What is the Mockaroo MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire data synthesis workflow with Mockaroo, the professional engine for realistic dummy data. By connecting Mockaroo to your agent, you transform complex data generation into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly generate thousands of rows of data, audit saved schemas, and retrieve available field types without you ever touching a technical configuration page. Whether you are testing application performance or building realistic prototypes, your agent acts as a real-time data architect, ensuring your test environments are always powered by high-quality, diverse data.
What you can do
- Data Synthesis — Generate hundreds of realistic records based on custom field definitions and retrieve them in JSON format instantly.
- Schema Oversight — Browse your saved Mockaroo schemas to maintain a clear view of your configured data structures.
- Field Intelligence — List all available field types in the Mockaroo catalog to identify the perfect markers for your test data.
- Template Discovery — Generate data using specific saved schemas to ensure consistency across different test cycles.
- Dataset Management — List your uploaded datasets to maintain strict organizational control over your reference data.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Mockaroo API Key

- Backend Developers — verify data structures and audit schema definitions for API testing.
- Product Managers — perform rapid audits of prototype data and identify missing field types through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate data synthesis querying to orchestrate cross-functional development teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Mockaroo API Key?
Log in to your Mockaroo account, and you will find your API Key on the API Keys page. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent use my saved schemas?
Yes. Use the generate_from_schema tool providing the name of your saved schema. Your agent will generate data following that specific structure instantly.
Is it possible to list all available field types?
Yes. The list_field_types tool returns the full catalog of Mockaroo field types, allowing you to audit available markers for your data generation.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
