@perfscale/mcp is a Model Context Protocol
server that exposes the perfscale CLI to AI agents (Claude Code, Claude
Desktop, and any other MCP client). The agent can author test YAML with
schema-validated writes, run load tests, and read back structured metrics —
without shell access.
Source: Perfscale/mcp. For the hosted
platform (machines, runs, dashboards on perfscale.su/.ru) see the
@perfscale/controlplane-mcp server in the same repository.
Requires the perfscale binary on PATH (override with PERFSCALE_BIN) and
Node.js 20+.

claude mcp add perfscale -- npx -y @perfscale/mcp| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
run_test |
Run a k6/locust/native test (perfscale run), return exit code + parsed summary export |
lint |
Validate YAML files (perfscale lint), including typo and action-ID checks |
get_schema |
JSON Schema for test or config YAML (perfscale schema) |
parse_summary |
Parse raw k6-compatible output into structured metrics |
list_actions |
Catalog of native std/* step actions |
list_configs |
Recursively list YAML files in a directory, classified test/config |
read_config |
Read one YAML file with its detected kind |
write_test |
Create/overwrite a test definition, then lint it against the test schema |
write_config |
Create/overwrite a run config, then lint it against the config schema |
update_config |
Overwrite an existing file only (fails when absent), then lint |
remove_config |
Delete a test/config YAML file |
Every write is linted immediately — the agent sees schema violations in the same tool result, so invalid YAML never silently lands on disk.
