Can my agent start a Gatling simulation run via chat?

Yes. Use the 'start_simulation' tool with the specific Simulation ID. The agent will command the Gatling Enterprise infrastructure to begin the load test and return a unique run ID for tracking.

How do I check the request statistics for a completed test run via chat?

Use the 'get_run' tool. Provide the Run ID. Your agent will fetch the full details of the execution, including request stats, error counts, and the virtual user peak reached during the test.

Can I see my credit quotas and team member counts through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_teams' tool. Your agent will enumerate the teams registered in your Gatling Enterprise account and monitor their member counts and available credit quotas natively.

About Gatling MCP Server

Connect your Gatling Enterprise account to any AI agent and take full control of your performance testing and high-scale load simulation through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Gatling into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Gatling and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Simulation Orchestration — List all Gatling simulations defining load scenarios and retrieve IDs, class names, and team associations natively
Live Test Execution — Trigger new performance test runs on Gatling Enterprise infrastructure and retrieve unique run IDs flawlessly
Test Run Monitoring — Track execution progress, statuses, and peak virtual user (VU) counts for ongoing or completed simulations synchronously
Detailed Stats Retrieval — Access full run details including request statistics, error counts, and injection start/end times limitlessly
Team & Quota Oversight — Enumerate teams registered in Gatling Enterprise and monitor member counts and credit quotas securely
Artifact Management — List uploaded test packages and artifacts to verify versions and upload timestamps across your environment
Resource Pool Auditing — Retrieve the list of load generator pools, identifying regions and instance counts to verify scaling capacity
Autonomous Aborting — Stop all load generators for a running simulation immediately to manage system resources and prevent overruns

The Gatling MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the Gatling MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Gatling through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Gatling + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Gatling MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Gatling + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Gatling MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
