112

113
+ npx testdriverai init --client all
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ <Info>
117
+ `init` detects clients already present in your project and pre-selects them in the picker. Re-running `init` is safe — it merges the TestDriver entry into existing config without overwriting your other servers.
118
+ </Info>
119
+
120
+ You'll need a TestDriver API key. Create one at [console.testdriver.ai/team](https://console.testdriver.ai/team) and `init` will save it to `.env` as `TD_API_KEY`.
121
+
122
+ ### The agent
123
+
124
+ The **TestDriver agent** is an expert test-creator that runs inside your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others). It writes, runs, and debugs real end-to-end tests by driving your app the same way a person would — using AI vision to find elements, click, type, and assert — through the TestDriver MCP server.
125
+
126
+ Unlike a chat assistant that only suggests code, the agent works **iteratively against a live sandbox**: it starts a session, performs each action, writes the generated code to your test file, verifies the result with a screenshot, and reruns the test until it passes.
127
+
128
+ During init you'll be asked which AI client(s) to install into. The agent is written to the location each client expects:
129
+
130
+ | Client | Agent location |
131
+ | --- | --- |
132
+ | Claude Code | `.claude/agents/testdriver.md` |
133
+ | VS Code (Copilot) | `.github/agents/testdriver.agent.md` |
134
+ | Cursor | `.cursor/rules/testdriver.mdc` |
135
+ | Windsurf | `.windsurf/rules/testdriver.md` |
136
+ | Codex | `AGENTS.md` |
137
+ | Zed | `.rules` |
138
+
139
+ Once installed, invoke it from your client's chat:
140
+
141
+ ```text
142
+ @testdriver write a test that logs in and verifies the dashboard loads
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ The agent will spin up a sandbox, perform the steps live, write them into a test file under `tests/`, and run it for you.
146
+
147
+ ### Skills
148
+
149
+ **Skills** are small, focused instruction files — one per TestDriver capability — that teach your AI client exactly how to use each part of the TestDriver SDK and MCP tools. They follow the [Anthropic `SKILL.md` format](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills): a folder per skill, each containing a `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter and a markdown body.
150
+
151
+ There are **106 skills**, generated directly from the TestDriver documentation, covering every action and concept: `find`, `click`, `type`, `assert`, `check`, `scroll`, `press-keys`, `provision`, caching, secrets, CI/CD, and more. They're written to the directory each client expects:
152
+
153
+ | Client | Skills location |
154
+ | --- | --- |
155
+ | Claude Code | `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` |
156
+ | Zed | `.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` |
157
+ | Codex | referenced from `AGENTS.md` |
158
+ | VS Code · Cursor · Windsurf | folded into the agent rules/instructions |
159
+
160
+ <Note>
161
+ Skills are **generated, not hand-edited** — each is built from a `.mdx` docs page and carries a `DO NOT EDIT` marker. To change a skill, edit the corresponding documentation page and run `node docs/_scripts/generate-skills.js`.
162
+ </Note>
163
+
164
+ ### MCP server
165
+
166
+ The **TestDriver MCP server** exposes TestDriver's computer-use tools — `session_start`, `find`, `click`, `type`, `assert`, `check`, `screenshot`, and more — over the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). It runs as a local stdio process:
167
+
168
+ ```bash
169
+ npx -p testdriverai testdriverai-mcp
170
+ ```
171
+
172
+ and authenticates with your `TD_API_KEY`. `testdriverai init` configures it for you, but you can also wire it up by hand:
173
+
174
+ | Client | Auto-install | MCP config file | Config key |
175
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
176
+ | Claude Code | ✅ | `.mcp.json` | `mcpServers` |
177
+ | Claude Desktop | ✅ | OS-specific | `mcpServers` |
178
+ | Cursor | ✅ | `.cursor/mcp.json` | `mcpServers` |
179
+ | VS Code (Copilot) | ✅ | `.vscode/mcp.json` | `servers` |
180
+ | Windsurf | ✅ | `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` | `mcpServers` |
181
+ | Codex | ✅ | `~/.codex/config.toml` | `[mcp_servers]` |
182
+ | Zed | ✅ | `.zed/settings.json` | `context_servers` |
183
+ | Lovable | ⚙️ partial | GitHub `AGENTS.md` + UI | — |
184
+ | Replit | ⚙️ partial | `replit.md` + UI | — |
185
+ | v0 (Vercel) | 📝 manual | web UI only | — |
186
+
187
+ <Note>
188
+ Each client uses a **different top-level key** for MCP servers. The most common mistake when configuring by hand is using `mcpServers` for VS Code (it wants `servers`), Codex (TOML `[mcp_servers]`), or Zed (`context_servers`).

