What is Jprofiler?
JProfiler is a Java performance profiler that integrates with AI coding assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides MCP tools for CPU hotspots with back traces, memory allocation analysis, JDBC query profiling, HTTP call tracing, and thread state inspection, and supports heap dump analysis across HPROF, JFR, and .jps snapshot formats.
How to use Jprofiler?
Install the @ej-technologies/jprofiler-mcp npm package and configure an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to point to the server script. The MCP server drives JProfiler's command-line tooling, allowing AI assistants to attach to running JVMs or prepare fresh profiling sessions, then guide the user from "profile this" to "here's the hotspot and the back trace."
Key features of Jprofiler
- CPU hotspot analysis with full back traces
- Memory allocation inspection and profiling
- JDBC query performance tracing
- HTTP call timing and tracing
- Thread state monitoring and inspection
- Supports HPROF, JFR, and
.jps snapshot formats
- Cross-platform: macOS, Windows, Linux
Use cases of Jprofiler
- Identify CPU hotspots and their calling contexts in a running Java application
- Diagnose memory allocation problems and track down leaks
- Profile slow JDBC queries and HTTP endpoint performance
- Inspect thread states to debug contention or deadlocks
- Let an AI coding assistant drive the profiling workflow from start to resolution
