Quick start
Call this tool from your code in three languages.
cURL
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/regex-benchmark' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"regexList":".*\n[a-z]+\n\\d+","testInput":"hello world\n12345\nabc","regexFlags":"Flags to apply to all patterns (e.g., gi, m, i)","iterations":1000,"warmupRuns":100,"targetDialect":"javascript","includeDegenerate":true}'API reference
Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.

MCP integration
Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.
Server configuration
Add this block to your MCP client configuration:
mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"elysiatools-regex-benchmark": {
"name": "regex-benchmark",
"description": "Compare performance of different regex patterns, identify bottlenecks, and detect degenerate cases",
"baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=regex-benchmark",
"command": "",
"args": [],
"env": {},
"isActive": true,
"type": "sse"
}
}
}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "regex-benchmark",
"arguments": {
"regexList": ".*\n[a-z]+\n\\d+",
"testInput": "hello world\n12345\nabc",
"regexFlags": "Flags to apply to all patterns (e.g., gi, m, i)",
"iterations": 1000,
"warmupRuns": 100,
"targetDialect": "javascript",
"includeDegenerate": true
}
}
}Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
