MCP support
The MCP server exposes QTM4J Open API operations as tools for MCP clients, including test case, folder, step, and cycle management. It requires a QTM4J API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

The full set of tools (including search_test_cases with startAt, list_all_project_test_cases, folder and step helpers) is defined in src/tools.ts. After npm run build, run npm run list-tools to print every registered tool name — use this to confirm Cursor is using this build (you should see list_all_project_test_cases).
Cursor: use the local build for full functionality
npx @denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server may be an older npm release. To guarantee tools such as list_all_project_test_cases and correct startAt handling:
- In this directory:
npm install && npm run build. - Merge
cursor-mcp.example.jsoninto your user Cursor config~/.cursor/mcp.json(Windows:%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json). Adjust theargspath to your absolutedist/index.js. - Run
npm run list-toolsand confirm the tool count matches expectations. - Restart Cursor or toggle the MCP server off/on.
Cursor workspace tool descriptors
If you use Cursor’s workspace mcps/<server>/tools/*.json hints for the agent, keep those JSON schemas in sync with src/tools.ts (same parameter names as the Zod definitions). Rebuild and restart MCP after changing tools.
Setup
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- QTM4J Open API key (generate from Jira: QMetry > Configuration > Open API)
Use with Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"qtm4j": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"QTM4J_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"QTM4J_BASE_URL": "https://qtmcloud.qmetry.com/rest/api/latest",
"QTM4J_PROJECT_ID": "10800"
}
}
}
}
Use with JetBrains IDEs
In JetBrains AI Assistant, open Tools > AI Assistant > Model Context Protocol (MCP) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"qtm4j": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"QTM4J_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"QTM4J_BASE_URL": "https://qtmcloud.qmetry.com/rest/api/latest",
"QTM4J_PROJECT_ID": "10800"
}
}
}
}
Restart AI Assistant after saving the configuration.
Use with VS Code
Add this to your user or workspace MCP configuration file, typically .vscode/mcp.json or your profile-level mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"qtm4j": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"QTM4J_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"QTM4J_BASE_URL": "https://qtmcloud.qmetry.com/rest/api/latest",
"QTM4J_PROJECT_ID": "10800"
}
}
}
}
Use with Antigravity
In Antigravity, open Manage MCP Servers and then View raw config, then add this to mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"qtm4j": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"QTM4J_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"QTM4J_BASE_URL": "https://qtmcloud.qmetry.com/rest/api/latest",
"QTM4J_PROJECT_ID": "10800"
}
}
}
}
Build
npm install
npm run build
Testing
Run the hermetic test suite:
npm test
Run once without watch mode:
npm run test:run
Generate a coverage report:
npm run test:coverage
Run opt-in live integration tests against a real QTM4J environment:
npm run test:live
Live tests are skipped unless the required environment is present. The live suite currently supports:
- Read-focused checks using
QTM4J_API_KEY,QTM4J_BASE_URL, andQTM4J_PROJECT_ID - Search coverage with
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_CASE_KEY - Cycle listing coverage with
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_CYCLE_ID - Attachment URL coverage with
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_EXECUTION_ID - Optional mutation checks only when
QTM4J_LIVE_ENABLE_MUTATIONS=1
Example:
QTM4J_API_KEY=your-api-key \
QTM4J_PROJECT_ID=10800 \
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_CASE_KEY=PE26-TC-2 \
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_CYCLE_ID=PE26-R1 \
QTM4J_LIVE_TEST_EXECUTION_ID=12345 \
npm run test:live
Local Development
Copy cursor-mcp.example.json into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (merge with existing mcpServers) and set args to the absolute path of dist/index.js, for example on Windows:
"args": ["C:/Users/you/projects/qa-all-in-one/tools/qtm4j-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
Optional: NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED": "0" in env only if you must use self-signed TLS.
Publish
This repository uses a tag-driven GitHub Actions release workflow.
- Align
package.jsonandserver.jsonto the release version. - Build and verify locally:
npm run build
npm run test:run
- Commit the release-prep changes.
- Create and push the release tag:
git tag v1.1.0
git push origin sync/desktop-qtm4j-source
git push origin v1.1.0
- GitHub Actions will verify the tag matches
package.jsonandserver.json, publish the npm package, and then publishserver.jsonto the MCP Registry.
You can then verify discovery with:
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=io.github.denis-platonov/qtm4j"
GitHub Actions
This repo includes two workflows:
CI: runsnpm run build,npm run test:run, andnpm run test:coverageon pushes tomainand on pull requestsRelease: runs on tags matchingv*, verifies the tag matchespackage.jsonandserver.json, publishes to npm, and then publishesserver.jsonto the MCP Registry
To use the release workflow, add this repository secret:
NPM_TOKEN: npm access token with permission to publish@denis-platonov/qtm4j-mcp-server
Then cut a release like this:
git tag v1.1.0
git push origin v1.1.0

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
