About Mockd

Mockd is a multi-protocol API mock server that provides HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket, MQTT, SSE and SOAP mocks from a single binary. It is aimed at developers and testers who need to build or test APIs locally. The project includes a local MCP server so AI agents can create and manage mocks.

Key features

  1. 01Single binary supporting seven protocols
  2. 02Imports from OpenAPI, Postman, HAR, WSDL and cURL
  3. 03Chaos profiles for latency, errors and circuit breakers
  4. 04Stateful CRUD endpoints with isolated workspaces
  5. 05Built-in web dashboard and proxy recording

Use cases

  1. 01Developing frontend code before backend APIs are ready
  2. 02Mocking third-party APIs such as Stripe for integration tests
  3. 03Letting AI agents generate and verify mock endpoints

MCP support

The project includes a built-in MCP server with 18 tools that AI agents can use to create mocks, manage state, import specs and verify contracts.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"mockd": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd"
]
}
}
}
Run commanddocker run -i --rm ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Tools

No tool list yet

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

mockd demo


Quick Start

# Install
curl -sSL https://get.mockd.io | sh

# Start + create a stateful CRUD API in one command
mockd start
mockd add http --path /api/users --stateful users

# It works immediately
curl -X POST localhost:4280/api/users -d '{"name":"Alice","email":"[email protected]"}'
# → {"id":"a1b2c3","name":"Alice","email":"[email protected]"}

curl localhost:4280/api/users
# → {"data":[{"id":"a1b2c3","name":"Alice","email":"[email protected]"}],"meta":{"total":1}}
More install options
brew install getmockd/tap/mockd                                          # Homebrew
docker run -p 4280:4280 -p 4290:4290 ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd:latest      # Docker
go install github.com/getmockd/mockd/cmd/mockd@latest                    # Go

Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows on the Releases page.

Why mockd?

Every other mock tool makes you choose: pick one protocol, install a runtime, bolt on extensions. mockd doesn't.

Legend: ✅ built-in • 🔌 Ext = separate OSS extension • ⚠️ Cloud = only in paid / hosted tier • Partial = limited implementation • roadmap = on the project's stated roadmap, not yet shipped

Note on WireMock imports. The ⚠️ Cloud marks on OpenAPI and Postman import reflect first-party WireMock features. Community converters exist (e.g. openapi-to-wiremock, OpenAPI Generator targets) but are not bundled with the OSS standalone JAR.

Digital Twins

Import a real API spec, bind it to stateful tables, and get a mock that passes the real SDK:

# mockd.yaml — Stripe digital twin
version: "1.0"
imports:
  - path: stripe-openapi.yaml
    as: stripe
tables:
  - name: customers
    idStrategy: prefix
    idPrefix: "cus_"
    seedData:
      - { id: "cus_1", name: "Acme Corp", email: "[email protected]" }
extend:
  - { mock: stripe.GetCustomers, table: customers, action: list }
  - { mock: stripe.PostCustomers, table: customers, action: create }
  - { mock: stripe.GetCustomersCustomer, table: customers, action: get }
  - { mock: stripe.PostCustomersCustomer, table: customers, action: update }
  - { mock: stripe.DeleteCustomersCustomer, table: customers, action: delete }
mockd start -c mockd.yaml --no-auth
curl -X POST localhost:4280/v1/customers -d "name=Test&[email protected]"
# → {"id":"cus_a1b2c3","object":"customer","name":"Test","email":"[email protected]"}

Validated with real SDKs:

  • Stripe: 49/49 stripe-go SDK tests pass
  • Twilio: 13/13 twilio-go SDK tests pass
  • OpenAI: openai Python SDK verified (models, assistants, chat completions)

See mockd-samples for complete digital twin configs.

AI-Native (MCP)

mockd includes a built-in Model Context Protocol server with 18 tools. AI agents can create mocks, manage state, import specs, and verify contracts without touching the CLI:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mockd": { "command": "mockd", "args": ["mcp"] }
  }
}

Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible editor. Tools cover mock CRUD, stateful resources, chaos injection, request logs, verification, workspaces, and import/export.

Features

Multi-Protocol Mocking — 7 protocols, unified CLI
ProtocolPortExample
HTTP/HTTPS4280mockd add http --path /api/hello --body '{"msg":"hi"}'
gRPC50051mockd add grpc --proto svc.proto --service Greeter --rpc-method Greet
GraphQL4280mockd add graphql --path /graphql --operation hello
WebSocket4280mockd add websocket --path /ws --echo
MQTT1883mockd add mqtt --topic sensors/temp --payload '{"temp":72}'
SSE4280mockd add http --path /events --sse --sse-event 'data: hello'
SOAP4280mockd add soap --path /soap --operation GetWeather --response '<OK/>'
Import & Export — OpenAPI, Postman, HAR, WireMock, cURL, WSDL
mockd import openapi.yaml           # OpenAPI 3.x / Swagger 2.0
mockd import collection.json        # Postman collections
mockd import recording.har          # HAR files
mockd import wiremock-mapping.json  # WireMock stubs
mockd import service.wsdl           # WSDL → SOAP mocks
mockd import "curl -X GET https://api.example.com/users"  # cURL commands
mockd export --format yaml > mocks.yaml
Chaos Engineering — latency, errors, circuit breakers
mockd chaos apply flaky       # 30% error rate
mockd chaos apply slow-api    # 200-800ms latency
mockd chaos apply offline     # 100% 503 errors
mockd chaos disable
Cloud Tunnel — share local mocks instantly
mockd tunnel
# → https://a1b2c3d4.tunnel.mockd.io → http://localhost:4280

All 7 protocols multiplexed through a single secure connection on port 443. Works behind NAT and firewalls.

Workspaces — isolated mock environments
mockd workspace create -n "Payment API" --use
mockd import stripe-openapi.yaml
mockd workspace create -n "Comms API" --use
mockd import twilio-openapi.yaml
# Mocks, state, and logs are fully isolated per workspace
Proxy Recording — record real traffic, replay as mocks
mockd proxy start --port 8888
# Configure your app to use http://localhost:8888 as proxy
# Traffic is recorded, then replay with:
mockd import recordings/session.json
Web Dashboard — manage mocks visually

Release builds serve a web UI from the admin port (http://localhost:4290). VS Code-style editor, command palette, mock tree with folders, request log viewer, and near-miss debugging.

Mockd Cloud

mockd works fully offline with no account required. For teams that want shared environments:

  • Persistent cloud mocks — deploy mock environments your whole team can hit
  • Team management — shared workspaces with access controls
  • Cloud tunnels — authenticated tunnels with custom domains

Coming soon. Join the waitlist.

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.
