How to Use the Gatling MCP in Windsurf
Trigger Gatling load tests directly from Windsurf to catch performance bottlenecks before they hit production.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Gatling MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Gatling to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate performance testing in Windsurf
Cascade uses `start_simulation` to fire off load tests the moment you finish a PR. It handles the heavy lifting of triggering the right test suite without you leaving the editor. Once the test is live, the agent monitors progress by calling `get_run`. If things go sideways, it uses `abort_simulation` to keep your cloud costs from spiraling.
Manage your Gatling infrastructure
Stop digging through web consoles to find generator status. Cascade calls `list_pools` to verify your load generators are online before starting a run. It also maps out your test environment by using `list_packages` and `list_simulations`. This ensures your agent has the right context to run accurate performance scenarios every time.
Inspect simulation results
You need hard data to make decisions. Cascade pulls detailed metrics using `get_simulation` and `list_runs` to show you exactly how your code handles pressure. Instead of interpreting raw logs, the MCP Server feeds the stats straight into your chat session. You get immediate clarity on response times and error rates.
