The SmartBear MCP server is designed to integrate with SmartBear's API Hub, Test Hub, and Insight Hub, providing a seamless experience for managing and testing APIs.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server which provides AI assistants with seamless access to SmartBear's suite of testing and monitoring tools, including BugSnag, Reflect, API Hub, PactFlow, Pact Broker, and QMetry
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. This server exposes SmartBear's APIs through natural language interfaces, allowing you to query your testing data, analyze performance metrics, and manage test automation directly from your AI workflow.
Supported Tools
See individual guides for suggested prompts and supported tools and resources:
- BugSnag - Comprehensive error monitoring and debugging capabilities
- Test Hub - Test management and execution capabilities
- API Hub - Portal management capabilities
- PactFlow - Contract testing capabilities
- QMetry - QMetry Test Management capabilities
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ and npm
- Access to SmartBear products (BugSnag, Reflect, API Hub, or QMetry)
- Valid API tokens for the products you want to integrate
Installation
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.
VS Code with Copilot
For the quickest setup, use the "MCP: Add server…" command in the Command Palette to add the @smartbear/mcp
npm package.
