analyze, diagnose, and even fix broken test scripts right in your IDE or LLM. Instantly fetch logs, identify root causes, and apply context-aware fixes. No more debugging loops. Below are few example prompts to run/debug/fix your automated tests on BrowserStack'sTest Platform.

Note:When fetching Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for a test, the server returns the suggested fix as a proposal only. It never applies code changes automatically — your assistant must present the suggestion and wait for your explicit approval before editing any files.

#Port test suite to BrowserStack "Setup test suite to run on BrowserStack infra" #Run tests on BrowserStack “Run my tests on BrowserStack” #AI powered debugging of test failures "My App Automate tests have failed, can you help me fix the new failures?"

- Fix test failures reported by your CI/CD pipeline by utilising our industry leadingTest Observabilityfeatures. Find more infohere.
- Run tests written in Jest, Playwright, Selenium, and more on BrowserStack'sTest Platform

Catch accessibility issues early with automated, local a11y scans. Get one-click, AI-suggested fixes. No docs hunting, no CI surprises. Ensure WCAG and ADA compliance with our Accessibility Testing tool

#Scan accessibility issues while development "Scan & help fix accessibility issues for my website running locally on localhost:3000" #Scan accessibility issues on production site “Run accessibility scan & identify issues on my website - www.bstackdemo.com”

Create and manage test cases, create test plans and trigger test runs using natural language. Below are a few example prompts to utilise capabilities of BrowserStack'sTest Managementwith MCP server.

# Create project & folder structure "create new Test management project named My Demo Project with two sub folders - Login & Checkout" # Add test cases "add invalid login test case in Test Management project named My Demo Project" # List added test cases "list high priority Login test cases from Test Management project - My Demo Project" # Create test run "create a test run for Login tests from Test Management project - My Demo Project" # Update test results "update test results as passed for Login tests test run from My Demo Project"

Generate test cases from PRDs, convert manual tests to low-code automation, and auto-heal flaky scripts powered by BrowserStack’s AI agents, seamlessly integrated into your workflow. Below are few example prompts to access Browserstack AI agents

#Test case generator agent "With Browserstack AI, create relevant test cases for my PRD located at /usr/file/location" #Low code authoring agent “With Browserstack AI, automate my manual test case X, added in Test Management” #Self healing agent “Help fix flaky tests in my test script with Browserstack AI self healing”

Locate or Create the Configuration File: In the root directory of your project, look for a folder named .vscode. This folder is usually hidden so you will need to find it as mentioned in the expand.

If this folder doesn't exist, create it.

Inside the .vscode folder, create a new file named mcp.json

Add the Configuration: Open the mcp.json file and then add the following JSON content.

Replace the username and <access_key> with your BrowserStack credentials.

{ "servers": { "browserstack": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@browserstack/mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME": "<username>", "BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY": "<access_key>" } } } }

- In VSCode, make sure to click onStartbutton in the MCP Server to start the server.
