Test results dashboard and analytics for Cypress and Playwright CI runs

currents.dev ↗

Currents now lets agents walk a Playwright trace instead of downloading it.

◆Current state
Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. In six weeks it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments, and now a trace API built for agents. The trace API lets an agent read a Playwright trace one part at a time, choosing each next call from what it just read.
◆Where it's heading
The sequence goes deeper each time: from a failure summary an agent can fetch, to a secure way in, to the logs around a run, to the trace itself. Currents is positioning as the place a coding agent goes to debug a CI failure, with humans as a second audience.
◆Prediction
The likely next step is wiring the trace API and attachments into the MCP server so one agent session can reach all of it. The entries don't yet confirm that the trace API is exposed through MCP.

    [New] Trace API for agents

    ⚡ SPARK

    The trace API is the deepest layer of the agent-access arc so far: after failure links, OAuth MCP and run attachments, agents can now navigate the full Playwright trace. It turns Currents' richest debugging artifact into something an agent can query.

    [New] Run attachments

    Runs can now carry server logs, build output and merged reports, all collected on a new Attachments tab. That widens the failure context Currents holds, which is the raw material its MCP server and agent-readable failure links depend on.

    [New] Remote MCP Server with OAuth

    A hosted MCP endpoint with browser OAuth replaces pasting an API key and installing a package. It lands six days after personal access tokens and continues the run of releases that shorten the path from a coding agent to Currents failure data.

    [New] Personal Access Tokens

    Personal Access Tokens replace the shared org-wide API key with per-user tokens that carry scoped permissions and enforced expiry — a security model upgrade that makes API access auditable and least-privilege by default.

    [New] Shareable AI context for test failures

    ⚡ SPARK

    Currents can now generate a shareable link for any Playwright failure — a human-readable page, or append `.md` for a structured Markdown document that AI agents can fetch with no authentication. This is the first explicit machine-readable API surface Currents has built for agent consumption.

    [Improved] Better Slack notifications for CI test runs

    Slack notifications gain clearer CI run summaries, recovery alerts when previously failing tests pass again, AI-assisted fix suggestions, and automated report delivery — making the Slack channel a more actionable CI status surface.
