GoLand 2026.3 lets AI agents invoke the profiler
Understand this story
In GoLand 2026.3, JetBrains lets AI agents directly invoke the built-in profiler: after the user describes the symptoms, the agent launches the application itself, collects a profile and locates the hot code. The feature is implemented through the bundled goland-profiler skill and a set of MCP tools, and JetBrains says it supports Claude Code, Codex and Junie. To use it, you need to upgrade to GoLand 2026.3 and open a project, and enable goland-profiler in Settings | AI | Skills. JetBrains says other agents that can connect to the GoLand MCP server may also work, but this has not been verified.

GoLand 2026.3 lets AI agents use its built-in profiler through a bundled goland-profiler skill and MCP tools, so an agent can launch the app with the profiler, pick and capture suitable profiles, read the results, and point to the responsible code. The workflow is tested with Claude Code, Codex, and Junie, and captured profiles appear in the profiler session and Recent profiles in the Go Optimization tool window. Limitations include that the profiler cannot attach to an already running process and short-lived programs leave too little time to capture useful data.
