# Perfetto MCP

> Turn natural language into powerful Perfetto trace analysis

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that transforms natural-language prompts into focused Perfetto analyses. Quickly explain jank, diagnose ANRs, spot CPU hot threads, uncover lock contention, and find memory leaks – all without writing SQL.

## ✨ Features

- **Natural Language → SQL**: Ask questions in plain English, get precise Perfetto queries
- **ANR Detection**: Automatically identify and analyze Application Not Responding events
- **Performance Analysis**: CPU profiling, frame jank detection, memory leak detection
- **Thread Contention**: Find synchronization bottlenecks and lock contention
- **Binder Profiling**: Analyze IPC performance and slow system interactions
