Source availability and setup limitation (2026-10-04)

The separate source repository contains vscode-extension and jetbrains-plugin projects. This page describes their source features and local packaging; it does not confirm marketplace publication or an end-to-end IDE installation. Their current registration code still emits npm references to the unavailable @testfly/mcp, and the VS Code registrar emits the wrong Playwright package. Inspect and correct generated MCP configuration using the manual source setup. The setup action alone is not sufficient at present.

IDE Plugins & Studio Extensions

TestFly provides official extensions for both Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Aqua), transforming your development environment into an interactive AI test studio.

Zero Python. Native IDE performance.

1. Visual Studio Code Extension (testfly-vscode)​

The TestFly Studio extension integrates TestFly with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop.
