📦 Installation

Local Installation

1. Install uv.

2. Ensure that JMeter is installed on your system and can be accessed via the command line.

⚠️ Important Note

Make sure JMeter is executable. You can verify this by running the following command:

chmod +x /path/to/jmeter/bin/jmeter

3. Configure the .env file. Refer to the .env.example file for detailed information.

# JMeter configuration
JMETER_HOME=/path/to/apache-jmeter-5.6.3
JMETER_BIN=${JMETER_HOME}/bin/jmeter

# Optional: JMeter Java options
JMETER_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1g -Xmx2g"

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

1. Connect to the server using an MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf).

2. Send a prompt to the server:

Run JMeter test /path/to/test.jmx

3. The MCP-compatible client will use the following tools:
   • 🖥️ execute_jmeter_test: Launch JMeter in GUI mode, but the test will not be executed (this is by JMeter's design).
   • 🚀 execute_jmeter_test_non_gui: Execute JMeter tests in non-GUI mode (the default mode for better performance).
