## Installation

### Install using pipx (Recommended)

The safest and cleanest way to install MCP servers is using `pipx`, which isolates packages in their own virtual environments.

#### Install pipx first:

**macOS (Homebrew):**
```bash
brew install pipx
```

**Windows:**
```bash
# Using pip
python -m pip install --user pipx

# Or using scoop
scoop install pipx
```

**Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):**
```bash
# Using apt
sudo apt update && sudo apt install pipx

# Or using pip
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
```

#### Install the MCP server:
```bash
pipx install mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud
```

### Alternative: Install using Poetry

If you're using Poetry for dependency management in your project:

```bash
# Add to your project
poetry add mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud

# Or install globally in a new environment
poetry new mcp-zephyr-project
cd mcp-zephyr-project
poetry add mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud
poetry shell
```

### Verify Installation

After installation, verify it works:

```bash
python -c "import mcp_zephyr_scale_cloud; print('✅ Successfully installed!')"
```

## Integration with Cursor

After installing the package, add the following to your Cursor configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zephyr-scale-cloud": {
      "command": "mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud",
      "env": {
        "ZEPHYR_SCALE_API_TOKEN": "your-zephyr-api-token",
        "ZEPHYR_SCALE_BASE_URL": "https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2",
        "ZEPHYR_SCALE_DEFAULT_PROJECT_KEY": "YOURPROJ"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Configuration Options:

- **ZEPHYR_SCALE_API_TOKEN**: Your Zephyr Scale API token (required)
- **ZEPHYR_SCALE_BASE_URL**: API base URL (optional, defaults to `https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2`)  
- **ZEPHYR_SCALE_DEFAULT_PROJECT_KEY**: Default project key for tools that support it (optional)

#### Environment Variable Fallback

Many tools now support automatic project key resolution. If you have access to multiple projects, you can set `ZEPHYR_SCALE_DEFAULT_PROJECT_KEY` to avoid specifying the project key in every tool call. Tools like `get_test_cases`, `get_folders`, and others will automatically use this default when no explicit project key is provided.

### Getting Zephyr API Token:

1. In JIRA, go to **Apps** → **Zephyr Scale** → **API Access Tokens**
2. Click **Create access token**
3. Copy the generated token and use it as your `ZEPHYR_SCALE_API_TOKEN`

For detailed instructions, see: [API Access Tokens Management](https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr/docs/en/rest-api/api-access-tokens-management.html)

### About Zephyr Scale Cloud API

This package interfaces with the Zephyr Scale Cloud REST API, which provides comprehensive test management capabilities within Jira. The API allows you to:

- **Import and manage test data** from any framework or tool
- **Store test execution results** from automated testing
- **Integrate with CI/CD pipelines** for seamless test reporting
- **Access test cases, cycles, plans, and execution data**

**Key API Information:**
- **Base URL**: `https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2/`
- **Authentication**: JWT Bearer token
- **Protocol**: HTTP-based REST API
- **Supported operations**: GET, POST, PUT requests for data retrieval and submission

The MCP Zephyr Scale Cloud package provides 25 tools that wrap these API endpoints, making them easily accessible through AI assistants and automation workflows.

Status operations allow you to manage test execution statuses in Zephyr Scale Cloud. Each status can be associated with different entity types:

### **Status Types:**
- `TEST_CASE` - For test case statuses
- `TEST_PLAN` - For test plan statuses  
- `TEST_CYCLE` - For test cycle statuses
- `TEST_EXECUTION` - For test execution statuses

### **Example Usage:**

```python
# Get all statuses for a specific project and type
statuses = await get_statuses(
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    status_type="TEST_EXECUTION",
    max_results=100
)

# Create a new test execution status
new_status = await create_status(
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    name="In Review",
    status_type="TEST_EXECUTION",
    description="Test is under review",
    color="#FFA500"
)

# Update an existing status
updated = await update_status(
    status_id=123,
    project_id=456,
    name="Reviewed",
    index=5,
    description="Test has been reviewed and approved"
)
```

### **Status Properties:**
- **Name**: Human-readable status name (max 255 chars)
- **Type**: One of the four status types listed above
- **Description**: Optional detailed description (max 255 chars)
- **Color**: Optional hex color code (e.g., '#FF0000')
- **Index**: Position/order in status lists
- **Default**: Whether this is the default status for the type
- **Archived**: Whether the status is archived

## Folder Operations Guide

Folder operations allow you to organize and manage test artifacts in Zephyr Scale Cloud. Folders provide hierarchical structure for test cases, test plans, and test cycles.

