### Description (declared)

# TestRail MCP Server

MCP server for interacting with TestRail test case management instances.

## Configuration

**Authentication**: TestRail uses HTTP Basic Authentication with your username and an API key (generated under My Settings → API Keys in TestRail). It is recommended to create a dedicated API user account rather than using a personal account.

### Option 1: config.json

```bash
cp config.json.example config.json
# Edit config.json with your API user credentials
```

### Option 2: Environment Variables

```bash
export TESTRAIL_URL="https://example.testrail.io"
export TESTRAIL_USERNAME="api-user@example.com"
export TESTRAIL_API_KEY="your-testrail-api-key"
export TESTRAIL_VERIFY_SSL="true"
```

## Installation

### Option 1: Using uv (Recommended)

[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) is a fast Python package manager. Install it first:

```bash
# macOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

No additional installation needed - `uvx` will handle dependencies automatically.

### Option 2: Using pip

```bash
pip install bibliocommons-mcp-testrail
# or for development
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
