How to Use the Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Run and monitor load tests live in your Next.js frontend with Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Kick off k6 test runs directly from your Vercel AI SDK UI
`start_test_run` initiates a load test directly from your user interface. Your AI client calls this tool to kick off active simulation runs on the k6 Cloud infrastructure, returning a unique run ID immediately. You don't have to wait around for a full page reload. When you need to stop a runaway test that is spiking costs, your agent invokes `stop_test_run` to terminate the execution on the spot.
Stream raw execution metrics into your frontend components
`get_run_metrics` pulls live performance data like virtual users, HTTP request failures, and data received. The Vercel AI SDK streams these metrics straight into your React or Next.js components, so users watch the load test execute in real time. To check if your latest deployment broke performance SLAs, your agent uses `get_run_thresholds`. This tool inspects the pass or fail status of your pre-defined k6 thresholds instantly.
Browse k6 projects and tests using this MCP Server
`list_projects` pulls your active project list from a specific k6 Cloud organization. Your agent uses this tool to locate the correct environment before running any load tests. Once the project is selected, the agent calls `list_tests` and `list_runs` to display historical performance trends and script details. This MCP Server setup handles the backend connections so you can focus on writing clean Next.js code.

import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);
const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai("gpt-4o"),
tools,
prompt: "List recent Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) transactions",
});
console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close(); Independent Platform Disclaimer: Vinkius is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, verified by, or otherwise authorized by Grafana k6 Cloud.
