  • Simulates realistic agent tool-chaining (list pipelines, get chunks, fetch document) under configurable concurrency. Supports both dynamic pipeline discovery and fixed-pipeline stress testing via MCP_PIPELINE_NAME.

  • Includes OAuth token helper, shared report builder, fixtures template, and usage documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added MCP server load testing with configurable ramping, thresholds, fixtures, and authentication.

    • Added automated session, pipeline, query, and document-retrieval test flows.
    • Added colored console, HTML, and JSON test reports.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup instructions, prerequisites, configuration details, commands, and report locations.
  • Chores

    • Added sample load-test fixtures and excluded generated reports from version control.

Walkthrough

The PR adds an MCP OAuth helper, a configurable k6 load test, fixture data, report generation, report-directory rules, and usage documentation.

Changes

MCP load testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
OAuth token acquisition
scripts/load/get-token.sh
The helper validates the MCP server, completes OAuth authorization with PKCE, exchanges the authorization code for tokens, and prints k6 environment commands.
MCP load-test execution
scripts/load/mcp-load-test.js, scripts/load/lib/handle-summary.js
The k6 script validates configuration, runs MCP session and tool calls, retrieves chunks and optional documents, records metrics, cleans up sessions, and writes reports.
Fixtures and usage documentation
scripts/load/fixtures.json, scripts/load/README.md, .gitignore
The PR adds fixture data, documents setup and execution, and ignores generated reports while retaining the reports directory placeholder.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91ad5

The new load test can report successful chains after failed document retrievals and can run with placeholder query data, which may produce misleading performance and health results; its remote test dependencies are also not immutably pinned. Merge readiness is moderate until the metric and fixture issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

/healthz response status is not 200, while retaining the existing check()
recording. Ensure the abort occurs before VUs start and keep the TOKEN
validation unchanged.

Replace the fixture placeholders before running the load test. The loader reads both fields, but it uses pipeline_name only for matching and falls back to a random accessible pipeline when the placeholder does not match. It sends text literally, so the current default run queries "your search query here" instead of a representative workload.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Record completed chains only after successful tool calls.

Line 244 marks an HTTP error with an empty or non-JSON body as ok. Lines 346-350 ignore the document call result. A failed get_processed_document call can increase mcp_chain_completed while mcp_tool_errors reports an error.

Require status 200 and a JSON-RPC result in ok. Increment chainCompleted only when the selected document call succeeds.
