Tools (149)

format_json
Validate and pretty-print a string that is ALREADY valid JSON. Strict by design — it is a validity gate: valid JSON comes back formatted, anything else is rejected with the exact parse error. It never repairs, completes, or guesses. NOT for: plain text or prose (will fail), JSON embedded in markdown
generate_uuid
Generate one or more cryptographically random UUID v4 identifiers. Use this when you need unique IDs for test fixtures, database records, session tokens, or any scenario requiring a guaranteed-unique string. Returns up to 100 UUIDs in one call.
hash_text
Compute a cryptographic hash of a text string. Use when you need to verify data integrity, generate content fingerprints, hash passwords (prefer SHA-256+), or produce a fixed-length digest of any input. Supports SHA-256 (default), SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5.
count_tokens
Estimate the token count of a text string using the cl100k_base approximation (~4 chars/token). Call this BEFORE sending any text to an LLM API to check if it fits within the model context window and to estimate cost. Returns token estimate, character count, and word count.
base64_encode
Encode a UTF-8 string to Base64. Use when you need to embed binary data, multi-line text, or special characters safely inside JSON fields, HTTP headers, or data URIs.
base64_decode
Decode a Base64 string back to UTF-8 text. Use for inspecting Base64-encoded API responses, JWT payload claims, config file values, or attachment data.
url_encode
Percent-encode a string for safe use in URLs. Call this before programmatically building query strings, path segments, or form-encoded bodies to prevent injection and malformed URLs.
url_decode
Decode a percent-encoded URL string back to plain text. Use when parsing query parameters from raw URLs or when displaying encoded values to users.
generate_slug
Convert any string into a URL-friendly slug: lowercase, ASCII-normalized (é→e), special characters removed, spaces replaced with hyphens. Use for generating SEO-friendly URL paths, file names, or identifier keys from user-provided titles or labels.

Validate a SKILL.md definition (Cursor / GitHub Copilot / Windsurf) by auto-generating trigger-positive and trigger-negative scenarios, running each through the model with the skill injected as a system prompt, and scoring trigger accuracy + step adherence. Returns a PASS/FIX/BLOCK verdict with per-
identify_caller
Returns what the server knows about the current MCP client: clientInfo captured during initialize, User-Agent, and any _meta fields sent with this request. Useful for debugging caller identification.
yaml_to_json
Parse a YAML string and return the equivalent JSON value. The reverse of json_to_yaml. Supports nested objects, arrays, anchors, aliases, multi-document streams, and all scalar types. Use when processing config files, CI/CD pipeline definitions, or OpenAPI specs authored in YAML.
env_parse
Parse a .env file content into a JSON object. Handles quoted values (single and double), inline comments, export prefix, and escaped sequences (\n, \t inside double quotes). Returns all key-value pairs. Use in CI/CD pipelines, agent config loaders, or when processing dotenv files programmatically.
json_schema_generate
Infer a JSON Schema (draft-07) from a sample JSON value. Detects types, required fields, array item shapes, nested objects, and common string formats (email, uri, date, date-time, uuid). Returns a ready-to-use schema compatible with json_schema_validate. Use when you have a sample API response or LL
format_table
Convert a JSON array of objects into a Markdown table. Automatically detects columns, aligns headers, and fills missing keys with empty cells. Use when an agent needs to present structured data — tool results, model comparisons, test reports — as a readable table in a response or document.
openapi_validate
Validate the structure of an OpenAPI 3.x specification (JSON or YAML). Checks required top-level fields (openapi, info.title, info.version, paths), validates each operation (responses, operationId uniqueness), detects undeclared $ref components, and flags missing 2xx responses. Returns a PASS/FAIL v
post_jira_comment
Post the output of jira_to_test_suite as a formatted comment on the source Jira ticket. Converts Gherkin, E2E steps, API tests, and ambiguities into Atlassian Document Format (ADF). STATEFUL — creates a comment on the issue.
create_confluence_page
Create a new Confluence page from the output of jira_to_test_suite. Formats Gherkin, E2E steps, API tests, and test data as a properly structured Confluence page with code blocks and tables. STATEFUL — creates a new page in the specified space.
fetch_jira_issue
Fetch a complete Jira issue: summary, description converted to Markdown, status, assignee, priority, labels, custom fields, and optionally comments and attachment metadata. BYOK — credentials transit in-memory only, never stored on ia-qa.com.
search_jira_issues
Search Jira using JQL (Jira Query Language). Returns matching issues with key fields. Ideal for finding open bugs, sprint tickets, or issues by label/assignee/component. BYOK — credentials transit in-memory only, never stored.
jira_to_test_suite
Transform a Jira ticket into a complete test suite: Gherkin scenarios, E2E steps, API test cases, test data matrix, and ambiguity detection. Accepts either Jira credentials (auto-fetch) or a pre-fetched issue object. The returned test_suite includes _gherkin_warnings (deterministic syntax validation
fix_gherkin
Fix Gherkin syntax warnings from a jira_to_test_suite result. Takes the current gherkin text and the _gherkin_warnings array, calls your LLM to fix ONLY the flagged issues (adds missing Given/When/Then steps, etc.), and returns the corrected Gherkin. Lightweight — uses ~300-500 tokens vs ~5k for a f
fetch_confluence_page
Fetch a Confluence page and return its content as clean Markdown. Accepts a numeric page_id or a full page URL. Optionally lists direct child pages. BYOK — credentials transit in-memory only, never stored.
rate_tool
Give honest usage feedback on an IA-QA MCP tool. Provide a score (1-5) and a comment. Rate low (1-2) if the tool was wrong, irrelevant, or a poor fit; rate high (4-5) only if it genuinely solved your need. Ratings are aggregated on a public dashboard at /devtools/mcp-ratings.

How we measure →
What this means. This server responded to the MCP handshake and listed its tools without authentication. The schema fingerprint lets us flag if tool signatures silently change (schema drift) between checks.
