Menso — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server driving automated agents on live websites. It runs sign-up or checkout tasks and flags steps where users get stuck.
claude mcp add --transport http menso https://api.menso.io/mcpWhat Menso does
Menso operates as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.menso.io/mcp. No local binaries or heavy browser setups are required. Your editor connects directly to Menso cloud infrastructure, where autonomous visitors navigate target pages to simulate visitor behavior. Supported workflows include purchase to inspect pricing pages and signup to verify complete account registration.
The integration exposes tools like run_test, get_status, and get_findings. When a run completes, Menso reports a TRACES score from 0 to 100, outlines friction points, and generates step replay links on supported tiers. Content fetched from external sites is marked as untrusted, meaning agents must treat extracted site text cautiously.
Without a valid API token and available account credits, tests will fail to start.
What it helps with
- test sign-up flows against staging environments using AI agents
- evaluate pricing clarity and purchase paths without manual testing
- collect TRACES quality scores alongside step-by-step session recordings
- identify UX friction points before shipping changes to production
Example prompts for the agent
- Execute a signup test on
https://staging.example.comand report where the tester got blocked. - Start a purchase workflow test on
https://staging.example.comusing the speed tier. - Check current progress and metrics for test identifier
