# TestIO MCP Server - Project Brief (ARCHIVED)

> **✅ STATUS: COMPLETED - 2025-01-20**
> **📦 RELEASE: v0.2.0**
> **🎯 EPIC COVERAGE: 100% (4/4 epics completed)**
>
> This document served as the MVP planning foundation. All features have been implemented.
> See [EPIC_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md](../EPIC_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md) for final delivery status.

## Executive Summary

Build an MVP MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI-first access to TestIO's **Customer API**, enabling non-developer stakeholders (CSMs, PMs, QA leads) to rapidly prototype integrations and automate workflows without traditional development bottlenecks.

**Strategic Goal:** Empower AI-enabled extensibility for TestIO as part of EPAM's AI-first initiative.

**Scope:** Customer API only for MVP. Tester API requires tester-specific permissions and is deferred to future enhancements.

---

## Problem Statement

### Current State
- Limited development capacity creates bottlenecks for customizations and enhancements
- Customer Success Managers and other non-dev collaborators cannot quickly prototype solutions
- TestIO's APIs are powerful but require traditional development for integration
- Gap between test execution and real-time visibility for stakeholders

### Desired State
- Non-technical stakeholders can "vibe code" new functionality through AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
- Rapid creation of "throwaway prototypes" to validate ideas before committing dev resources
- AI-first integration layer that makes TestIO capabilities accessible to AI agents
- Real-time test cycle visibility without UI navigation

---

```

---

## MCP Tools Definition

### Tool 1: `get_test_status`
**Purpose:** Get comprehensive status of a single exploratory test

**Input Schema:**
```json
{
  "test_id": {
    "type": "string",
    "description": "Exploratory test ID",
    "required": true
  }
}
```

**API Calls:**
- `GET /exploratory_tests/{test_id}` - Get test configuration, status, requirements
- `GET /bugs?filter_test_cycle_ids={test_id}` - Get bugs for this test

**Output:** Structured JSON with:
- Test configuration (title, goal, testing_type, duration, requirements)
- Test status and review_status
- Bug summary (count by severity, status breakdown)
- Time/date information (created_at, starts_at, ends_at)
- Product and feature context

---

### Tool 2: `list_active_tests`
**Purpose:** List all active/running tests for a product

**Input Schema:**
```json
{
  "product_id": {
    "type": "string",
    "description": "Product ID or name",
    "required": true
  },
  "status": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": ["running", "review_successful", "all"],
    "default": "running"
  }
}
```

**API Calls:**
- `GET /products/{product_id}` - Get product details
- `GET /products/{product_id}/exploratory_tests` - Get all tests for product
- Optional: `GET /bugs?filter_product_ids={product_id}` - Get bug counts per test

**Output:** Array of test summaries with:
- Test ID, title, and goal
- Status and review_status
- Testing type and duration
- Start/end dates
- Bug count summary (if requested)

---

### Tool 3: `get_test_bugs`
**Purpose:** Get detailed bug information for a test

**Input Schema:**
```json
{
  "test_id": {
    "type": "string",
    "description": "Exploratory test ID",
    "required": true
  },
  "bug_type": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": ["functional", "visual", "content", "all"],
    "default": "all",
    "description": "Filter by bug type"
  },
  "severity": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": ["low", "high", "critical", "all"],
    "default": "all",
    "description": "Filter by severity (applies only to functional bugs)"
  },
  "status": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": ["accepted", "rejected", "forwarded"],
    "default": "all"
  }
}
```

**API Calls:**
- `GET /bugs?filter_test_cycle_ids={test_id}` - Get bugs, then filter by type/severity in MCP server

**Implementation Note:**
The API's `severity` field is overloaded (contains both bug type and severity). The MCP server must:
1. Query all bugs for the test
2. Client-side filter by `bug_type`:
   - `functional` → severity in ["low", "high", "critical"]
   - `visual` → severity == "visual"
   - `content` → severity == "content"
3. If severity filter specified and bug_type is functional, further filter by severity value

**Output:** Array of bugs with:
- Bug ID, title
- Bug type (derived from severity field: functional/visual/content)
- Severity level (only for functional bugs: low/high/critical)
- Status (accepted, rejected, new)
- Author and tester information
- Steps to reproduce, expected vs actual results
- Location/URL where bug occurs
- Attachments and screenshots
- Comments
- Known and exported flags
- Device information

---

### Tool 4: `generate_status_report`
**Purpose:** Generate executive summary report for stakeholders

**Input Schema:**
```json
{
  "test_ids": {
    "type": "array",
    "items": {"type": "string"},
    "description": "One or more test IDs",
    "required": true
  },
  "format": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": ["markdown", "text", "json"],
    "default": "markdown"
  }
}
```

**API Calls:**
- Aggregates data from `get_test_status` for each test
- Synthesizes into human-readable report

**Output:** Formatted report with:
- Test overview table
- Key metrics (total bugs, severity breakdown, export status)
- Critical issues requiring attention
- Overall progress summary

---

### Tool 5: `get_test_activity_by_timeframe`
**Purpose:** Query test activity across multiple products within a specific date range

**Input Schema:**
```json
{
  "product_ids": {
    "type": "array",
    "items": {"type": "string"},
    "description": "List of product IDs to query",
    "required": true
  },
  "start_date": {
    "type": "string",
    "format": "date",
    "description": "Start date (YYYY-MM-DD)",
    "required": true
  },
  "end_date": {
    "type": "string",

