# Lucius MCP Server

A specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Allure TestOps, built with `FastMCP` and `Starlette`.

## 🎯 Motivation

Allure TestOps is a powerful tool with a huge API. When you're using an AI agent to manage your tests, it can easily get
lost in the details or fail because of a small technical mistake.

Lucius makes this easier by giving your AI tools that are simple to use and hard to break:

- **Clear Tools**: Every tool is designed for a specific task, like "finding a test case" or "updating a launch".
- **Helpful Errors**: If an AI makes a mistake, Lucius doesn't just return a code—it provides an "Agent Hint" that
  explains exactly what went wrong and how to fix it.
- **Solid Foundation**: We follow a clean "Thin Tool" structure, meaning the logic is consistent and easy for both
  humans and AI to follow.

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. **Install uv**: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`
2. **Setup Credentials**: Create a `.env` file with `ALLURE_ENDPOINT`, `ALLURE_PROJECT_ID`, and `ALLURE_API_TOKEN`.
3. **Run Server**: `uv run start`

### 🔌 Claude Desktop Integration

The easiest way to use Lucius in Claude Desktop is via the `.mcpb` bundle:

1. Download the latest `lucius-mcp.mcpb` from Releases.
2. Open with Claude Desktop.
3. Configure your Allure credentials in the UI.

### 💻 Claude Code Integration

To add Lucius to Claude Code, use the following command from within your project directory:

```bash
claude mcp add testops-mcp --transport stdio \
   --env ALLURE_ENDPOINT=https://example.testops.cloud\
   --env ALLURE_PROJECT_ID=123 \
   --env ALLURE_API_TOKEN=your_token \
   --env MCP_MODE=stdio \
   -- uvx --from lucius-mcp --refresh start
```

For detailed setup, including Claude Desktop (MCPB) integration, see [Setup Guide](docs/setup.md).
