Coding agents and access
MCP server integration
TesterArmy's hosted MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Codex and VS Code direct access to projects, tests and runs.
What the agent sees
A Claude Code session runs the triage prompt. The agent reads the verdict, the transcript and the browser console and network logs, then names the failing request.

- No API key
Clients sign in with OAuth 2.1 and dynamic client registration, so there is no API key to rotate.
- Web telemetry
Console and network logs are available for web runs once they finish, while mobile runs have the transcript.
- Team scoped
Every tool call is scoped to one team, and each tool declares whether it reads, writes or deletes.
How it works
Setup happens in the coding agent's own MCP configuration, and the first reply before sign-in reads No authorization provided, which is expected until the browser OAuth flow completes.
Add the hosted server
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at https://tester.army/mcp, the server TesterArmy hosts, with nothing to configure ahead of time.
Sign in through the browser
On first use the client registers itself and opens a browser for the TesterArmy sign-in, which in Claude Code starts with the /mcp command.
Ask in plain language
Once connected, the agent creates tests, queues runs for a test or a group, reads failures and fetches the built-in guides with get_guide.
Works with
Claude Code, Codex and Cursor each have a setup page for this server with their own commands and session, and the GitHub App tests the pull requests those agents write.
Questions
Connect a coding agent to TesterArmy
Create a TesterArmy account, point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at https://tester.army/mcp, and sign in over OAuth when the browser opens.
