Let your AI assistants author, execute, and reason on tests. Thunders MCP connects tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Devin, or Windsurf directly to your testing environments, workflows, and results. Turn plain English commands into fully automated tests: no scripts, no setup, no context switching. Just ask your favorite AI, it does the rest.

Example Commands (micro-copy under sub-headline):

→ “Convert this Selenium test suite into executable Thunders test cases.”

→ “Investigate why this test failed and suggest possible fixes.”

→ “Pull in the most recent test set run and highlight any critical failures.”

→ “Build a new test case from this Figma design and add it to the smoke test set.”
