QualityMax QA MCP

Give a coding agent independent QA evidence before it declares a web change done: scan the page, inspect the UI, generate a focused Playwright repro, then review the execution result. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with playwright, test automation and testing and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quality-max-qmax-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@qualitymax/qmax-mcp"
