The MCP server for AI agents shipped in the September 2026 release (build 2.0.96.231). It lets you connect Claude, Cursor, or another client that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to Shift-Left Studio.
See the September 2026 release notes for the full list of changes in that build.
MCP server vs. JSON-RPC 2.0 / MCP testing
The same release also added JSON-RPC 2.0 and MCP testing. The two are different features:
- MCP server (this article): an AI agent connects to Shift-Left Studio and works with it.
- JSON-RPC 2.0 / MCP testing: Shift-Left Studio tests your JSON-RPC service or MCP server, discovering its tools as testable endpoints. Available in Trial and Enterprise editions.
Alternative: the Public API
If you would rather drive Shift-Left Studio from a script, pipeline, or an agent framework that makes plain HTTP calls, use the Public API: authenticate, trigger test runs, poll status, and fetch results.
