Allure Testops MCP

allure-testops-mcp

An MCP server for Allure TestOps. It lets an LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, …) explore and manage projects, launches, test cases, test results and reference data through the Allure REST API.

• Stack: Python 3.10+, FastMCP, stdio transport.
• Compatibility: any Allure TestOps instance — SaaS qameta.io or self-hosted / on-prem (API at /api/rs).
• Instance-wide — all projects at once: one connection serves every project on the instance. The server isn't pinned to a single project — discover them with allure_list_projects, then pass any project_id. No reconfiguration to switch or compare projects.
• Corporate-friendly: API-token auth, optional SSL-verify toggle, deliberate proxy bypass.
• Safe by default: 13 read-only tools; the 7 write tools are off unless you opt in.

Quick start

claude mcp add allure -s user \

--env ALLURE_URL=https://allure.example.com \ --env ALLURE_TOKEN=your-api-token \ -- uvx --from allure-testops-mcp allure-testops-mcp

Then ask your agent: *"List all Allure projects"* or *"Show failed tests in the last launch for project 175"*. Get an API token in Allure TestOps under Profile → API tokens. See Configuration for other clients and Environment variables for all options.

Tools at a glance

20 tools — 13 read-only (always on) and 7 write tools (opt-in via ALLURE_ENABLE_WRITE=true). Every tool carries MCP annotations and returns both a typed structuredContent payload and a markdown summary.

⚑ Registered only when ALLURE_ENABLE_WRITE=true. Without the flag they are never imported, so the agent never sees them — see Security considerations.

Write tools — status & layer by name or id

allure_create_test_case / allure_update_test_case accept status and layer as either a name (status / layer) or a numeric id (status_id / layer_id). Names are auto-resolved to ids against the project's status/layer lists (GET /api/rs/status, GET /api/rs/testlayer) — an unknown name returns an actionable error listing the valid options. Update is partial (only the fields you pass change), and allure_delete_test_case is irreversible: it carries destructiveHint: True (compliant clients prompt) and additionally requires an explicit confirm=true argument.

Design highlights

• Full tool annotations — read tools are readOnlyHint: True / openWorldHint: True so clients don't prompt; allure_delete_test_case is destructiveHint: True.
• Structured output on every tool — each tool declares a TypedDict return type, so FastMCP auto-generates an outputSchema and every result carries both structuredContent and a markdown block.
• Actionable errors — auth / 400 / 403 / 404 / 409 / 429 / 5xx / missing-env errors are converted to specific, next-step messages (e.g. *"Authentication failed — verify ALLURE_TOKEN has API scope"*).
• Pydantic input validation — every argument has typed constraints (ranges, lengths, literals), exposed as JSON Schema; usernames are alphabet-restricted to prevent RQL injection.
• Pagination — list tools return a pagination block with page, total, has_more, next_page.
• Progress reporting — multi-call tools emit ctx.report_progress + ctx.info events.
• Version-agnostic update verb — allure_update_test_case issues PATCH and falls back to PUT on HTTP 405, so it works across Allure deployments that expose only one verb.
• Single source of truth for version — __version__ derives from installed package metadata, and a test asserts pyproject.toml matches both server.json version fields, so the published version can't drift.

Installation

Requires Python 3.10+. No manual install needed if you use uvx (recommended) — your MCP client runs it.

# run on demand via uvx (recommended)

uvx --from allure-testops-mcp allure-testops-mcp

or install with pipx

pipx install allure-testops-mcp

Configuration

Claude Code — one command:

claude mcp add allure -s user \

--env ALLURE_URL=https://allure.example.com \ --env ALLURE_TOKEN=your-api-token \ --env ALLURE_SSL_VERIFY=true \ -- uvx --from allure-testops-mcp allure-testops-mcp

Any MCP client — add to ~/.claude.json, a project .mcp.json, Cursor's mcp.json, etc.:

