💻 MCP 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. MCP compatible client will use the available tools:
   • 🖥️ execute_jmeter_test: Launches JMeter in GUI mode, but doesn't execute test as per the JMeter design
   • 🚀 execute_jmeter_test_non_gui: Execute a JMeter test in non-GUI mode (default mode for better performance)

🏗️ MCP Configuration

Add the following configuration to your MCP client config:

{
    "mcpServers": {
      "jmeter": {
        "command": "/path/to/uv",
        "args": [
          "--directory",
          "/path/to/jmeter-mcp-server",
          "run",
          "jmeter_server.py"
        ]
      }
    }
}

🛑 Error Handling

The server will:

• Validate that the test file exists
• Check that the file has a .jmx extension
• Capture and return any execution errors
