MCP support
The hosted remote MCP server uses streamable HTTP and exposes tools for trial management, onboarding and documentation, and feedback. It requires no API key, and requests are rate limited.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMETraffic Parrot MCP server
A public MCP server run by Traffic Parrot, so that your AI coding agent can request a Traffic Parrot trial, read the product documentation and send us feedback. Traffic Parrot is a service virtualization tool: it simulates the APIs and messaging systems your software depends on, for testing.
The server is hosted by Traffic Parrot at https://mcp.trafficparrot.com/ (remote MCP over streamable HTTP; registry name com.trafficparrot/public). This repository holds only its listing metadata, no server code. Issues and feature requests are welcome through the submit_feature_request tool or [email protected].
Also listed on Glama and Smithery.
Add it to your agent
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http trafficparrot https://mcp.trafficparrot.com/
Cursor
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"trafficparrot": {
"url": "https://mcp.trafficparrot.com/"
}
}
}
Any other client
Any client that supports remote MCP over streamable HTTP can use it: add a server with the URL https://mcp.trafficparrot.com/. The shapes for Cline and VS Code are in llms-install.md.
No API key
There is nothing to sign up for and no key to configure. Requests are rate limited.
The tools
request_trial: asks Traffic Parrot for a trial on your behalf. You give your business email; the trial link is sent to that inbox, never to the agent.get_trial_status: checks the state of a trial request: waiting for approval, being prepared, ready, or unavailable. The reply is the state only; the trial link still goes to your inbox, never to the agent.delete_trial_request: withdraws a trial request and erases the details sent with it.get_trial_onboarding: explains how to get Traffic Parrot running from the trial download. It covers the ports it uses, starting and stopping it on each operating system, where the licence goes, and a first mock for each protocol.get_documentation: the Traffic Parrot documentation index, in a form written for agents.submit_feature_request: sends a feature request or feedback to the Traffic Parrot team.
A person at Traffic Parrot approves each trial request during UK working hours, so a trial is not instant. How the trial route works: https://trafficparrot.com/ai/agent-trial.html
Which server this is
This is the public server run by Traffic Parrot, the company, for finding out about and trying the product. It is not the MCP server built into a Traffic Parrot installation, which runs alongside your own licensed instance.
Privacy
request_trial sends a real person's business email, and any name, company or phone number given with it, to Traffic Parrot. Read the privacy notice before your agent calls it.
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
