What it does

RobotMCP (`rf-mcp`) gives an agent access to Robot Framework. The agent finds suitable keywords, runs steps live through Browser, Selenium, Appium, Requests, a database or the desktop, sees the real result and only after a passing run assembles a clean `.robot` suite. From a plain-language description the server builds BDD-style suites and data-driven templates. `robotmcp install` writes the configuration into Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, opencode, Gemini CLI, Kilo Code, goose and Cursor, and `robotmcp doctor` shows which environment the server will see. There is a Django dashboard, instruction templates and optional persistent semantic memory.

Who it is for. QA engineers and Robot Framework developers who want an agent to write verified scenarios instead of invented ones.

Good fit when

  • A login and checkout scenario is needed, and the agent picks locators on the live page.
  • API tests on RequestsLibrary are written from a task description.
  • The project already has its own keywords, and `robotmcp install` from the project directory attaches them to the server.
  • Tests are wanted in Given/When/Then style or as a data-driven template.

Not a fit when

  • Tests are not written in Robot Framework.
  • The project pins Robot Framework 6.x: the server routes the run to the attach bridge and does not execute tests on another version.
  • A single one-off request is enough, with no suite to build.

Example request

Create a test suite for https://www.saucedemo.com/: log in, add two items to the cart, check out and verify the success message. Use Selenium Library and run steps one at a time.

Environment variables

ROBOTMCP_MEMORY_ENABLED
The value true enables persistent semantic memory.

Limitations

Python 3.10 or newer is required. The server imports Robot Framework libraries into its own process and runs tests there, so for a project with its own libraries run `robotmcp install` from its directory. Browser Library needs Playwright browsers (`robotmcp init --browsers`) and Node.js. Desktop (PlatynUI) is not part of `[all]`, installs separately with `--prerelease=allow` on Python 3.12 or newer and runs on Linux with glibc 2.34 or newer, macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows.

How to disable. Run `robotmcp uninstall`, a safe and reversible removal of the server entries from agent configurations. Remove the tool itself with `uv tool uninstall rf-mcp`.

FAQ

How do I install RobotMCP in Claude Code?

Run `uv tool install "rf-mcp[all]"` and then `robotmcp install`, which writes the configuration into detected agents. By hand: `claude mcp add rf-mcp -- uvx rf-mcp`.

Which extras should I pick?

`api` installs RequestsLibrary with no extra steps, `web` adds SeleniumLibrary and Browser, `mobile` adds AppiumLibrary and `database` adds DatabaseLibrary. `all` includes everything except `desktop`.

Why does the server not see my libraries?

It runs in its own environment. Run `robotmcp install` from the project directory: it finds the project environment and attaches its libraries. Verify with `robotmcp doctor -C .`.

Which agents does `robotmcp install` support?

Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, opencode, Gemini CLI, Kilo Code, goose and Cursor. Each gets configuration in its own format and other servers are left untouched.

Is there a Docker image?

Yes: `ghcr.io/manykarim/rf-mcp` for headless runs and `ghcr.io/manykarim/rf-mcp-vnc` with a VNC desktop. Port 8000 serves MCP over HTTP and 8001 opens the dashboard.

README in short

The server plans and runs steps first and builds the suite after success. Responses can be trimmed for small models through tool profiles, state deltas and artifact externalization.
