   GraphQL Zero – AIs Mocking APIs▲7

   I made an API mocking tool that imports a schema, populates fake data, then runs a local server. This is helpful for testing APIs or advanced prototyping. A demo video is here: https://www.loom.com/share/abad2cdf325e4e0b9addea1e14406166?...

You can run it locally or on your own infrastructure — no account or hosted service required. You can define endpoints and responses, generate realistic data per request, customize headers, status codes and latency, and inspect incoming requests in real time. With v4, I also added MCP support, so coding…
