Beeceptor features
- AI-generated mock from specs. Upload OpenAPI/Swagger, GraphQL, gRPC or SOAP and get a fully functional mock server with realistic data.
- No-code request matching. Create dynamic and conditional responses via an intuitive UI without writing code.
- Live request inspection. View payloads, headers and details in real time for debugging webhooks and callbacks.
- Proxy & record. Route traffic through a live backend, record it and switch to mock mode when needed.
- Stateful mock servers. Define multi-step behavior, delays, timeouts and CRUD routes with built-in storage.
- Local tunnel. Expose third-party event payloads to your local machine on a specific port.
- CI/CD integration. Programmatically control mock behavior and integrate into pipelines (Team and Scale plans).
- Custom domain & mTLS. Use your own domain and certificate-based authentication for private mock endpoints (Team/Scale).
WunderGraph features
- Connect any service. Expose gRPC, Kafka, NATS or Redis services through a unified GraphQL router without extra infrastructure.
- Real-time streams. Router handles subscriptions, aggregating events from Kafka, NATS or Redis and pushes updates to clients.
- MCP Gateway. One gateway turns approved operations into agent-ready tools with built-in authentication, eliminating separate MCP servers.
- Graph governance hub. Shared canvas for schema design, review, ownership, proposals and safe deployments with audit logs and RBAC.
- Cache warming. Pre-warm query planning cache to eliminate long planning delays for high-load scenarios.
