How to Use the Gatling MCP in CrewAI
Deploy a crew of autonomous agents to run, monitor, and scale your Gatling load tests in CrewAI.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Gatling MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Gatling to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Deploy a Gatling MCP Server crew in CrewAI
The `start_simulation` tool allows your lead QA agent to kick off performance tests based on the latest code commit. While that agent starts the test, a specialized monitor agent uses `get_run` to track live statistics. If metrics exceed acceptable limits, a moderator agent immediately calls `abort_simulation`. This collaborative setup prevents runaway resource usage without requiring manual developer intervention.
Analyze historical runs autonomously
The `list_runs` tool gives your analysis agent access to past execution history to detect long-term performance drift. The agent compares previous run metrics against the current `get_run` output to find regressions. Your CrewAI agents use this data to write markdown summaries. This MCP Server makes it easy for the agents to pull raw JSON metrics and translate them into actionable engineering tasks.
Coordinate pools and packages
The `list_pools` tool provides current generator capacity to your resource allocation agent. This agent coordinates with the deployment agent, which verifies compiled code using `list_packages`. By checking `list_teams` first, the crew ensures that simulations are run under the correct billing department. The entire process runs autonomously, handling setup, execution, and cleanup.
Set up Gatling MCP in CrewAI
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
crewaipackage (pip install crewai) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install CrewAI
Run
pip install crewaito install the framework. MCP support is built-in via themcpsparameter. - 2
Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the
mcpslist. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically. - 3
Kick off your crew
Create a
Crewwith your agent and tasks. Callcrew.kickoff()— the agent will automatically invoke Gatling tools as needed.
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
agent = Agent(
role="Gatling Analyst",
goal="Access and analyze Gatling data via MCP.",
backstory="Expert analyst with direct Gatling access.",
mcps=[

],
)
task = Task(
description="List recent Gatling transactions",
agent=agent,
expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)
crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
