description: TestFairy is a mobile app testing and distribution platform, now part of Sauce Labs, that lets teams upload iOS
  and Android builds, distribute them to beta testers, and record video sessions of testers using the app alongside device
  logs, crash reports, and CPU/memory/network telemetry for debugging. It exposes a REST API for managing projects, builds,
  testers, tester groups, sites, webhooks, and audit trails, plus a separate Upload API for pushing APK/AAB/IPA packages and
  symbol files from CI. Native SDKs (iOS, Android) and cross-platform wrappers (React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Unity, Xamarin,
  NativeScript) instrument apps, and command-line uploaders integrate with Jenkins, fastlane, Travis, and CircleCI. Authentication
  is HTTP Basic (email + API key) or OIDC bearer tokens.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
