How to connect Claude Code to Cypress

Cypress describes how to give Claude Code richer testing context through Cypress AI Skills, Cypress Cloud MCP or the Cloud CLI, the cypress tap interface, and project-specific CLAUDE.md instructions. The open-source AI Skills help Claude Code author, explain, run, debug, and document Cypress tests using local project conventions, while Cloud MCP and the Cloud CLI can retrieve recorded Cypress Cloud data such as failures, flake patterns, test durations, accessibility results, UI coverage, and Test Replay details. Users can install the complete Cypress plugin for a combined setup or configure individual components, with Cloud access requiring administrator enablement and user authentication through OAuth or personal access tokens. The cypress tap tool connects Claude Code to an active Cypress App session so it can rerun tests, inspect failing snapshots, DOM state, and accessibility information, then verify proposed fixes. The post also recommends storing concise team-specific test rules, such as selector and custom-command conventions, in a scoped CLAUDE.md file, and emphasizes that Cloud MCP is read-only, respects existing Cypress Cloud permissions, does not expose conversations to Cypress, and does not use test data for model training.
