### Description (declared)

# mcp-mock

mcp-mock is a lightweight synthetic mock server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It is designed for local testing, demos, and resilience experiments where you want a predictable MCP endpoint without depending on a real backend.

The current codebase includes:

- a `MockMCPServer` implementation for registering tools and serving responses
- a synthetic response generator powered by Faker
- a chaos layer for latency and injected failures
- a CLI entry point for running a mock server from a schema file
- a pytest suite covering the core behaviors

## Installation

Install the package from the project root:

```bash
python -m pip install -e .
```

Install development dependencies as well:

```bash
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Usage

mcp-mock is most useful when you want a predictable MCP server for local development, test automation, or demos. You can either run it from the command line with a schema file or create a server directly in Python.

### CLI usage

The CLI entry point is `mcp-mock serve`. It reads a JSON file that describes the tools you want to expose and starts a mock MCP server over stdio.

Run a server from a schema file:

```bash
mcp-mock serve --schema ./tools_schema.json
```

Add simulated latency and failure injection:

```bash
mcp-mock serve --schema ./tools_schema.json --latency 100 --error-rate 0.1
```

#### CLI options

- `--schema` or `-s`: required path to a JSON schema file
- `--latency`: adds a delay in milliseconds before each tool response
- `--error-rate`: injects failures probabilistically, from `0.0` to `1.0`

### Python API usage

You can also create a server programmatically in Python.…
