Cursor Test Automation Integration
Cursor keeps you in flow while you write code. This integration keeps you in that same flow when it's time to test it, instead of switching to a separate tool and a separate mental model.
Write, test, ship
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets Cursor call outside tools mid-conversation. ContextQA runs an MCP server, so instead of leaving your editor, you ask, and Cursor drives ContextQA's toolset for you. See the full ContextQA MCP server →
1. Connect
Add ContextQA as an MCP server in Cursor Settings, then sign in once through OAuth 2.0 in your browser.
2. Trigger
Write or modify a feature, then ask Cursor to generate a test for the change, without leaving the editor.
3. Ship
ContextQA builds and runs the test against your app, self-heals if the UI moved, and surfaces failures in context before you commit.
"Generate a test for the checkout API refactor."

What developers actually ask Cursor to do
Test as you code
"Write or modify a feature, then generate a test without leaving Cursor."
Stay in flow. No separate tool, no separate mental model for testing.
Test Generation · 9 toolsCatch regressions before commit
"Refactor the checkout API endpoint, then test it."
A test aligned to the change runs before you push, catching breaks in dependent flows.
Execution & Results · 10 toolsExtend generated tests
"Can developers still customize the generated tests?"
Yes. Generated tests can be edited and extended like any other test in ContextQA.
Code Export · 4 toolsRuns in CI later
"Do tests generated this way run in CI later?"
Yes. They become part of your regular test suite and run in your existing pipeline.

No code, no separate dashboard. Tokens refresh automatically every 8 hours.
Using Claude or ChatGPT's Developer Mode instead? Connect to the same server over HTTP at mcp.contextqa.com/mcp.

}If something doesn't connect
Cursor doesn't show the ContextQA tools
Reload the MCP connection from Tools & MCP, or start a fresh chat. Tools load at the start of a session.
The browser sign-in seems stuck
Wait for the callback page to finish and redirect automatically before closing the tab. Closing it early cancels the sign-in.
Getting an authentication error after it worked before
Tokens refresh automatically every 8 hours. If a session sat idle much longer than that, reconnect the same way.
One editor, the whole toolbox
Every test Cursor generates can also be exported as Playwright or Cypress code, so nothing lives only inside the editor.
Common questions
No, it complements them. Cursor helps you write code faster, ContextQA makes sure that code is tested without leaving the editor.
Yes, API and mobile testing are supported through the same workflow.
Yes, they become part of your regular test suite and run in your existing pipeline.
Yes. The same ContextQA MCP server works with Claude, ChatGPT's Developer Mode, and any MCP-compatible client over HTTP.
