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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Gatling tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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

Gatling + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Gatling MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
