…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate load test execution in Cursor
Fire off a new load test directly from your editor using `start_test_run` to validate your recent code changes. You don't have to leave your IDE to see how your new logic handles high traffic. Once the test finishes, check the output with `get_run` to see if the execution was successful. It keeps your feedback loop tight while you are focused on writing logic.
Verify performance thresholds in your editor
Use `get_run_thresholds` to see if your latest code changes violated any performance SLAs. The AI reads the results and suggests optimizations if your metrics are out of bounds. Compare your current run against past performance using `list_runs` to ensure you aren't introducing regressions. It turns performance testing into a standard part of your coding session.
Analyze metric data directly in Cursor
Fetch specific performance counters like `iterations` or `http_req_failed` using `get_run_metrics` to debug latency issues. The data arrives in your context window for immediate analysis. Map these metrics to your project structure by using `list_projects` to find the right test files. You get a clear link between your code and its performance profile.
