WireMock
WireMock Cloud creates simulated API environments for development, testing, and AI coding workflows.
What WireMock is
WireMock Cloud creates simulated API environments for development, testing, and AI coding workflows. It supports REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, and SOAP simulations, and can import mocks from Postman, HAR files, OpenAPI or Swagger, and WireMock open source. WireMock Runner can record APIs, including internal services behind a corporate firewall, then run simulations locally or in CI/CD. The platform also offers a remote MCP server and Agent Skills for clients including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, VS Code, and Augment. The free plan is limited to one user, three mock APIs, 1,000 calls per month, and 10 requests per second. When the monthly call quota is exceeded, mocks stop running until the quota resets. Enterprise features include stateful simulations, versioning, Git integration, request and audit logs, role-based access control, single sign-on, hybrid deployment, priority support, and an SLA; its price is provided by tailored quote. WireMock says Cloud is SOC 2 certified and is built on the open-source WireMock API mocking platform.
