Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Grafana k6 Cloud to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Grafana k6 Cloud works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Grafana k6 Cloud to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Grafana k6 Cloud, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Grafana k6 Cloud. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Grafana k6 Cloud owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineering teams who need to bridge the gap between performance data and their daily development workflow.

  • 01

    Performance Engineers

    They trigger tests and analyze metrics through conversation instead of dashboards.

  • 02

    DevOps and SREs

    They monitor application thresholds and check for regressions after deployments.

  • 03

    QA Automation Engineers

    They audit test histories and report on system reliability across environments.

FAQ

Questions Grafana k6 Cloud owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my k6 Cloud account?

    You just need to subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your k6 Cloud API Token. Once connected, your AI client will have direct access to your account.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I stop a test that is currently running?

    Yes. You can tell your agent to stop a specific test run, and it will use the stop_test_run capability to abort the execution immediately.

  • 04

    Does this MCP handle multiple organizations?

    Yes. You can use the list_organizations and list_projects capabilities to navigate through different testing environments and organizations.

  • 05

    What kind of performance data can my agent retrieve?

    Your agent can pull detailed metrics including latency, error rates, throughput, iterations, and Virtual User (VU) counts.

  • 06

    Can I see if a load test passed its performance thresholds using my agent?

    Yes. Use the get_run_thresholds capability with a specific Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the final evaluation for all defined thresholds in the script, indicating which specific SLOs passed or failed.

  • 07

    How do I start a new k6 Cloud test run through a conversation?

    Use the start_test_run capability by providing the Test ID. Your agent will trigger the execution on k6 Cloud infrastructure and return an active Run ID that you can use to track real-time progress.

  • 08

    Can my agent retrieve the raw performance metrics for a completed run?

    Absolutely. The get_run_metrics capability allows your agent to aggregate data like http_req_duration, error counts, and total iterations, providing a rapid summary of your application's behavior under load.
