Summary

SmartBear's official MCP server, putting BugSnag error monitoring, Reflect and QMetry test management, Zephyr, PactFlow contract testing and the Swagger API Hub behind one agent connection.

Features

  • One server across BugSnag, Reflect, BearQ, Swagger/API Hub, PactFlow, QMetry, QTM4J, Zephyr and Collaborator
  • Hosted remote servers with OAuth for BugSnag, Swagger and Zephyr — no local install
  • Per-product credentials are all optional; unused products drop out of the tool list
  • Swagger Studio tools generate and standardise APIs from a prompt
  • Contract testing through PactFlow and the Pact Broker
  • Optional BugSnag project scoping to keep searches inside one project

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it, filling in the environment variables with your own values.
  3. Restart the agent — the "SmartBear MCP" tools will be available.

Description

SmartBear ships a single official MCP server that fronts its whole testing and monitoring portfolio, so an agent debugging a production error and an agent authoring an API contract talk to the same connection.

What it reaches
  • BugSnag — error monitoring and debugging: find an error, read its stack traces and breadcrumbs, and trace it back to a release.
  • Reflect and BearQ — test management and execution, including AI-driven QA runs.
  • Swagger / API Hub — Portal and product management, Studio for API and domain management (with AI-generated APIs from a prompt and automatic standardisation), plus functional-test discovery.
  • PactFlow and Pact Broker — contract testing.
  • QMetry, QTM4J and Zephyr — test management, including Zephyr inside Jira.
  • Collaborator — code and document review, plus remote system configuration.
Two ways to connect

For BugSnag, Swagger and Zephyr, SmartBear hosts remote MCP servers at bugsnag.mcp.smartbear.com, swagger.mcp.smartbear.com and zephyr.mcp.smartbear.com. Point a client at the URL and authenticate through a browser OAuth flow — no Node.js, no tokens to paste.

Everything else, and any setup that prefers local execution, runs from the @smartbear/mcp npm package over stdio. Each product's credentials are supplied as environment variables and every one of them is optional: omit the products you do not use and their tools disappear from the surface. Supplying a BugSnag project API key narrows every search to that project; leaving it blank lets the agent work across projects.

The server is open source on GitHub with published test coverage, and per-product integration guides live at developer.smartbear.com.
