mcpmock

CLI tool that generates a mock Model Context Protocol server from list of cases in a YAML file.

Installation

From Github Releases: Download, unpack and put binary in your PATH

From sources:

go get github.com/strowk/mcpmock
go install github.com/strowk/mcpmock

Usage

For example if you define something like this in a YAML file:

case: List tools

# requesting list of tools
in: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/list", "id": 1}

# expect one tool in the list
out: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result":{ "tools": [{"description": "Hello MCP", "inputSchema": {"type": "object"}, "name": "hello"}] }, "id": 1}

---


case: Call Hello tool

# calling the tool
in: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "hello", "arguments": {}}, "id": 1}

# expect "Hi!" as output
out: {
  "jsonrpc": "2.0", 
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "content": [
      {"type": "text", "text": "Hi!"}
    ],
    "isError": false
  }, 
}

Then if you put it in the folder testdata (make sure file also ends with _test.yaml) and run mcpmock like this:

mcpmock serve testdata

It would start a mock MCP server with stdio transport that would serve the cases defined in the YAML file.

If you now copy and paste this into your terminal:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/list", "id": 1}

            , you should see list of tools as is defined in first MCP case.

And sending this:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "hello", "arguments": {}}, "id": 1}

, you should get the output as defined in second case.

It would also take care to replace the id field in the response with the id from the request, so if you send this:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "hello", "arguments": {}}, "id": 2}

, you should get the output as defined in second case, but with id field set to 2.
