How to Use the Beeceptor MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add Beeceptor to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http beeceptor -- in your terminal. All connection settings save automatically to your /.claude.json configuration file.

Q: How does the agent handle large binary uploads?

Claude manages non-text payloads natively. It calls uploadblob to send binary files to the proxy and uses downloadmultipart to fetch complex multi-part responses.

Connect Claude Code to your API mocks to automate testing, inspect webhooks, and manage proxy rules from the terminal.

Perplexity

Script API Infrastructure from the CLI

The Beeceptor MCP Server turns Claude Code into a headless API manager. You can trigger a shell script that tells Claude to scaffold a complete test environment using `create_rule` and `reorder_rules`. SREs use this to automate staging environments. Claude runs in your CI pipeline, pulls the latest OpenAPI spec, and executes `upload_spec` to ensure your mock endpoints perfectly match production.

Inspect Webhooks in the Terminal

Claude Code reads your intercepted network traffic straight from the command line. When a third-party webhook fails, you ask Claude to pull the payload using `get_request` and pipe the output to your logs. You never have to open a browser to clear out junk data. Claude maintains a clean testing environment by running `delete_requests` or targeting specific logs with `delete_request` between test runs.

Manage mTLS and State with the Beeceptor MCP Server

Backend developers can provision secure endpoints entirely through the terminal. Claude Code reads local pem files and pushes them to your proxy using `add_certificate` or removes expired ones with `delete_certificate`. Testing stateful workflows happens directly in your terminal session. Claude verifies session variables by calling `list_state` and modifies them with `upsert_state` to simulate complex user journeys.

Setup guide

Set up Beeceptor MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Open your terminal and run the command shown on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com. Use --scope user to make it available across all projects.
2

Verify the connection

Start a Claude Code session and type /mcp to list connected servers. You should see beeceptor-mcp with a green status indicator.
3

Start using tools

Ask Claude Code something like "Check my latest Beeceptor transactions." It will automatically discover and invoke the available Beeceptor tools.

Common questions about Beeceptor MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http beeceptor -- ` in your terminal. All connection settings save automatically to your `~/.claude.json` configuration file.

You can wipe your entire configuration with a single prompt. Claude executes `delete_all_rules` to reset the endpoint back to a blank slate.

Claude manages non-text payloads natively. It calls `upload_blob` to send binary files to the proxy and uses `download_multipart` to fetch complex multi-part responses.

Because Claude runs headless, you can script the entire mock setup. It verifies spec uploads via `get_job_status` and updates endpoint settings using `update_settings` during your build process.

Your swagger files and schema definitions pass directly to the proxy endpoint. Vinkius routes the traffic through an ephemeral V8 Isolate, meaning your proprietary API structures are never logged or stored at the middleware layer.
