tuskr-mcp 0.2.1

MCP server for Tuskr: read/search cases, validate setup, filter by automated, read test runs

tuskr-mcp

MCP server for Tuskr test management — browse, search, and manage test cases from Cursor or any MCP host.

Requirements

Requirement	Notes
Python 3.10–3.13	3.9 and older cannot install from PyPI
Tuskr API access	Tenant ID + API token from Settings → API
Custom field automated	Checkbox on test cases (required for automation tools)
Test case type AutoGen	Only if you use create_test_case_minimal

pip install tuskr-mcp pulls in mcp and requests automatically.

Install

python3 --version   # must be 3.10+
pip install tuskr-mcp

From source (GitHub):

git clone https://github.com/Zapkid/tuskr-mcp.git
cd tuskr-mcp
uv sync
# or: python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .

Setup

Copy config files

Pick one config location (both files must live in the same folder):

Option	Folder	Typical use
A. Project folder	Your QA/automation repo root	Same repo as your tests
B. User config	~/.config/tuskr-mcp/	One Tuskr setup for all Cursor projects

Option A — e.g. ~/projects/my-qa-repo/:

cd ~/projects/my-qa-repo
# copy from the tuskr-mcp repo if you cloned it, or create the files manually
cp /path/to/tuskr-mcp/.env.example .env
cp /path/to/tuskr-mcp/tuskr_projects.example.json tuskr_projects.local.json

Option B — shared config:

mkdir -p ~/.config/tuskr-mcp
cp /path/to/tuskr-mcp/.env.example ~/.config/tuskr-mcp/.env
cp /path/to/tuskr-mcp/tuskr_projects.example.json ~/.config/tuskr-mcp/tuskr_projects.local.json

(projects.json also works in ~/.config/tuskr-mcp/.)

Configure .env

TUSKR_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
TUSKR_API_TOKEN=your-api-token

Configure projects

Edit tuskr_projects.local.json in that same folder and set project_id per app (from the Tuskr project URL).

Connect Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

After pip install — set cwd to the folder where you put .env and tuskr_projects.local.json (Option A or B above). Cursor starts the server in that directory so tuskr-mcp can find your files:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tuskr": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "tuskr_mcp"],
      "cwd": "/Users/you/projects/my-qa-repo"
    }
  }
}

Examples:

• Option A: "cwd": "/Users/you/projects/my-qa-repo"
• Option B: "cwd": "/Users/you/.config/tuskr-mcp"

Use the same Python you installed with (which python3 if needed). To pin a venv: "command": "/path/to/venv/bin/python".

From source (editable install in the tuskr-mcp clone):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tuskr": {
      "command": "/path/to/tuskr-mcp/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "tuskr_mcp"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/tuskr-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Verify

Restart Cursor, enable the tuskr server, then run health_check and validate_tuskr_setup with your app_name.

Tuskr custom fields (test cases)

Label	Key	Type	When needed
Automated	automated	Checkbox	Automation filtering and updates
Preconditions	pre_conditions	Text	Optional on create
Priority	priority	Dropdown	Optional on create
Steps	steps	Steps	Required for create_test_case_minimal

Safe by design

Allowed	Not allowed
List, search, read cases, steps, and test runs	Update cases (except automated)
Create suites, sections, and new cases	Delete anything
Set automated on existing cases

API calls use GET and POST only. Credentials stay in local .env and tuskr_projects.local.json (never committed).

Tools

Tool	Purpose
health_check	Env, projects file, API connectivity
validate_tuskr_setup	Verify custom fields, AutoGen type, and API for one app
list_projects	Apps defined in tuskr_projects.local.json
list_test_suites / list_sections / get_sections_tree	Project structure
get_test_cases_by_section	Paginated cases; automated_filter: any, automated, manual, unset
get_test_case / get_case_steps	Single case and steps
search_test_cases	Search by key, title, or step text
list_test_runs / get_test_run	Read-only test runs
create_test_suite / create_section / create_test_case_minimal	Create resources
set_test_case_automated / set_test_cases_automated_bulk	Update automated only

Configuration

Variable	Required	Description
TUSKR_TENANT_ID	Yes	Tuskr tenant ID
TUSKR_API_TOKEN	Yes	API token
TUSKR_MCP_ENV_FILE	No	Override path to .env
TUSKR_PROJECTS_FILE	No	Override path to projects JSON

Lookup order: MCP cwd (see above), then the installed package directory (source install), then ~/.config/tuskr-mcp/. Override with TUSKR_MCP_ENV_FILE / TUSKR_PROJECTS_FILE (absolute paths recommended after pip install).

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
pip install finds no version	Use Python 3.10+; check with python3 --version
missing_env	Create .env with tenant ID and token; restart Cursor
Empty list_projects	Add apps to tuskr_projects.local.json
No module named tuskr_mcp	Run pip install tuskr-mcp, or set cwd and use a venv Python when running from source
set_test_case_automated has no effect	Add Tuskr custom field automated (Checkbox)
create_test_case_minimal fails	Add test case type AutoGen in Tuskr
automated_filter returns nothing	Confirm automated field exists; try filter any
Wrong case for C-2 vs C-20	Pass the full case key
