Read your Cypress Test Replay from the terminal, and hand it to your agent

These days, a lot of your day to day work runs through an AI coding agent. It reads your code, writes and runs your tests, and can gather the metadata around a failed CI run: which tests failed, the error, the stack trace. But the rich detail of what actually happened at the moment a test flaked or failed has stayed with you as a manual process. So you've been the middleman between the full failure context and your agent. You open the Test Replay, reason through what went wrong, and translate iRead more

Run Cypress at Scale in Harness CI with Smart Orchestration

Your Cypress end-to-end suite started fast. Then it grew. More specs, more coverage, more release confidence, all wins your team celebrated. But as your quality practice matured and the suite kept growing, run times started to creep up, climbing from a few minutes toward an hour or more. Now pull requests wait in a queue, and the feedback loop that used to feel nearly instant is long enough to pull you out of your workflow and stall velocity. If this is a familiar story for your team, the reass

Cypress Ambassador Spotlight: Raju Dandigam

What motivates you to be a Cypress Ambassador? What motivates me is the impact Cypress can have on how engineering teams think about quality. I have seen teams move from slow, fragile testing workflows into fast, reliable, developer-driven automation using Cypress. In my experience leading adoption in a large production environment, Cypress was not just a tool change, it helped create a cultural shift where testing became part of everyday development, feedback loops became faster, and teams gai

Cypress Ambassador Spotlight: Alejandro Brugarolas

What motivates you to be a Cypress Ambassador? The desire to be part of a community focused on software quality. How do you currently help others that are either using Cypress or interested in using Cypress? As a teacher, I teach testing concepts and how to use Cypress for end-to-end testing. What is your favorite Cypress feature? On one hand, I find interceptors extremely useful, but I also love how easy it is to extend Cypress's capabilities and create new plugins. What is your favorite

How to Connect an AI Agent to a Live Cypress Test Session

If you've used Cypress Cloud MCP, you know what it looks like when your agent triages a CI failure on its own: no copy-pasting, no context switching. But what about when you're developing locally? When a test fails in cypress open, your agent is still on the outside. It can't see the runner, the DOM, or what the app looked like when it broke. You're still the one relaying that information. Connecting the Chrome DevTools MCP to your Cypress session changes that. Your agent gets direct access to

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

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
