## What it 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.

## When to use it
- 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
- Execute a signup test on `https://staging.example.com` and report where the tester got blocked.
- Start a purchase workflow test on `https://staging.example.com` using the speed tier.
- Check current progress and metrics for test identifier `test_123`.
