Unified mock server for AI-Protocol runtimes - HTTP provider and MCP JSON-RPC mocking

Project description

ai-protocol-mock

Unified mock server for AI-Protocol runtimes. Provides HTTP provider mock (OpenAI and Anthropic formats) and MCP JSON-RPC mock for testing ai-lib-python, ai-lib-rust, and other runtimes.

Features

  • Manifest-driven HTTP mock: Generates responses in OpenAI or Anthropic format based on provider manifests
  • STT / TTS / Rerank mock: Simulates speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and document reranking endpoints (OpenAI/Cohere compliant)
  • MCP JSON-RPC mock: Implements tools/list, tools/call, capabilities, initialize
  • Configurable: Response delay, error rate, mock content via environment variables
  • Docker: One-command startup with docker-compose up

Quick Start

# Install and run
pip install -e .
python scripts/sync_manifests.py --force  # Sync manifests from ai-protocol
uvicorn ai_protocol_mock.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4010

Or with Docker:

docker-compose up -d

Configuration

Variable Default Description
HTTP_PORT 4010 Port for HTTP and MCP (MCP at /mcp)
MANIFEST_DIR manifests Directory for synced manifests
MANIFEST_SYNC_URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ailib-official/ai-protocol/v1.0.0/ Source for manifest sync (pin v1.0.0 for reproducible CI)
AI_PROTOCOL_TAG (optional) Convenience alias; docker-compose sets v1.0.0
RESPONSE_DELAY 0 Delay in seconds before responding
ERROR_RATE 0 Probability (0-1) of returning 429/500/503
MOCK_CONTENT Mock response from ai-protocol-mock Default response content

Test Control Headers (X-Mock-*)

For integration tests, requests can include these headers to control mock behavior:

Header Description Example
X-Mock-Status Force HTTP error status (400-599) 429, 500, 503
X-Mock-Content Override response content for this request Custom text
X-Mock-Tool-Calls Return tool_calls instead of text; parallel or recursive for multi-tool scenarios 1, parallel, recursive
X-Mock-Reasoning Include reasoning/thinking blocks in chat response true
X-Mock-Error Inject standard errors (context_overflow, content_filter, rate_limit, stream_interrupt) rate_limit
X-Mock-Usage-Format Enrich usage payload (openai or anthropic shape) openai
X-Mock-Tool-Depth Max recursive tool-call rounds (with recursive) 2
X-Mock-Invalid-Content-Type Inject text/plain payload for robustness tests 1
X-Mock-Video-Terminal Force async video terminal state (succeeded/failed/cancelled) failed

Endpoints

  • POST /v1/chat/completions - OpenAI-format chat
  • POST /v1/messages - Anthropic-format chat
  • POST /v1/audio/transcriptions - STT (OpenAI Whisper format), returns {"text": "..."}
  • POST /v1/audio/speech - TTS (OpenAI format), returns audio/mpeg bytes
  • POST /v2/rerank - Rerank (Cohere v2 format), request {query, documents, top_n}, returns {results, id, meta}
  • POST /v1/video/generations - Video generation (sync + async polling)
  • GET /v1/video/generations/{job_id} - Poll async video generation status
  • POST /mcp - MCP JSON-RPC (tools/list, tools/call, capabilities, initialize)
  • GET /health - Health check
  • GET /status - Status with manifest sync metadata
  • GET /providers - Provider contracts from manifests (provider_id, api_style, chat_path, capability_profile summary)

Video Generation Lifecycle

Async video generation jobs follow a deterministic state machine:

queued -> running -> terminal

Terminal states:

  • succeeded (default): returns output with mock mp4 metadata
  • failed: returns error payload (video_generation_failed)
  • cancelled: returns cancellation payload (mock_cancelled_for_test)

Controls:

  • request body terminal_state or header X-Mock-Video-Terminal
  • unknown values fall back to succeeded

Using with ai-lib-python

import os
os.environ["MOCK_HTTP_URL"] = "http://localhost:4010"

from ai_lib_python.client import AiClient
from ai_lib_python.types.message import Message

client = await AiClient.create(
    "openai/gpt-4o",
    api_key="sk-test",
    base_url="http://localhost:4010"
)
response = await client.chat().messages([Message.user("Hi")]).execute()
print(response.content)

Or run tests with mock:

MOCK_HTTP_URL=http://localhost:4010 MOCK_MCP_URL=http://localhost:4010/mcp pytest tests/ -v

Third-Party Integration (ZeroClaw, etc.)

ai-protocol-mock is designed for downstream runtimes and frameworks that need deterministic testing without real API calls:

  • ZeroClaw / ZeroSpider: Set MOCK_HTTP_URL and MOCK_MCP_URL to the mock server (e.g. http://192.168.2.13:4010) before running integration tests. Use NO_PROXY to bypass HTTP proxies when testing against a local or LAN mock.
  • CI pipelines: Start mock via docker-compose up -d or uvicorn ai_protocol_mock.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4010, then run tests with the env vars above.
  • Error injection: Set ERROR_RATE=0.1 to simulate 429/500/503 for resilience testing.

Remote / proxy environments: If your machine uses HTTP/HTTPS proxy, set NO_PROXY to include the mock server IP so Python's httpx can reach it directly:

NO_PROXY=192.168.2.13,localhost,127.0.0.1 MOCK_HTTP_URL=http://192.168.2.13:4010 MOCK_MCP_URL=http://192.168.2.13:4010/mcp pytest tests/ -v

Using with ai-lib-rust

export MOCK_HTTP_URL=http://localhost:4010
cargo run --example basic_usage

Or run mock integration tests:

MOCK_HTTP_URL=http://localhost:4010 MOCK_MCP_URL=http://localhost:4010/mcp cargo test -- --ignored --nocapture

Or in code:

let client = AiClientBuilder::new()
    .base_url_override("http://localhost:4010")
    .build("openai/gpt-4o")
    .await?;

Manifest Sync

Sync manifests from the ai-protocol repository:

python scripts/sync_manifests.py [--force] [--url URL] [--tag REF]
  • --force - Overwrite existing files
  • --tag REF - Pin to a specific ai-protocol ref (e.g. v1.0.0, main; default URL pins v1.0.0)
  • --url URL - Custom base URL (overrides default pinned release)

Run before starting the server to ensure manifests are up to date. CI and docker-compose should use --tag v1.0.0 (or equivalent URL) so integration tests match the v1.0.0 protocol matrix.

v1.0 migration (from 0.1.x)

0.1.x v1.0+
Path heuristics (/messages → Anthropic) ContractResolver + manifest streaming.decoder.strategy / ProviderContract
Hardcoded JSON shapes only X-Mock-* generative branches (reasoning, tools, structured output)
main manifest sync Pin ai-protocol@v1.0.0 in CI and sync_manifests.py

Breaking changes are documented in CHANGELOG; PyPI 1.0.1 ships after four-runtime Mock Integration CI is green (MOCK-001-R4).