### **Folder Types:**
- `TEST_CASE` - For organizing test cases
- `TEST_PLAN` - For organizing test plans  
- `TEST_CYCLE` - For organizing test cycles

### **Example Usage:**

```python
# Get all folders for a specific project and type
folders = await get_folders(
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    folder_type="TEST_CASE",
    max_results=100
)

# Create a new root folder
root_folder = await create_folder(
    name="Smoke Tests",
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    folder_type="TEST_CASE"
    # parent_id is None for root folders
)

# Create a child folder
child_folder = await create_folder(
    name="Login Tests",
    project_key="MYPROJ", 
    folder_type="TEST_CASE",
    parent_id=123  # ID of the parent folder
)

# Get details of a specific folder
folder_details = await get_folder(folder_id=456)
```

### **Folder Properties:**
- **Name**: Human-readable folder name (1-255 chars)
- **Type**: One of the three folder types listed above
- **Project Key**: Jira project key where the folder belongs
- **Parent ID**: ID of parent folder (null for root folders)
- **Index**: Position/order within the parent folder
- **ID**: Unique identifier assigned by Zephyr Scale

### **Folder Hierarchy:**
- Folders can be nested to create hierarchical organization
- Root folders have `parent_id = null`
- Child folders reference their parent via `parent_id`
- Each folder type maintains its own hierarchy within a project

## Test Case Management Guide

The test case management tools provide comprehensive CRUD operations for managing test cases in Zephyr Scale Cloud.

### **Key Features:**
- **Full CRUD Operations**: Create, read, update, and retrieve test cases
- **Advanced Pagination**: Efficient offset-based pagination with performance optimizations
- **Version Management**: Access to test case version history
- **Link Management**: Connect test cases to Jira issues and web resources
- **Rich Metadata**: Support for priorities, statuses, folders, components, and custom fields
- **Environment Integration**: Automatic project key resolution from environment variables

### **Pagination Performance Tips:**
- Use `max_results=1000` for fastest bulk data retrieval
- Follow offset-based pagination: `start_at = current_start_at + max_results`
- Ensure `start_at` is a multiple of `max_results` (API requirement)
- Check `len(values) < max_results` to detect the last page

### **Example Usage:**

```python
# Get test cases with maximum performance
test_cases = await get_test_cases(
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    max_results=1000,  # Maximum for best performance
    start_at=0
)

# Create a comprehensive test case
new_test_case = await create_test_case(
    name="Login functionality test",
    project_key="MYPROJ",
    objective="Verify user can log in successfully",
    priority_name="High",
    status_name="Draft",
    folder_id=123,
    labels=["smoke", "authentication"]
)

# Update test case with validation
updated = await update_test_case(
    test_case_key="MYPROJ-T123",
    name="Updated login test",
    priority_id=456,
    status_id=789
)

# Link to Jira issue for traceability
link_result = await create_issue_link(
    test_case_key="MYPROJ-T123",
    issue_id=456789
)
```

## Troubleshooting

### **Installation Issues**

#### **pipx not found**
Install pipx first using the platform-specific instructions in the Installation section above.

#### **"externally-managed-environment" Error**
This error occurs when trying to use `pip` directly. Solution:
- **Use pipx instead:** `pipx install mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud` (recommended)
- **Or use Poetry:** Follow the Poetry installation instructions above

#### **"No matching distribution found" Error**
- Ensure you have Python 3.10 or higher: `python3 --version`
- Update pipx: `pipx upgrade-all`
- Try with explicit Python version: `python3.10 -m pipx install mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud`

#### **"command not found: mcp-zephyr-scale-cloud"**
- **With pipx:** Check installation with `pipx list`
- **PATH issue:** Run `pipx ensurepath` to add pipx bin directory to PATH
- **With Poetry:** Ensure you're in the Poetry shell with `poetry shell`

#### **pipx PATH warnings**
If you see warnings about PATH not being set:
```bash
# Add pipx to PATH
pipx ensurepath

# Restart your shell or run:
source ~/.bashrc  # Linux
source ~/.zshrc   # macOS with zsh
```

### **Configuration Issues**

#### **"Configuration Error: Missing API token"**
- Set environment variable: `export ZEPHYR_SCALE_API_TOKEN="your-token"`
- Or configure in Cursor settings (see Integration section above)
- Verify token in JIRA: Apps → Zephyr Scale → API Access Tokens

#### **"401 Unauthorized" or "403 Forbidden"**
- Check your API token is valid and active
- Verify project permissions in JIRA
- Ensure correct base URL for your region
