The mabl cloud MCP now supports the same conversational test planning experience that's available in the mabl app. Before authoring a test, you can talk through the plan with the mabl agent: describe the test you want, review the outline it builds, and refine it as many times as you need before kicking off cloud or local test authoring.
Try it out
Ask your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client) to plan a mabl test, refine the plan, then trigger cloud or local test authoring from the same session.
- Plan. Describe the test in natural language: "Test the login flow on the staging app." The mabl agent selects the right application, environment, and credentials, then returns a detailed test outline.
- Refine. If the outline misses something, send follow-up changes: "Also verify the forgot password link works." The agent updates the plan. You can iterate until the plan covers everything you want to test.
- Author. When the plan is ready, kick off cloud or local test authoring from the planning session. The mabl agent builds the test step by step in the cloud, or hands off to the mabl Desktop App for local authoring.
- Track progress. Poll session status until the test is ready. When the session completes, you get a link to the new test, ready to run or open in the mabl Trainer.
For cloud test authoring, you can run multiple sessions in parallel for different tests; each session has its own ID.
The new conversational authoring tools replace the previous test creation tools. No installation update is needed. If you have scripts or prompts that reference the old tool names directly, update them to use the new names.
