BrowserStack's Official MCP Server – exposes the BrowserStack Test Platform, Live devices/browsers, accessibility and test-management features through Model Context Protocol (MCP).
https://github.com/browserstack/mcp-serverYou're already using AI to write and debug code. But when it comes to cross-browser testing, you're still alt-tabbing to BrowserStack's web interface, manually configuring test runs, and hunting through dashboards for failure details.
BrowserStack's official MCP server changes that. Now your AI assistant can directly spin up live testing sessions, execute your Playwright scripts on real devices, debug test failures, and even run accessibility audits—all without leaving your coding environment.
Instead of this painful dance:
You get this seamless flow:
Debugging Flaky Tests
"My checkout flow is failing on Safari but passes on Chrome. Run it on both and help me debug the difference."
Your AI can execute the test, compare browser behaviors, analyze network logs, and pinpoint the issue—like Safari's stricter cookie handling or WebKit-specific rendering quirks.
Accessibility Auditing During Development
"Check my staging site for accessibility issues before we ship"
Get WCAG compliance analysis directly in your coding session, with specific recommendations for fixing color contrast, keyboard navigation, or screen reader compatibility.
Mobile App Performance Debugging
"My React Native app crashes on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Help me debug this."
Your AI can launch the app on real devices, capture crash logs, analyze memory usage patterns, and suggest optimization strategies.
Cross-Browser Test Matrix Execution
"Run my Playwright test suite across our supported browser matrix"
Execute tests on dozens of browser/OS combinations and get intelligent failure analysis grouping related issues.
Installation takes under 60 seconds:
For Claude Desktop:
{
"mcpServers": {
"browserstack": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@browserstack/mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME": "your-username",
"BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY": "your-key"
}
}
}
}
For VSCode with Copilot or Cursor:
Same config in .vscode/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json. Your existing BrowserStack credentials work immediately.
Most developers avoid comprehensive cross-browser testing because the tooling friction is too high. You end up testing on whatever browser you have installed, shipping bugs to users on other platforms.
This MCP server removes that friction. Your AI becomes a direct interface to BrowserStack's 3,000+ real device combinations. You can test thoroughly without breaking your development flow.
For teams doing manual testing: Stop managing device labs or dealing with emulator inconsistencies. "Open my app on an iPhone 15 running iOS 17.2" gives you a real device in seconds.
For automation engineers: Debug failed CI builds by having your AI analyze BrowserStack test results, identify patterns in failures, and suggest code fixes—all in the same conversation where you're working on the code.
For accessibility-focused teams: Run comprehensive WCAG audits as part of your normal development process instead of discovering issues during dedicated accessibility sprints.
This isn't a third-party integration that might break. BrowserStack built this MCP server themselves, which means it supports their full platform: Live testing, Automate, App Live, Percy visual testing, and Test Management.
Whether you're running Selenium scripts, debugging mobile app crashes, or ensuring WCAG compliance, you now have a direct AI interface to the same enterprise-grade testing infrastructure used by teams at Microsoft, Twitter, and Airbnb.
The server is actively maintained and already supports the most common testing workflows. Get started in minutes, and stop context-switching your way through testing tasks.
