Record the bug while it happens
Start recording before you reproduce the issue. Use the app normally, perform the failing action, and talk through what you see. clip.qa uses the recording to prepare a bug report that an AI coding tool can read.
The clip.qa homepage says that no SDK is required. You can capture from outside the app, which is useful when testing a build you cannot rebuild. It also supports iOS and Android apps.
Add the details that make the problem clear
A useful report tells another person or tool what to reproduce, what you expected, and what happened instead. clip.qa drafts a structured report from the recording for you to review.
The report can include device context such as the operating system, device, memory, and thermal information. Chrome extension reports can also include console and network requests.
Review the structured report
Check the steps to reproduce before handing the report to an AI tool. Make sure the report describes the action that failed and the visible result, such as a spinner that never clears.
clip.qa also provides video analysis, frame analysis, screenshots, and a video transcript through its MCP tools. You can review the report details before an agent works from them.
Connect the report to your AI tool
clip.qa provides a remote MCP server and a local npm package. The clip.qa MCP guide covers remote setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, as well as local setup with a clip.qa API key.
The remote server uses Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.clip.qa/mcp. It exposes tools for reports, screenshots, video transcripts, frame analysis, report diffs, console logs, and network requests. The local server exposes report content, DOM data, raw report data, project summaries, comments, and fix linking when the API key has the required permissions.
Keep bug reports available to your AI workflow
Reports remain private until you explicitly share them. PII is scrubbed from MCP output. An agent can read the report and related analysis, and it can read console logs and network requests for Chrome extension reports.
For a broader look at connecting reports to AI tools, see MCP servers for an AI coding workflow. You can also compare this setup with the approach in two MCP servers for an AI coding workflow.
