The Azure MCP Server lets you manage Azure resources, including Azure Load Testing services, using natural language prompts. This feature helps you quickly create and manage load tests without needing to remember complex syntax.
Azure Load Testing is a fully managed load testing service that helps you generate high-scale load to identify application performance bottlenecks. With Azure Load Testing, you can stress test your applications and validate performance, scalability, and capacity.
Note
The Azure MCP Server tools define parameters for data they need to complete tasks. Some of these parameters are specific to each tool and are documented below. Other parameters are global and shared by all tools. For more information, see Tool parameters.
