Add the Cypress Cloud MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) MCP config guide

VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Cypress Cloud is hosted by Cypress, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Cypress Cloud can do. Read Cypress Cloud runs, failed and flaky tests, screenshots, accessibility and UI coverage reports. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

• · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
• · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.

How do I add the Cypress Cloud MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Run: code --add-mcp '{"name":"cypress-cloud","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.cypress.io/mcp"}'. VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server.

Is this the official Cypress Cloud MCP server?

Yes. It is published by Cypress as io.cypress.mcp/cypress-cloud in the official MCP registry.

Does the Cypress Cloud MCP server need an API key?

It is a hosted server. Most hosted servers sign you in with OAuth the first time VS Code (GitHub Copilot) uses them; check Cypress's docs for any plan or permission requirements.
