Description

Description

Integrate with .NET diagnostic tools for performance profiling and analysis.

Motivation

Performance optimization requires tooling:

  • Startup time analysis
  • Memory allocation tracking
  • CPU profiling
  • GC pressure analysis

Proposed Tools

New MCP Tools
  • dotnet_profile_startup

    • Measure application startup time
    • Identify slow initialization
  • dotnet_trace_analyze

    • Parse dotnet-trace files
    • Extract performance insights
  • dotnet_memory_analyze

  • Memory allocation analysis

    • Heap snapshots
    • GC behavior
  • dotnet_counters_monitor

    • Real-time performance counters
  • CPU, memory, GC metrics

Implementation Notes

  • Wrap dotnet-trace, dotnet-counters, dotnet-dump
  • Parse trace files
  • Provide actionable insights
  • Integration with BenchmarkDotNet

Success Criteria

  • Basic profiling tools
  • Trace file parsing
  • Performance insights
  • Integration with diagnostic tools
  • Tests
  • Documentation

Related

  • Part of: Phase 3 roadmap
  • Experimental feature

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed MCP tools and the .NET commands they wrap: dotnet-trace, dotnet-counters, and dotnet-dump. Done means basic profiling, trace parsing, performance insights, diagnostic-tool integration, tests, and documentation are provided.
