## Gatling AI Extensions

The plugin is a Gatling projects helper to deploy and run tests on [Gatling Enterprise](https://gatling.io/platform).
It contains a set of skills and an MCP server.

The AI extensions are packaged as a plugin inside a Claude Marketplace but all components can be used or run manually
in any LLM client that supports skills or local MCP servers.

### Skills

- [Bootstrap a Gatling project]({{< ref "./skills#bootstrap-project" >}}): create a new Gatling project from scratch in your language and build tool of choice
- [Build Tools]({{< ref "./skills#build-tools" >}}): deploy and start Gatling tests on Gatling Enterprise using your project's build tool
- [Configuration as Code]({{< ref "./skills#configuration-as-code" >}}): generate or update the `.gatling/package.conf` package descriptor file for Gatling Enterprise deployments
- [Convert a JMeter Test Plan to Gatling]({{< ref "./skills#convert-from-jmeter" >}}): Convert `.jmx` files to Gatling
- [Convert a LoadRunner Script to Gatling]({{< ref "./skills#convert-from-loadrunner" >}}): Convert LoadRunner actions and scripts to Gatling

### MCP Server

For the Gatling MCP server details, tools reference, and setup instructions,
see the [dedicated page]({{< ref "./mcp-server" >}}).

When using either the skills or the MCP server, a valid [**API Token**]({{< ref "/reference/administration/api-tokens" >}})
is required with at least the **Configure** role provided as environment variable `GATLING_ENTERPRISE_API_TOKEN`.
