Running load tests from your AI coding agent sounds futuristic until you realize it's already possible. The Gatling MCP Server connects your Gatling Enterprise account to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. You can deploy tests, query results, and manage infrastructure without leaving your IDE.
This guide covers installation, configuration for each supported client, and how to deploy your first load test using natural language commands.
What Is the Gatling MCP server
The Gatling MCP Server is a local server that runs on your machine and exposes your Gatling Enterprise Edition account to any MCP-compatible AI client. No UI required—you interact entirely through your coding agent.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, a standard donated to the Linux Foundation that allows AI coding agents to communicate with external tools and services. Think of it as a shared language between your AI assistant and the software it connects to.
