Cycle 2.27.0

Released 2026-05-15.

New features​

Cycle MCP: Agent-Assisted Cycle Server (Experimental)​

Cycle 2.27 introduces an experimental Cycle MCP server, enabling AI coding agents to author, run, and debug Cycle tests through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The MCP server connects your AI agent directly to the Cycle engine, allowing it to work with your CycleScript feature files without manual copy-paste workflows.

With this release, the following capabilities are available through the MCP server:

  • Write and edit CycleScript feature files from natural language descriptions
  • Validate feature files against the Cycle engine to catch errors before running
  • Execute tests and retrieve run results in real time
  • Retrieve and analyze failure details to assist with debugging
  • Explore application pages and assist with locator authoring using the agent's live browser tools

The Cycle MCP server has been validated against Claude Code for this initial experimental release. Setup instructions for Cursor and Copilot in VS Code are included in the User Manual but were not exercised in this release's validation window. Please keep this in mind if you choose to integrate with those tools at this time.

Because this feature is experimental, its behavior, configuration, and availability may change in future releases. Refer to the Cycle User Manual for setup and configuration instructions.

Bug fixes​

Report Dashboard​

  • Fixed an issue where Cycle execution summary emails could misfire. Emails now send only when the configured conditions are met.
  • Fixed recursive behavior when navigating into nested scenario results.
  • Fixed an issue where drilling into a scenario result displayed an empty detail view instead of the expected step content.

Cycle Desktop License Agreement Text​

  • Fixed an issue where the MSA text in the Cycle Desktop application rendered as garbled characters because of a character encoding problem. The agreement text now displays correctly.