  },
  "include_bugs": {
    "type": "boolean",
    "default": false,
    "description": "Include bug counts in results"
  }
}
```

**API Calls:**
- `GET /products/{id}/exploratory_tests` for each product
- Filter results by `created_at`, `starts_at`, or `ends_at` within date range
- Optional: `GET /bugs?filter_product_ids={ids}` for bug aggregation

**Output:** Activity summary with:
- Product-wise test breakdown
- Total tests created, started, or completed in timeframe
- Testing types distribution (rapid, focused, coverage, usability)
- Optional bug metrics per product/test
- Timeline visualization data (tests by week/month)

**Use Case Examples:**
- "Show me all test activity for products A, B, C in Q4 2024"
- "What tests ran last week across my product portfolio?"
- "Compare testing activity between January and February"

### Future Success Indicators (Post-MVP)
- Number of "throwaway prototypes" created by non-dev stakeholders
- Reduction in "What's the status?" questions to dev team
- Time saved in manual test monitoring
- Feedback from CSMs on usefulness
- Extension to additional workflows (bug triage, test creation)

---

## Schema Validation & API Verification

### ✅ VERIFIED - Production API Testing (2025-11-04)

**Environment:** Production sandbox (testcloud.test.io)
**Base URL:** `https://api.test.io/customer/v2` ✅ **CONFIRMED**
**Authentication:** `Authorization: Token <token>` ✅ **WORKING**

**Dataset Size:**
- **225 products** available
- **89 exploratory tests** for sample product (ID: 598)
- Real bug data confirmed

### ✅ Verified Schema Values

#### Test Status (Customer API) - CONFIRMED
**Observed values in production (Product 25073 - Affinity Studio Website):**
- `locked` - Test is locked/in progress
- `archived` - Completed/archived tests

**Expected additional values (need verification with more test samples):**
- `initialized` - New/initialized tests
- `running` - Test actively running
- `review` - Test under review

**Note:** Status values vary by test lifecycle stage

#### Test Review Status - CONFIRMED
**Observed:** `review_successful`
**Expected additional values:** `review_in_progress`, `review_failed` (need verification)

#### Bug Severity Field - ⚠️ OVERLOADED FIELD (CRITICAL CORRECTION)

**IMPORTANT:** The `severity` field serves dual purposes:

**1. Bug Type Classification (non-functional bugs):**
- `"visual"` - Visual/UI bugs (layout issues, misaligned elements, UI problems)
- `"content"` - Content bugs (text errors, copy issues, typos)

**2. Severity Levels (functional bugs ONLY):**
- `"critical"` - Critical severity (functional bugs)
- `"high"` - High severity (functional bugs)
- `"low"` - Low severity (functional bugs)

**Logic:**
- If `severity = "visual"` → Bug is visual type, no severity level
- If `severity = "content"` → Bug is content type, no severity level
- If `severity = "low|high|critical"` → Bug is functional type with that severity

#### Bug Fields - CONFIRMED
**Complete verified structure:**
```json
{
  "id": 2149563,
  "title": "The order submit button doesn't work",
  "severity": "low",
  "status": "accepted",
  "auto_accepted": true,
  "known": false,
  "exported_at": null,
  "external_idx": null,
  "language": "en",
  "location": "www.test.io",
  "expected_result": "You can click on button and place an order",
  "actual_result": "Button is inactive",
  "steps": ["Open the site", "Click on the link", "..."],
  "author": {"name": "yevgenia_averina"},
  "devices": [...],
  "attachments": [...],
  "feature": {...},
  "test": {"id": 109363, "title": "Evgeniya Testing"}
}
```

**Response format includes `meta` object:**
```json
{
  "bugs": [...],
  "meta": {
    "record_count": 1
  }
}
```

#### Bug Status Values - CONFIRMED
**Observed in production:**
- `"accepted"` - Bug accepted by customer

**Expected additional values (need verification):**
- `"new"` - Newly reported bug
- `"rejected"` - Bug rejected by customer
- `"fixed"` - Bug marked as fixed

#### Export Status (Customer API) - CONFIRMED
**From Bug Fields:**
- `exported_at: null` - Not exported
- `exported_at: "2024-10-15T10:30:00Z"` - Exported with timestamp

**API Blueprint documented filter values:**
- `export_requested`
- `not_exported`
- `exported`

**Status:** ✅ Field exists, enumerated filter values need verification

### ⚠️ Still Need Verification

#### Test Status - Complete List
**Confirmed:** `locked`, `archived`
**Expected but need verification:** `initialized`, `running`, `review`, `pending`, `cancelled`, `completed`
**Workaround:** Accept any string value for filtering, log unknown values for documentation

### Verified API Endpoints

#### GET /products ✅
**Response:** Array of 225 products
**Sample structure:**
```json