342
+ ```text
343
+ @testdriver write a test that opens the homepage and asserts the title
344
+ ```
345
+
346
+ If the MCP server is wired up correctly, the agent will start a session and you'll see screenshots come back as it works. If tools don't appear, check that `TD_API_KEY` is set and restart the client.

- ## Overview
9
-
10
- The **TestDriver agent** is an expert test-creator that runs inside your AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others). It writes, runs, and debugs real end-to-end tests by driving your app the same way a person would — using AI vision to find elements, click, type, and assert — through the [TestDriver MCP Server](/v7/ai/mcp).
11
-
12
- Unlike a chat assistant that only suggests code, the agent works **iteratively against a live sandbox**: it starts a session, performs each action, writes the generated code to your test file, verifies the result with a screenshot, and reruns the test until it passes.
13
-
14
- ## What it does
15
-
16
- - **Builds tests from scratch** using TestDriver [skills](/v7/ai/skills) and best practices.
17
- - **Drives a live sandbox** via MCP tools (`session_start`, `find`, `click`, `type`, `assert`, `check`, …), getting a screenshot and generated code after every action.
18
- - **Writes code immediately** to the test file after each successful step — never all at once at the end.
19
- - **Verifies visually** with `check` to confirm each action did what was intended.
20
- - **Runs the test itself** with `vitest run` and iterates until it passes reliably.
21
- - **Shares the run report** — after each run it surfaces the `TESTDRIVER_RUN_URL` so you can watch the recording.
22
-
23
- ## Installation
24
-
25
- The agent is installed automatically by `testdriverai init`, alongside the [skills](/v7/ai/skills) and the [MCP server](/v7/ai/mcp):
26
-
27
- ```bash
28
- npx testdriverai init
29
- ```
30
-
31
- During init you'll be asked which AI client(s) to install into. The agent is written to the location each client expects:
32
-
33
- | Client | Agent location |
34
- | --- | --- |
35
- | Claude Code | `.claude/agents/testdriver.md` |
36
- | VS Code (Copilot) | `.github/agents/testdriver.agent.md` |
37
- | Cursor | `.cursor/rules/testdriver.mdc` |
38
- | Windsurf | `.windsurf/rules/testdriver.md` |
39
- | Codex | `AGENTS.md` |
40
- | Zed | `.rules` |
41
-
42
- To install for a specific client without the interactive picker:
43
-
44
- ```bash
45
- npx testdriverai init --client claude-code
46
- # or several at once
47
- npx testdriverai init --client claude-code,cursor,vscode
48
- # or everything
49
- npx testdriverai init --client all
50
- ```
51
-
52
- See the [MCP Server](/v7/ai/mcp) page for the full client matrix, including web-based clients (Lovable, Replit, v0) that require a few manual steps.
53
-
54
- ## Prerequisites
55
-
56
- You need a TestDriver API key. Create one at [console.testdriver.ai/team](https://console.testdriver.ai/team) and `init` will save it to `.env` as `TD_API_KEY`.
57
-
58
- ## Using the agent
59
-
60
- Once installed, invoke it from your client's chat:
61
-
62
- ```text
63
- @testdriver write a test that logs in and verifies the dashboard loads
64
- ```
65
-
66
- The agent will spin up a sandbox, perform the steps live, write them into a test file under `tests/`, and run it for you.
