.github/copilot-instructions.md

Mockoon-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Albenzoo/Mockoon-mcp. It costs 2,083 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Mockoon-mcp, a server that lets AI tools control Mockoon, an application for creating mock APIs. They describe its commands, dependencies, architecture, and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or developing the Mockoon-mcp server, running it locally, and manually checking its MCP initialization response.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project-specific information needed to work consistently. They also provide a manual check for whether the server starts and responds correctly.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Albenzoo/Mockoon-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on Mockoon-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Mockoon-mcp configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' |.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Mockoon-mcp copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Copilot Instructions — mockoon-mcp-server

Commands

npm run build      # compile TypeScript → dist/
npm run dev        # run src/index.ts directly with tsx (no build required)
npm start          # run dist/index.js (requires build)

No automated tests. To manually verify the MCP server responds correctly:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' | node dist/index.js

Key dependencies

Package Version Notes
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.27.1 MCP server + stdio transport
@mockoon/commons ^9.5.0 Environment, Route, DataBucket, enums
zod ^4.3.6 Zod v4 — some APIs differ from v3
typescript ^5.9.3 target ES2022, moduleResolution Node16
tsx ^4.21.0 dev runner (no build required)

Architecture

This is an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that exposes AI tools to control Mockoon. It communicates via stdio (JSON-RPC 2.0) — it does not expose any HTTP port of its own.

src/index.ts                  ← entry point: creates McpServer, registers server tools
                                (start_server, stop_server, list_running_servers),
                                imports and calls all registerXxxTools(), connects StdioServerTransport
src/tools/environments.ts     ← tools: list_environments, create_environment, delete_environment
src/tools/routes.ts           ← tools: list_routes, get_route, create_route, create_route_with_responses,
                                        bulk_create_routes, update_route, duplicate_route, delete_route,
                                        add_route_response, set_default_response, get_default_response
src/tools/templates.ts        ← tools: list_templates, create_template, update_template, delete_template
src/mockoon/fileManager.ts    ← reads/writes Mockoon JSON files on disk
src/mockoon/processManager.ts ← starts/stops mockoon-cli processes (in-memory Map<environmentId, ChildProcess>)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