{
  "products": [{
    "id": 598,
    "name": "test IO - HALO",
    "type": "website",
    "default_section_id": 598,
    "sections": [],
    "connection": null
  }]
}
```

#### GET /products/{id}/exploratory_tests ✅
**Response:** Array of exploratory tests for product
**Sample:** 89 tests for product ID 598
**Structure:**
```json
{
  "exploratory_tests": [{
    "id": 109363,
    "title": "Evgeniya Testing",
    "status": "archived",
    "review_status": "review_successful",
    "testing_type": "coverage",
    "starts_at": null,
    "ends_at": null
  }]
}
```

#### GET /bugs?filter_test_cycle_ids={id} ✅
**Response:** Bugs for specified test cycle
**Structure:**
```json
{
  "bugs": [{
    "id": 2149563,
    "title": "The order submit button doesn't work",
    "severity": "low",
    "known": false,
    "fixed": null,
    "exported_at": null
  }],
  "meta": {
    "record_count": 1
  }
}
```

## Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| API rate limits in staging | High | Implement caching, throttling, and graceful degradation |
| Authentication complexity | Medium | Clear .env template, validation on startup |
| API schema changes | Medium | Version API clients, add schema validation |
| Staging data availability | Low | Coordinate with team to ensure active test cycles exist |
| MCP protocol complexity | Medium | Use official SDK, reference existing MCP servers |
| Incomplete API documentation | Medium | Verify all enums/values with real API calls, document discrepancies |

### Error Handling Scenarios

The MCP server must gracefully handle these failure modes:

#### Authentication Errors
**Scenario:** Invalid or expired API token
**Detection:** HTTP 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden
**Response:** Clear error message indicating which API (Customer/Tester) failed auth, with instructions to check `.env` configuration
**Example:** `"❌ Tester API authentication failed. Please verify TESTIO_TESTER_API_TOKEN in .env"`

#### API Unavailability
**Scenario:** Staging environment down or unreachable
**Detection:** Connection timeout, DNS failure, HTTP 5xx errors
**Response:** Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts), then fail gracefully
**Example:** `"⚠️ TestIO API unavailable (timeout after 3 retries). Please try again later."`

#### Rate Limiting
**Scenario:** Too many requests to API
**Detection:** HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
**Response:** Implement token bucket or sliding window, queue requests, inform user of delay
**Example:** `"⏳ Rate limit reached. Waiting 30 seconds before retry..."`

#### Resource Not Found
**Scenario:** Test ID, product ID, or bug ID doesn't exist
**Detection:** HTTP 404 Not Found
**Response:** Validate IDs before making requests when possible, provide helpful error
**Example:** `"❌ Test ID 'ABC-123' not found. Use list_active_tests to see available tests."`

#### Invalid Parameters
**Scenario:** User provides invalid filter values (e.g., severity="medium" when only low/high/critical exist)
**Detection:** HTTP 400 Bad Request or validation in MCP server
**Response:** Pre-validate known enums, provide valid options in error message
**Example:** `"❌ Invalid severity 'medium'. Valid options: low, high, critical, all"`

#### Partial Data Availability
**Scenario:** Customer API works but Tester API fails (or vice versa)
**Detection:** One API returns 200, other returns error
**Response:** Return partial data with warning, don't fail completely
**Example:** `"⚠️ Retrieved test configuration (Customer API) but couldn't fetch active sessions (Tester API error). Showing partial data."`

#### Empty Results
**Scenario:** Valid query but no matching data (e.g., no active tests)
**Detection:** HTTP 200 with empty array
**Response:** Inform user, suggest alternative queries
**Example:** `"ℹ️ No active tests found for product 'MyApp'. Try list_active_tests with status='all' to see completed tests."`

#### Timeout
**Scenario:** API request takes too long
**Detection:** Request exceeds timeout threshold (e.g., 30 seconds)
**Response:** Cancel request, suggest narrowing query
**Example:** `"⏱️ Request timed out after 30 seconds. Try filtering by specific product or date range."`

---

