Are new tools coming?

Hi there,

Thank you for Browserstack MCP Server.

If you add some new tools it would be great.

For example:

• A tool for creating test plan in desired project.
• A tool for creating test run in desired test plan.
• A tool for creating test case and adding test case to desired test run.

These tools would be very helpful to automate flows. Thank you.

Regards.

Tools request: Get automate logs and get screenshots

Hello,

I use both Automate and App Automate quite a bit. My workflow is this:

1. Test runs
2. In the case of test failure, a browserstack session URL is printed to the test logs
3. I open the BrowserStack session URL in Chrome and...
   1. View the video recording
   2. Inspect the logs for failures near the ned
   3. Inspect the network logs for errors
   4. Inspect the screenshots around the errors to try and determine what happened

I saw there is a tool for getting the network logs. Would

MCP Server doesn't load with Claude Desktop

While connecting with the CLuade Desktop, the MCP server for the Browserstack doesn't connect and shows the error. I tried with other MCP servers like GIt and Playwright, which work perfectly, but the Browserstack MCP failed to connect.

Cluade Desktop Version - Version 0.9.3 OS - macOS Sequoia 15.5 Node Version - v23.11.0

Here are the logs for reference.

### Expose Username Parameter to getBuildId MCP Tool

## Description

Right now, the `getBuildId` tool has two parameters: project name and build name. From looking at the code [here](https://github.com/browserstack/mcp-server/blob/94eb7831a17450a657681ca561c65c464b6a58c9/src/tools/rca-agent-utils/get-build-id.ts#L4), it looks like the underlying code supports passing in a username, but it probably gets the username from the MCP tool setup. At my org, we have some tests imported into browserstack by a service account, so they all show up under the

### remote mcp server not loading on Cursor

Added this configuration

"browserstack": { "url": "https://mcp.browserstack.com/mcp", "type": "http" }

But Cursor did not open the browser for authentication like it does with other MCP servers, and is stuck at loading without performing authentication.

Add Claude Code Plugin / Marketplace

To aide distribution, it would help to enable your MCP server to be installed to Claude Code via the plugin system.

See Docker's example - the key being the marketplace.json file. This tells Claude that you have "plugins", and how to install the MCP server.

To further this, list your marketplace/plugin on claudecodemarketplace.com (one your repository has a `market

NOt able to analyze appium android automation session failures

There are no network logs, session logs, or console logs available for the BrowserStack session 060e3e8bba70862a699412eaff10e098b42cb08a. This means BrowserStack did not capture any diagnostic information for this session, which can happen if the session failed to start properly or did not reach a state where logs could be collected.

If you need a deeper analysis, please provide more details about the failure (such as error messages or screenshots), or try rerunning the session and ensure the a

Dynamic Tool Discovery

Currently the mcp server exposes all tools by default. As we add support for more tools, this will lead to increased token usage and can also cause confusion/hallucinations in tool usage by the MCP clients.

Github has implemented dynamic toolsets to address this: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/issues/275

For TypeScript we can use this feature: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk?tab=readme-ov-file#dynamic-servers

Instead of toolsets/launch args or flags while
