About CPU Performance Engineering

An MCP server that gives any AI client the whole CPU Performance Engineering list as something it can search and reason over, instead of a page it has to be pasted. Connect it to Claude Code, Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code and use it for your own performance work: ask questions, paste perf stat or compiler output, and the client's own model writes the answer from what the server returns, with citations back to the sources.