## Future Enhancements (Post-MVP)

### Tester API Integration
**Why deferred:** Tester API uses tester-specific authentication, limiting access to only test cycles that specific tester is invited to. Not suitable for CSM use case where visibility across all tests is required.

**Potential future use cases:**
- **Tester-facing MCP tools** - Allow testers to use AI to submit bugs, manage sessions, view their stats
- **Admin/super-user access** - If TestIO provides elevated Tester API permissions, could enrich Customer API data with:
  - Real-time active tester counts
  - Tester session activity timelines
  - Device configuration usage statistics
  - Tester feedback and sentiment analysis

### Additional Customer API Features
- **Test creation via MCP** - Allow AI to draft/create exploratory tests from specs
- **Bulk bug operations** - Accept/reject/export bugs in batch based on AI analysis
- **Product and feature management** - CRUD operations for products/features
- **Connection management** - Configure Jira, GitHub integrations via MCP
- **Binary app upload** - Upload APK/IPA builds for mobile testing

### Cross-System Intelligence
- **Issue tracker integration** - Auto-create issues in Jira/Linear from critical bugs
- **Slack/Teams notifications** - Push test status updates to team channels
- **CI/CD integration** - Trigger tests from pipeline, post results back
- **AI-powered bug triage** - Automatically categorize, prioritize, deduplicate bugs
- **Trend analysis** - Historical bug patterns, quality metrics, test effectiveness

### Advanced Reporting
- **Custom report templates** - User-defined report formats with saved filters
- **Scheduled reports** - Automated weekly/daily status digests
- **Export formats** - PDF, CSV, Excel outputs for stakeholder sharing
- **Dashboard integration** - Embed MCP-generated insights in existing dashboards

---

## Implementation Decisions

### ✅ Resolved

**1. Language Choice: Python**
- **Decision:** Use Python for MVP implementation
- **Rationale:** Faster prototyping, excellent MCP SDK support, team familiarity
- **Future:** Can migrate to TypeScript if type safety becomes critical

**2. Error Handling: Moderately Verbose with Actionable Guidance**
- **Decision:** Provide context and suggested next steps
- **Include:** What failed, why it failed, actionable guidance
- **Exclude:** Stack traces, internal implementation details
- **Example:** `"❌ Test ID '12345' not found. Use list_active_tests to see available tests for this product."`

**3. Caching Strategy: In-Memory with Short TTL**
- **Decision:** Start with in-memory caching, short TTLs
- **TTL Values:**
  - Products list: 1 hour (rarely changes)
  - Test lists: 5 minutes (moderate updates)
  - Bug data: 1 minute (changes frequently)
- **Future:** Upgrade to Redis/file-based if performance requires

**4. MVP Scope: Read-Only Operations**
- **Decision:** MVP focuses on read-only visibility
- **Rationale:** Lower risk, faster delivery, aligns with "Test Cycle Visibility" goal
- **Excluded from MVP:** Bug acceptance/rejection, test creation/modification
- **Phase 2:** Add write operations for bug triage if stakeholders require

## Next Steps

### 1. Project Planning & Documentation (Pre-Implementation)
**Action:** Create BMAD Epic and Stories
- **Epic:** TestIO MCP Server MVP
- **Stories to create:**
  - Story 1: Project setup and boilerplate (MCP server initialization, API client)
  - Story 2: Tool 1 - `get_test_status` implementation
  - Story 3: Tool 2 - `list_active_tests` implementation
  - Story 4: Tool 3 - `get_test_bugs` with bug type/severity filtering
  - Story 5: Tool 4 - `generate_status_report` implementation
  - Story 6: Tool 5 - `get_test_activity_by_timeframe` implementation
  - Story 7: Caching layer and error handling
  - Story 8: Documentation and integration testing
  - Story 9: Claude Desktop & Cursor integration demos

**Tools:** Use BMAD `/pm` agent to create epic and stories from this brief

### 2. Stakeholder Communication
- Share finalized brief with CTO and Product Team
- Schedule Week 4 demo date
- Set up weekly progress check-ins

### 3. Development Environment Setup (After Stories Created)
- Initialize Python MCP server project
- Configure Customer API token in environment
- Set up testing framework
- Validate against Product 25073 (Affinity Studio - known working dataset)

### Open for Implementation Details
- Tool parameter naming conventions
- Response format standards (JSON vs structured text)
- Logging and monitoring approach
- Testing strategy (unit tests, integration tests)
