MCP servers and settings

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol — a modern standard that allows AI systems (like Autopilot Chat) to securely connect to external data sources, tools, and automation workflows.

MCP works as a bridge between your AI assistant and the systems or APIs it needs to interact with. Instead of the AI just generating text responses, MCP lets it take action — such as creating requirements, assigning test cases, or running a UiPath process — all through well-defined, secure interfaces.

An MCP server hosts a set of tools (or “capabilities”) that the AI agent can call when it detects relevant intent in your chat prompt.

• The built-in Test Manager MCP server provides the following tools:
  • Assign test cases to requirements
  • Assign test cases to test set
  • Assign object label
  • Bulk create test cases
  • Create requirement
  • Create test case
  • Create test set
  • Get all labels
  • Get all object labels
  • Get requirements
  • Get test cases
  • Get test sets
  • Get test executions
  • Get test case logs for test executions
  • Unassign test cases from requirement
  • Unassign test cases from test set
• The custom MCP servers created via Orchestrator expose your own processes, automations, or APIs — such as a workflow that generates test data or creates accounts in a third-party app.

Each MCP tool behaves like an API endpoint but is AI-aware — meaning the chat understands when and how to invoke it, based on natural language.

• You type a natural-language request in the chat, such as: “Import the last two requirements from this Excel file.”
• The chat interprets your intent and looks for an MCP tool that can perform this action.
• The relevant MCP tool (e.g., Create_requirement) is triggered, taking the input from your context (like the Excel data).
• The action is executed automatically — for instance, creating requirements or linking test cases.

In addition to the built-in Test Manager MCP server, only the MCP servers created in Orchestrator are supported. To learn more about the MCP servers which can be configured via Orchestrator, refer to Orchestrator - About MCP Servers and Orchestrator - Managing MCP Servers.

Open the Autopilot Chat settings and configure the MCP servers as described in the Autopilot - User interface topic.
