[MCP Use Case 2] Create a New Test Case with Studio + MCP Server


In this short video, we’re sharing how Studio can help you create a brand-new test case from scratch using just a prompt powered by the Katalon Studio MCP server.

What you’ll see in the video

Starting point
The test objects are already available in the Object Repository.

From prompt to test case
After entering a prompt, Studio works with the Katalon Studio MCP server to automatically build a test case, including the steps and related objects.

One-time permissions setup
Before running the test, Studio will ask for a few permissions:

  • Accessing test objects → choose “Allow once” or “Always allow”
  • Creating test cases → we recommend setting this to “Always allow” for a smoother experience

Review and run
Once everything’s set, you can review the generated test case and run it right away.

:white_check_mark: Final result

A new test case is created successfully and ready to use, saving time while still letting you stay in control of the final output.

If you give this a try, we’d love to hear how it works for you or where you think it could fit into your testing workflow. :green_heart:

Another good getting started video on MCPs

Appreciate this is a good starting point but why don’t the item and the object fields contain the item and the object?

Can you help clarify the question a bit more, is that something needed improvement such as UI? :grinning_face:

The Item and Object fields in Web UI test cases don’t auto-populate because they require manual selection of your keywords and UI objects. This is by design,Katalon gives you full control over which action is performed on which UI element.

one thing i noticed when testing MCP is that it can create the test case file reliably, but the content really depends on how detailed the prompt is
if the prompt is vague, the test case usually ends up empty or just a skeleton

also +1 on making sure studio is already open with the project loaded before starting the MCP server. if not, the request sometimes looks like it worked but nothing actually gets created
