About Mocktail

Self-hosted mock API server + dashboard in one ~25 MB binary. Define endpoints, generate realistic data, test errors and latency, and inspect live traffic. Model the responses your app expects, headers, delays, even the flaky 401, and let Mocktail keep the data lively. Keep responses fixed, generate fresh values on every request ( uuid, email, price, name ), or swap real fields for fake data when you need to anonymize a response. Create an endpoint, hit Test right from the dashboard, and watch it land in the live stream, method, status, latency, and the exact response and headers served.

About Papercrane

Every analytics vendor is bolting an AI copilot onto their dashboards. Power BI has one. Tableau has one. They all work the same way: the human drives the old tool, and the AI sits in a sidebar making suggestions. I took the agent you already use and built the BI tool around it. papercrane-cli is a command line tool that gives Claude Code everything it needs to turn a business question into a live dashboard: authenticated access to your data, a real dashboard workspace, and a path to a link you can send to anyone.
