The SQAI Suite MCP (Model Context Protocol) server acts as a centralized intelligence layer for your development environment. It maintains a real-time, structured understanding of your code, user stories, and test management tools, allowing Kilo Code’s AI to provide highly relevant, context-aware assistance.
Added Value: A Context-Aware Bridge
By connecting the SQAI MCP to Kilo Code, you create a direct link between your editor and your broader project ecosystem:
Unified Intelligence: It connects code repositories, user stories, and documentation so the AI assistant understands the relationship between different project artifacts.
Automated Traceability: Easily perform tasks like automated test generation or impact analysis directly from your editor.
Continuous Updates: As you modify your code or update requirements, the MCP keeps the system model current, ensuring the AI assistant never works with stale information.
1. Generate Your API Key
You need an authentication key to securely connect Kilo Code to the SQAI Platform.
Log in to the SQAI Platform.
Go to the MCP Configuration page: app.sqai-suite.com/mcp.
Generate and copy your unique API Key.
2. Setup Instructions
Kilo Code supports MCP servers via a simple JSON configuration.
2.1 Access Configuration
Open Kilo Code.
Navigate to the Settings or the MCP configuration section as specified in your Kilo Code environment.
Locate the
mcpServersconfiguration block.
2.2 Configuration Snippet
Paste the following JSON snippet into your configuration. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you generated in Step 1.
JSON
{
"mcpServers": {
"sqai-suite": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.sqai-suite.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
3. How to Use
Verify the Connection: Check the Kilo Code status bar or MCP panel to ensure the
sqai-suiteserver is active.Interact: You can now ask the AI to perform tasks using your SQAI data.
Example: "Retrieve the acceptance criteria for the current task via SQAI and generate a matching test suite."
Tool Discovery: Kilo Code will automatically discover the available SQAI tools (like
get-work-itemorget-test-case) and suggest them when relevant to your prompt.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Potential Cause | Solution |
Server not appearing | Incorrect | Ensure the type is set exactly to |
Authentication Error | Invalid token. | Verify the header format is |
Connection failed | Network/Proxy. | Ensure Kilo Code has outbound access to |
AI ignores tools | Model limitations. | Ensure you are using an AI model within Kilo Code that supports tool calling and MCP integrations. |
