MCP Servers for an AI Coding Workflow

An AI coding workflow can use one MCP server to bring bug reports into the agent and another to search saved knowledge. The clip.qa MCP server gives agents access to reports and their evidence, while KnowMan provides search across saved articles, links, and memories.

Give your coding agent useful context

An agent can work with more than the code in its current task. It can also use bug reports and saved knowledge when those sources are available through MCP servers.

clip.qa connects bug reports to AI tools. KnowMan saves articles and links, searches them by meaning, answers questions with citations, and keeps memories such as claims, decisions, and playbooks.

Bring bug reports into the agent

A screen recording can show what happened, but the agent needs a report it can read. clip.qa turns recordings into structured bug reports for review and for AI coding tools. It records device context, and Chrome extension reports can include console and network requests.

The clip.qa MCP server lets an agent read reports, screenshots, video transcripts, frame analysis, and report differences. For Chrome extension reports, it can also read console logs and network requests. Reports stay private until explicitly shared, and PII is scrubbed from MCP output.

See how clip.qa turns a screen recording into a bug report for the capture-to-report flow.

Add saved knowledge as a separate source

Bug reports describe a specific issue. Saved articles and notes can provide background the agent can search when a question calls for it. KnowMan is the knowledge-side MCP server: it searches saved items by keyword or meaning, answers questions with citations, and can save a URL with an optional note.

Choose the server setup that fits

clip.qa offers a remote MCP server using Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.clip.qa/mcp. Sign in through a browser using OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. Its page documents setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. It also offers a local npm package configured with a clip.qa API key.

KnowMan offers a hosted remote MCP server at https://api.knowman.io/mcp and a local stdio server. The remote server supports OAuth sign-in or an API key. The local server runs with npx -y @knowman/mcp and requires Node 22 or newer.

Ask the agent for the right source

Use clip.qa when the task concerns a captured bug report and its evidence. Use KnowMan when the agent needs to search saved items, retrieve one item, answer from saved knowledge with citations, or find a saved memory.

Keep the request specific. Ask the agent to inspect a clip.qa report for the issue, or search KnowMan for a relevant saved article or decision. Each server gives the agent access to its own source of information.

Give your agent the context it needs

Connect clip.qa over MCP to bring bug reports and evidence to your AI tool.

Frequently asked questions

What does the clip.qa MCP server provide?

It lets an agent read bug reports, screenshots, video transcripts, frame analysis, and report differences. For Chrome extension reports, it can also provide console logs and network requests.

What does the KnowMan MCP server provide?

It searches saved items by keyword or meaning, answers questions with citations, reads one saved item, saves URLs, lists recent items, and searches saved memories.

Can I use both MCP servers in one coding workflow?

Yes. They provide separate sources: clip.qa provides bug reports and related evidence, while KnowMan provides access to saved articles, links, and memories.

How do I connect clip.qa over MCP?

Use the remote server at https://mcp.clip.qa/mcp and sign in through a browser with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. clip.qa also documents a local npm package configured with an API key.

Try clip.qa — it does all of this automatically.
