Shiplight Cloud

Sync local YAML test cases, templates, and TypeScript functions with the Shiplight cloud using MCP tools. Primarily used to push local tests up to the cloud (and pull cloud tests back down) so they can run on a schedule, be shared with your team, and integrate with CI. Also manages test runs, environments, folders, suites, and accounts via the REST API.

Setup

Requires a Shiplight cloud subscription and a SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN. If cloud MCP tools (save_test_case, get_test_case, etc.) are not in the tool list, the token is missing.

Tell the user:

Cloud tools are not available. Get your API token from https://app.shiplight.ai/settings/api-tokens, set SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN in your project's .env file, then reconnect MCP (/mcp).

If the user provides a token, append it to the project's .env file (create if needed) and tell them: "Saved to <project>/.env — make sure .env is in your .gitignore. Reconnect MCP (/mcp) to activate cloud tools."

All REST API calls require:

Authorization: Bearer $SHIPLIGHT_API_TOKEN
