Web Dashboard

mockd includes an embedded web dashboard — a full-featured Svelte UI for creating, editing, and managing mocks across all supported protocols. No separate install required. If your binary includes the dashboard, open your browser and start working.

Accessing the Dashboard

When mockd is running, open the admin port in your browser:

http://localhost:4290

No extra flags or configuration needed. If the binary was built with the dashboard included, it’s served automatically from the admin API port (default 4290).

Release builds, Docker images, and packages installed via Homebrew, apt, or rpm all include the dashboard out of the box.

Features

Mock Management

Create, edit, and delete mocks for all 7 protocols from a single interface:

• HTTP — REST endpoints with method, path, headers, status, and body
• WebSocket — Connection handlers and message patterns
• GraphQL — Query and mutation mocks with operation matching
• gRPC — Service and RPC method mocks
• SOAP — WSDL-based operation mocks
• MQTT — Topic subscriptions and message payloads
• OAuth — Token endpoints and authorization flows

Tabbed Editor

A VS Code-style editing experience:

• Tabs — Open multiple mocks simultaneously, switch between them
• Command palette — Press Ctrl+K to search commands, mocks, and actions
• Keyboard shortcuts — Navigate and edit without touching the mouse

Mock Tree

The left sidebar organizes your mocks in a tree view:

• Folder grouping by protocol or custom structure
• Search and sort across all mocks
• Context menus with rename, duplicate, copy ID, copy JSON, and delete

Request Log Viewer

Inspect incoming traffic in real time:

• Sortable columns for method, path, status, latency, and timestamp
• Near-miss debugging — see which mocks almost matched a request and why they didn’t
• Filter and search across logged requests

Additional Views

• Recording sessions — Manage proxy recording sessions and captured traffic
• Stateful resources — View and edit CRUD resources created by stateful mocks
• Custom operations — Manage custom operation handlers
• Engine status — Monitor the running engine, active mocks, and resource usage
• Settings — Configure theme (light/dark) and connection settings
• Workspaces — Create, switch, and delete workspaces to organize mock sets
• Import/Export — Import from OpenAPI, Postman, HAR, WireMock, and other formats; export your mocks as YAML or JSON

Architecture

The dashboard is a Svelte single-page application embedded directly into the mockd binary. It’s served as static assets from the admin API — no separate backend or additional process.

The dashboard makes API calls to http://localhost:4290/... — the same admin API used by the CLI and MCP server. Everything the dashboard can do, the CLI and API can do too. The dashboard is a convenience layer, not a separate system.

Running with Docker

The official Docker image includes the dashboard:

docker run -p 4280:4280 -p 4290:4290 ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd:latest

• Mock server: http://localhost:4280
• Dashboard: http://localhost:4290

Building from Source

If you build mockd from source with go build ./cmd/mockd, the binary works fully — CLI, admin API, MCP server, and all protocols — but does not include the dashboard UI. When you visit the admin port in a browser, you’ll see a plain-text fallback explaining that the dashboard is available in release builds.

To get the dashboard, use one of the pre-built options:

• Homebrew: brew install getmockd/tap/mockd
• Docker: docker run ghcr.io/getmockd/mockd:latest
• Release binary: Download from GitHub Releases
• Install script: curl -fsSL https://get.mockd.io | sh

The dashboard is free but not open source. Release binaries include the compiled dashboard assets embedded at build time.
