⚠️ Limitations

Limited description available in provided data (no tool list, endpoints, or capabilities specified)

SmartBear MCP server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server which provides AI assistants with seamless access to SmartBear's suite of testing and monitoring tools, including BearQ, BugSnag, Reflect, Swagger, PactFlow, Pact Broker, QMetry, QTM4J, Zephyr and Collaborator.

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:

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
QMetry - QMetry Test Management capabilities
Zephyr - Zephyr Test Management capabilities
Collaborator - Review and Remote System Configuration management capabilities
QTM4J - QTM4J Test Management for Jira capabilities

Remote MCP Servers

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.

Product	Server URL
Swagger	`https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp`
BugSnag	`https://bugsnag.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp`
Zephyr	`https://zephyr.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp`

See the Remote MCP Servers guide for per-client setup instructions. You can connect to multiple remote servers at the same time.

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.

Prerequisites

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

Local MCP Server Installation (npm)

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.

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.

📋 Manual installation

Alternatively, you can use npx (or globally install) the @smartbear/mcp package to run the server and add the following to your .vscode/mcp.json file:

Server Configuration (HTTP mode)

Variable	Default	Purpose
`BASE_URL`	(derived from request)	The server's own public URL, e.g. `https://mcp.example.com`. Set this on any deployment behind a proxy or load balancer — otherwise the address advertised for OAuth discovery is derived from the client-supplied `Host` header.
`TRUST_PROXY`	`false`	Set to `true` only when a proxy in front of the server sets `X-Forwarded-Host` and strips any client-supplied value.
