claude mcp add --transport http smartbear-mcp "https://bugsnag.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp"

The same server is also hosted as a remote MCP endpoint, so nothing runs on your machine.

How do I install the SmartBear MCP MCP server?

Add the command npx -y @smartbear/mcp to your MCP client: put it in claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, run claude mcp add for Claude Code, or add it to .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor) or .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code). The snippets on this page are ready to paste.

Is SmartBear MCP free?

The server is open source under the MIT license, so running it is free. It needs credentials (BEARQ_API_TOKEN, BUGSNAG_AUTH_TOKEN, BUGSNAG_PROJECT_API_KEY, REFLECT_API_TOKEN, SWAGGER_API_KEY, SWAGGER_FUNCTIONAL_TESTING_API_TOKEN, PACT_BROKER_TOKEN, PACT_BROKER_PASSWORD, ZEPHYR_API_TOKEN, QTM4J_API_KEY and QTM4J_AUTOMATION_API_KEY) for the service it connects to, which may require a paid account.
