Currents Test Results MCP server

The Currents MCP server allows you to provide test results context to your AI agents by connecting them to Currents. This makes it especially useful when asking AI to fix or optimize tests that are failing in CI environments.

Installation

Prerequisites

You'll need a Currents API key before getting started. Obtain your API key by following the instructions on the Currents documentation site.

Setup with Cursor Editor

To use the Currents MCP server with Cursor Editor:

1. Open Cursor Settings > MCP and enable the MCP feature
2. Add the following configuration to your mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "currents": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@currents/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURRENTS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup with Claude Desktop

You can set up the Currents MCP server with Claude Desktop in two ways:

Option 1: Install via Smithery

Run the following command to install automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @currents-dev/currents-mcp --client claude

Option 2: Manual Configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "currents": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@currents/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURRENTS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The Currents MCP server provides several tools for interacting with your test results:

get-api-config

This tool retrieves the API key and URL used to make requests to the Currents API.

get-run

Allows you to get run information by its ID.

get-spec-file-attempts-and-errors

Retrieves instance information about test attempts and errors by their ID.

Security Notice

When connecting AI tools to Currents via MCP, you're granting them access to your API key, test results, and CI metadata. Always verify the security practices of any AI agents or services you use to ensure they handle your data appropriately.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "currents" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@currents/mcp"],"env":{"CURRENTS_API_KEY":"your-api-key"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "currents": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@currents/mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "CURRENTS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "currents": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@currents/mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "CURRENTS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
