Gatling AI Extensions

The plugin is a Gatling projects helper to deploy and run tests on Gatling Enterprise. 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

Skill: gatling-bootstrap-project

Create a new Gatling project from scratch by either the prompt or by using the following command inside Claude Code:

/Gatling:gatling-bootstrap-project java maven

Build tools

Skill: gatling-build-tools

Deploy and start Gatling tests on Gatling Enterprise using your project’s build tool (Maven, Gradle, sbt, or the JavaScript CLI). Detects the build tool, verifies prerequisites, runs the deploy command, and optionally starts a test run.

Configuration as Code

Skill: gatling-configuration-as-code

Generate or update the .gatling/package.conf package descriptor file for Gatling Enterprise deployments. Collects simulation class names, queries your account for teams, packages, tests, and locations, then writes or updates the configuration file following Configuration as Code rules.

Convert a JMeter Test Plan to Gatling

Skill: gatling-convert-from-jmeter

For example, inside an empty directory with only an Apache JMeter™ Test Plan you want to convert to Gatling, you can run the following command inside Claude Code or the equivalent in your favorite tool:

Usage:

/Gatling:gatling-convert-from-jmeter Test Plan.jmx

You can also use natural language and ask your LLM to convert a Test Plan if you prefer.

MCP Server

For the Gatling MCP server details, tools reference, and setup instructions, see the dedicated page.

When using either the skills or the MCP server, a valid API Token is required with at least the Configure role provided as environment variable GATLING_ENTERPRISE_API_TOKEN.
