MockHero
Generate realistic relational test data — 156 field types, 22 locales, JSON/CSV/SQL, free previews.
What can you do with MockHero?
- 156 field types across 15+ categories (identity, location, financial, temporal, and more)
- Relational data — foreign keys just work. Orders reference real user IDs, reviews link to real products. One API call seeds your entire database.
- 3 input modes — structured schema, plain English prompt, or pre-built templates
- Auto-locale — add a
countryenum field and names, emails, phones match each row's nationality. 22 locales supported. - JSON, CSV, SQL output — Postgres, MySQL, SQLite dialects
- Deterministic seeds — same seed + same schema = identical data every time
- MCP server — use from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any AI agent
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http mockhero 'https://mockhero.dev/mcp/agent'
{
"mcpServers": {
"mockhero": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mockhero.dev/mcp/agent"
