| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | OAuth is recommended. Supported clients use browser sign-in and an automatically managed 30-day session. A Cypress MCP personal access token is available for clients that cannot use OAuth. | The hosted service uses MCP OAuth layered over Sentry OAuth; raw Sentry credentials stay server-side. Stdio uses a Sentry user auth token and may also require OpenAI or Anthropic credentials for AI-powered search. |
| Cost | Cloud MCP is included at no additional cost on all Cypress Cloud plans, including Starter. Current usage limit is 100 tool requests per hour; underlying Cypress Cloud plan/product availability and data retention still apply. | The repository is source-available under its published license and the hosted MCP has no separately documented fee in the reviewed sources. Normal Sentry plan/usage, Seer, and external LLM-provider charges may apply. |
| Permissions | Access is scoped to the authenticated Cypress Cloud user's existing roles and permissions in MCP-enabled organizations. Organization admins can disable the integration for the whole organization. OAuth sessions can be individually revoked. | Hosted OAuth requests org:read, project:write, team:write, and event:write upstream, then narrows exposed actions through granted MCP skills and optional /mcp/:org/:project resource paths. Stdio documentation lists org/project/team read/write and event write token scopes. |
| Data handling | The MCP returns Cypress Cloud test/run data such as run summaries, failed-test details, stack traces, Test Replay links, flake data, accessibility reports, and UI Coverage data. Cypress states that it receives tool-call inputs, not the user's AI conversation, and that returned Cypress data is not used to train or improve an LLM. | Issue, event, trace, release, team, project, and related telemetry may be returned to the MCP client. Hosted mode stores upstream OAuth credentials in encrypted grant properties and gives the client a separate MCP token. AI search tools may process query/event context through configured model infrastructure. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Low to medium. The production data tools are read-oriented and user-scoped, but they can expose sensitive test/CI information to the connected AI client. The feedback tool sends feedback to Cypress, so the surface is not literally side-effect-free even though it cannot modify test code or delete runs. | Production error telemetry often contains sensitive values, while upstream OAuth scopes include write capabilities. Prefer a project-constrained hosted URL, minimal granted skills, human approval for mutations, and prior telemetry scrubbing. |
