Mcbuddy MCP Server

Local-first visual regression testing SDKs for modern web applications. This is the home of TestivAI. It contains everything you need to capture, diff, and report visual regressions fully locally - MIT-licensed, no account, no server.

People who work with github actions, playwright and regression testing and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