{

"mcpServers": { "allure": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "allure-testops-mcp", "allure-testops-mcp"], "env": { "ALLURE_URL": "https://allure.example.com", "ALLURE_TOKEN": "${ALLURE_TOKEN}", "ALLURE_SSL_VERIFY": "true" } } } }

See .env.example for a template. Verify the connection:

claude mcp list

allure: uvx --from allure-testops-mcp allure-testops-mcp - ✓ Connected

Environment variables

ALLURE_TEST_PROJECT_ID (plus optional ALLURE_TEST_STATUS / ALLURE_TEST_LAYER) are used only by the opt-in live integration tests — see Development.

Updating

The server is a stdio process your client respawns each session, so the running version is decided by the uvx invocation. uvx caches the resolved environment under ~/.cache/uv, so an older version sticks until you refresh:

uvx --refresh --from allure-testops-mcp allure-testops-mcp   # force latest on next run

uv cache clean allure-testops-mcp # or drop the cached env

Then reconnect the server (/mcp → reconnect, or restart the session). To control the version from config, edit args — pin for stability, or always-latest for currency:

// Pin a version (deterministic; bump consciously)

"args": ["--from", "allure-testops-mcp==0.8.0", "allure-testops-mcp"]

// Always latest on every start (adds a PyPI lookup per launch) "args": ["--refresh", "--from", "allure-testops-mcp", "allure-testops-mcp"]

Example prompts

Read-only:

• "List all Allure projects"
• "Show the last 10 launches for project 63"
• "Failed tests in the last launch for project 175"
• "What's the automation rate for project 842?"
• "Compare the automation rate of project 63 and project 842" — works across projects in one session
• "Show me the steps of test case 641012"
• "Which custom fields does project 1664 have?"

With ALLURE_ENABLE_WRITE=true, drive test-case CRUD in natural language:

• "Create a Draft manual TC named 'Login flow' in project 63"
• "Add an automated smoke TC in project 63 tagged smoke, layer E2E"
• "Rename test case 555 to 'Login (rewritten)' and set its status to Active"
• "Delete test case 555" — the agent passes confirm=true, and a compliant client prompts you first

Security considerations

• API token is read from `ALLURE_TOKEN` only — never passed on the command line, never written to logs.
• Secrets are never echoed back in tool responses (no header dumps, no auth reflection).
• Self-signed SSL is opt-in via ALLURE_SSL_VERIFY=false (default true). Disabling verification on a public network is a risk; use only for trusted corporate instances.
• Proxy discovery is disabled (session.trust_env = False) — the server ignores HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY so it can't be silently routed through an unintended proxy.
• Writes are opt-in and least-privilege — without ALLURE_ENABLE_WRITE=true the server registers only the 13 read-only tools and cannot create, modify, or delete anything, even with a write-scoped token. When enabled, the destructive tools (allure_delete_test_case / allure_delete_category / allure_delete_category_matcher) carry destructiveHint: True and require confirm=true.
• Input validation via Pydantic — every argument is typed and bounded; usernames are alphabet-restricted to prevent RQL injection through the search endpoint.
• A token is never more privileged than its account — Allure Api-Token auth inherits the issuing user's role, so a read-only (guest) account yields a read-only server regardless of the ALLURE_ENABLE_WRITE flag.

Rate limits

Allure TestOps enforces per-instance rate limits (typically ~60 requests/minute per token). On HTTP 429 the server returns an actionable error suggesting you wait 30–60s, reduce size, or paginate with smaller pages. Two tools make multiple API calls internally — allure_get_project_statistics (3) and allure_search_failed_tests (2–3) — and report per-step progress via MCP Context.

Development

git clone https://github.com/mshegolev/allure-testops-mcp.git

cd allure-testops-mcp pip install -e '.[dev]' pytest # unit suite (all HTTP mocked) ruff check src tests && ruff format --check src tests

Run the server directly (stdio transport — waits on stdin for MCP messages):
