Autonomous AI Intelligence for Apache JMeter

Transform your performance engineering workflow. Generate JMX scripts from plain natural language, run context-aware diagnostic models, and navigate with a keyboard-first command palette.
Runs inside Apache JMeter 5.6.3+ — get JMeter first if you don't have it.
The JMeter.AI Suite
12 open-source plugins, tools, learning resources, and documentation hubs for Apache JMeter, built for performance engineers. Select a product to explore its full capabilities and installation guide.
How Feather Wand Works
Feather Wand is a full AI agent inside Apache JMeter. Chat with 8 LLM providers, run embedded AI CLI terminals, or enable Agent Mode: the AI reads your test plan, adds and configures elements, auto-correlates dynamic values, and runs the test, verifying every change as it goes.

Three ways to install the JMeter.AI suite. Pick the workflow that fits your environment.
Requires Apache JMeter 5.6.3+ — download JMeter if you don't have it yet.
The recommended way: install straight from the JMeter Plugins Manager UI.
# JMeter → Options → Plugins Manager → Available Plugins
# Search "Feather Wand" → Apply Changes and Restart JMeter
# Copy the sample config into JMeter's user.properties cp jmeter-ai-sample.properties $JMETER_HOME/bin/user.properties # Add your LLM API key (or point at a local Ollama) anthropic.api.key=sk-ant-... # Restart JMeter and pick a model from the dropdown
Install via the JMeter Plugins Manager command line (headless & CI friendly).
bin/PluginsManagerCMD.sh install feather-wand-jmeter-ai-agent
bin\PluginsManagerCMD.bat install feather-wand-jmeter-ai-agent
# Copy the sample config into JMeter's user.properties cp jmeter-ai-sample.properties $JMETER_HOME/bin/user.properties # Add your LLM API key (or point at a local Ollama) anthropic.api.key=sk-ant-... # Restart JMeter and pick a model from the dropdown
