Cypress Cloud MCP is Generally Available

Today, Cypress Cloud MCP is generally available! When we launched Cloud MCP in beta two months ago, we had a hypothesis: developers shouldn't have to copy-paste stack traces into a chat window to get their AI assistant to help them debug. Cypress Cloud already had all the context their assistant needed. We just needed to close the gap. The response told us the hypothesis was right. In the 9 weeks since beta, over 500 organizations connected, and more than 1,000 developers have used it to query Read more

Cypress Accessibility and AI Agents

We are excited to share our latest guide on Working with AI Agents, designed to help teams accelerate their accessibility workflows. Cypress Accessibility runs in the background in Cypress Cloud as your runs are recorded, automatically capturing thousands of snapshots of your application states and processing them with accessibility checks. This data was recently made available through Cypress Cloud MCP, making it easy to get access to the specific pages, rules, and elements that are showing a

Cypress AI Skills: Get More From Your AI Coding Assistant

AI coding tools can write Cypress tests. What they tend to struggle with is writing them well. Ask an AI assistant to generate a Cypress test and you'll probably get something that runs. But look closer and you'll find CSS class selectors instead of data-cy attributes, cy.wait(3000) instead of network aliases, and no awareness of the custom commands your team already built. It's a Cypress test — it's just not the kind of Cypress test you'd write yourself. That's the problem Cypress AI Skills i

Cypress Test Replay now captures canvas elements by default

Canvas capture is now on by default in Test Replay for all projects in Cypress Cloud. If your tests interact with canvas elements, you no longer need to contact Cypress to enable capture. Here's what changed, what gaps remain, and how to adjust the setting if your project needs it.

cy.prompt: Natural language testing - now in Beta! npm install cypress

Write Cypress tests in plain English: AI-powered test automation is now in beta

Writing tests has always required a translation step. You know exactly what the test should do. Getting that into code is the part that slows everything down. You stop mid-flow to find the right selector, check whether the element has a stable attribute, write the command, run it, fix it, run it again. By the time the test exists, you have lost the thread of whatever you were actually building. cy.prompt was built to remove that step. Describe what you want in plain English and Cypress handles

Cloud MCP: Give Your AI Assistant Access to Your Test Runs

Today, we are releasing the beta of Cloud MCP — a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI coding assistants and AI Agents directly to Cypress Cloud. If you've ever finished a CI run, watched it go red, and then spent the next ten minutes copy-pasting stack traces into a chat window, you know exactly what problem we're solving. We're bridging the context gap in AI-driven development. The context gap slowing down test debugging AI coding assistants have forever changed how

cy.prompt can now wait for network requests

cy.prompt now supports waiting for network requests by referencing aliases you've already defined with cy.intercept. You can keep your test instructions in one place, without breaking out of the prompt block to insert manual waits.

Cypress Studio AI — A new era of test generation. Now in Beta!

Introducing Studio AI: Stronger Validation, Less Friction

A passing test run does not always equal release confidence. Confidence comes from knowing your tests validate what users actually experience. Not just that a flow executed, but that the UI state changed appropriately, the right text appeared, and element visibility updated as expected. This is where friction shows up. After every meaningful interaction in a test, there's a decision to make. What changed? What should be verified? Those decisions take time. Under pressure, it's easy to write t
