Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or higher
Node.js 14.0 or higher (for npx method)
UV (for UV method - optional but recommended)
Git (for installation from repository)

Installation & Usage

Method 1: Using npx (Node.js Package Manager)

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., mcp.json) in your VS code or VS code insider:

{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "git+https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git",
        "--project-dir=/path/to/your/project"  //Optional- If you want to run the mcp for local virtual environment or specific project only
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Method 2: Install from PyPI

# Install the package
pip3 install robotframework-mcp

# Run the MCP server
robotframework-mcp

For MCP Clients (VS code or VS code inside, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "robotframework-mcp",
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Method 3: Using UV

First install UV:

# Install UV (choose one method)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # Unix/macOS
# OR
pip install uv  # Any platform
# OR on Windows PowerShell (as Administrator)
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Then add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "git+https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git",
        "python",
        "-c",
        "import mcp_server; mcp_server.main()"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Method 4: Clone Repository (Development/Local Setup)

For development or when you want to modify the source code:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git
cd robotframework-MCP

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the MCP server directly
python mcp_server.py

For MCP Clients (VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.):

{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/cloned/robotframework-MCP/mcp_server.py"],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Or using the Node.js wrapper from cloned repo:

{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/cloned/robotframework-MCP/bin/robotframework-mcp.js",
        "--project-dir=/path/to/your/project"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The MCP server provides the following comprehensive tools for Robot Framework test automation:

🔧 Core Test Generation

create_login_test_case(url, username, password, template_type="appLocator") - Generate validated login test with configurable selectors
create_page_object_login(template_type="appLocator") - Generate login page object model with validation
create_data_driven_test(test_data_file="test_data.csv") - Generate data-driven test templates
create_api_integration_test(base_url, endpoint, method="GET") - Generate API + UI integration tests

⚡ Advanced Keywords

create_advanced_selenium_keywords() - Generate advanced SeleniumLibrary keywords (dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, alerts, etc.)
create_extended_selenium_keywords() - Generate extended keywords with screenshots, performance monitoring, and window management

📊 Performance & Monitoring

create_performance_monitoring_test() - Generate comprehensive performance testing with metrics collection
