Control mock rules in Claude Desktop

Create, reorder, or wipe out mock rules on the fly. You use `create_rule` to define responses and `reorder_rules` to set the priority of your endpoints during a session. Updating your logic takes seconds. Just call `update_rule_full` or `update_rule_partial` to change behavior without touching a config file.

View and manage requests

Check exactly what hit your server by using `list_requests`. You can inspect specific payloads with `get_request` and clear out history using `delete_requests` when you need a clean slate. This MCP Server provides the visibility you need to debug. If you see a bad request, `delete_request` pulls it out of the queue immediately.

Handle security and state

Add or remove mTLS certificates using `add_certificate` and `list_certificates` to secure your testing environment. You stay in control of your handshake process. Managing state is just as easy. Use `upsert_state` to push data and `delete_state_item` to prune entries as your test scenarios evolve.
