How to Use the Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf automatically analyze failure metrics from a Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) run?

Yes. Windsurf uses getrunmetrics to grab raw performance data like latency and error rates. Cascade then inspects your local files to find the root cause of the slow response times.

Q: How does the Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP integration handle failed performance budgets?

The server fetches threshold results using getrunthresholds. If any budget fails, Windsurf flags the specific endpoint and suggests optimizations for your code.

Q: What is the easiest way to find test IDs in my workspace?

Use listtests and listprojects to query your cloud account. The agent maps your local test scripts to their respective cloud IDs automatically.

Run load tests and verify performance budgets autonomously within Windsurf using this dedicated MCP Server.

Automated Run Execution in Windsurf

Triggering a new performance test run starts with `start_test_run` directly from your IDE workspace. Cascade takes your test configuration, kicks off the run on Grafana Cloud, and tracks the execution state without waiting for manual prompts. If a run goes off the rails, Windsurf can halt it immediately using `stop_test_run`. This keeps your testing bills under control and prevents wasted execution cycles on broken builds.

Active Threshold Auditing

Checking if your code meets SLA requirements relies on `get_run_thresholds` to pull real-time pass or fail status. Your agent reads these metrics to determine if a pull request violates your performance budget. Instead of jumping to the browser, you get the exact failure points right in your chat panel. The MCP Server feeds these raw evaluation results directly to Windsurf so you can fix slow endpoints immediately.

Live Run Metrics Inspection

Analyzing system behavior under load uses `get_run_metrics` to extract latency profiles and error rates from active or completed tests. The agent chains this tool with workspace searches to pinpoint the exact database queries causing bottlenecks. You get immediate visibility into virtual users and data transfer rates. This means your agent can correlate a spike in HTTP failure rates with recent code changes without leaving the editor.

Setup guide

Set up Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
