octomind mcp server: let agents create and manage e2e tests

Octomind provides a whole e2e platform for test creation, execution and management including auto-fix. With this MCP server you can use Octomind tools and resources in your local development environment and enable it to create new e2e tests, execute them and more. see https://octomind.dev/ and https://octomind.dev/docs/mcp/install-octomind-mcp for more details.

See it in action together with testrail mcp

Configuration

Environment Variables

The server uses the following environment variables:

APIKEY - The API key for Octomind API (required)
OCTOMIND_API_URL - Base URL for the API endpoint to use (defaults to https://app.octomind.dev/api)
REDIS_URL - Redis connection URL for session storage (optional, format: redis://host:port)
SESSION_EXPIRATION_SECONDS - Time in seconds after which sessions expire (optional, Redis only)

Command Line Options

The server supports the following command line options:

-s, --sse - Enable SSE transport mode
-t, --stream - Enable Streamable HTTP transport mode
-c, --clients - Show client configuration examples
-p, --port <port> - Port to listen on (default: 3000)
-r, --redis-url <url> - Redis URL for session storage
-e, --session-expiration <seconds> - Session expiration time in seconds

Session Storage

The server supports two types of session storage:

In-memory storage (default) - Sessions are stored in memory and will be lost when the server restarts
Redis storage - Sessions are stored in Redis and can persist across server restarts

For production deployments, it's recommended to use Redis storage with an appropriate session expiration time. The Redis storage option also enables horizontal scaling with multiple server instances.

Logging Configuration

LOG_FILENAME - The file to write logs to (only for debugging). If not set, logging is disabled
LOG_LEVEL - The log level to use (defaults to info)
