Setup
Install smartbear in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/smartbear/smartbear-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server which provides AI assistants with seamless access to SmartBear's suite of testing and monitoring tools, includingBearQ,BugSnag,Reflect,Swagger,PactFlow,Pact Broker,QMetry,QTM4J,ZephyrandCollaborator.
See individual guides for suggested prompts and supported tools and resources:
- BearQ- AI-powered QA test management and execution capabilities
- BugSnag- Comprehensive error monitoring and debugging capabilities
- Reflect- Test management and execution capabilities
- Swagger
- Portal- Portal and product management capabilities
- Studio- API and Domain management capabilities, including AI-powered API generation from prompts and automatic standardization
- Contract Testing (PactFlow)- Contract testing capabilities
- Functional Testing- API test discovery capabilities
For BugSnag, Swagger, and Zephyr, SmartBear hosts Remote MCP Servers that you can connect to directly from your MCP client via a URL — no installation, Node.js, or API tokens required. Authentication is handled through an OAuth browser flow.
Need BearQ, Reflect, QMetry, QTM4J, PactFlow, Collaborator, or Functional Testing?These products are only available via the local npm package below, which bundles all products into a single MCP server.
- Node.js 22+ and npm
- Access to SmartBear products (BugSnag, Reflect, Swagger, QMetry, QTM4J or Zephyr)
- Valid API tokens for the products you want to integrate
For all products — or if you prefer running the server locally — the MCP server is distributed as an npm package@smartbear/mcp, making it easy to integrate into your development workflow.
The server is started with the API key or auth token that you use with your SmartBear product(s). They are optional and can be removed from your configuration if you aren't using the product. For BugSnag, if you provide a project API key it will narrow down all searches to a single project in your BugSnag dashboard. Leave this field blank if you wish to interact across multiple projects at a time.
For the quickest setup, use the "MCP: Add server…" command in the Command Palette to add the@smartbear/mcpnpm package.
Alternatively, you can usenpx(or globally install) the@smartbear/mcppackage to run the server and add the following to your.vscode/mcp.jsonfile:
