A high-performance, multi-protocol mock server with built-in cloud tunneling. Mock HTTP, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, SSE, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs locally or share them instantly via a single command.

• Multi-Protocol: Mock HTTP, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, SSE, GraphQL, and SOAP from a single tool
• Cloud Tunnel: Expose local mocks to the internet with one command — all protocols tunneled through a single QUIC connection
• Local-First: Zero external dependencies, works completely offline
• High Performance: Handles 1000+ concurrent requests with sub-2-second startup
• CLI Tool: Full command-line interface with 30+ commands
• Flexible Matching: Match requests by method, path, headers, query params, body, and protocol-specific fields
• HTTPS & mTLS: Auto-generated certificates with mutual TLS support
• Admin API: RESTful API for dynamic mock configuration
• Stateful Mocking: Simulate CRUD operations with persistent state
• Chaos Engineering: Fault injection, latency simulation, and error responses
• Proxy Recording: Record real API traffic for replay
• AI Mock Generation: Generate mocks from natural language via MCP server
• Request Logging: Full request inspection for debugging
• Import/Export: OpenAPI, Postman, WireMock, HAR, and cURL formats

# Start the server
mockd start

# Create a mock endpoint
mockd add --method GET --path /api/hello --body '{"message": "Hello, World!"}'

# Try it
curl http://localhost:4280/api/hello
# → {"message": "Hello, World!"}

For Docker:

docker run -p 4280:4280 -p 4290:4290 ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd:latest
curl -X POST http://localhost:4290/mocks -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
  "type": "http",
  "name": "hello",
  "http": {
    "matcher": {"method": "GET", "path": "/api/hello"},
    "response": {"statusCode": 200, "body": "{\"message\": \"Hello, World!\"}"}
  }
}'
curl http://localhost:4280/api/hello

Share your local mocks with anyone on the internet. mockd's built-in QUIC tunnel forwards all protocols (HTTP, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, SSE) through a single encrypted connection on port 443.

# Expose your local mock server to the internet (no signup required)
mockd tunnel-quic --port 4280

# Output:
# Tunnel connected!
#   HTTP:  https://a1b2c3d4.tunnel.mockd.io -> http://localhost:4280
#   Auth:  none (tunnel URL is public)

# Tunnel a gRPC server
mockd tunnel-quic --port 50051

# Tunnel with MQTT broker support
mockd tunnel-quic --port 4280 --mqtt 1883

# Protect with token auth
mockd tunnel-quic --port 4280 --auth-token secret123

All seven protocols work through the tunnel automatically:

Configure mockd via environment variables for CI/CD:

mockd supports configuration files with the following precedence:

1. Command-line flags (highest priority)
2. Environment variables
3. Local config .mockdrc.yaml (current directory)
4. Global config ~/.config/mockd/config.yaml
5. Default values

Example .mockdrc.yaml:

port: 3000
adminPort: 4290
maxLogEntries: 500

Create, update, and delete mocks at runtime:

# Create a mock
curl -X POST http://localhost:4290/mocks \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "matcher": {"method": "GET", "path": "/api/health"},
    "response": {"statusCode": 200, "body": "{\"status\": \"ok\"}"}
  }'

# List all mocks
curl http://localhost:4290/mocks

# Delete a mock
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4290/mocks/{id}

Load mocks from a JSON file:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "name": "My API Mocks",
  "mocks": [
    {
      "id": "get-users",
      "matcher": {"method": "GET", "path": "/api/users"},
      "response": {"statusCode": 200, "body": "[]"}
    }
  ]
}

mockd provides extension points for custom audit logging integrations. This allows you to build custom integrations without modifying the core codebase.

Register custom audit log writers to send logs to your SIEM, monitoring system, or custom backend:

package main

import (
    "github.com/getmockd/mockd/pkg/audit"
)

func init() {
    // Register your custom writer factory
    audit.RegisterWriter("my-backend", func(config map[string]interface{}) (audit.AuditLogger, error) {
        endpoint, _ := config["endpoint"].(string)
        return &MyCustomWriter{
            endpoint: endpoint,
        }, nil
    })
}

type MyCustomWriter struct {
    endpoint string
}

func (w *MyCustomWriter) Log(entry audit.AuditEntry) error {
    // Send to your backend
    return nil
}

func (w *MyCustomWriter) Close() error {
    return nil
}

Register custom PII redaction logic for audit logs:

func init() {
    audit.RegisterRedactor(func(entry *audit.AuditEntry) *audit.AuditEntry {
        // Redact sensitive fields from entry.Request.Headers, etc.
        return entry
    })
}

Extensions are registered via init() functions and automatically discovered when your extension package is imported.
