mockllm 0.0.1

A mock server that mimics OpenAI and Anthropic API formats for testing

Mock LLM Server

A FastAPI-based mock LLM server that mimics OpenAI and Anthropic API formats. Instead of calling actual language models, it uses predefined responses from a YAML configuration file.

This is made for when you want a deterministic response for testing or development purposes.

Features

• OpenAI and Anthropic compatible API endpoints
• Streaming support (character-by-character response streaming)
• Configurable responses via YAML file
• Hot-reloading of response configurations
• JSON logging
• Error handling
• Mock token counting

Installation

From PyPI

pip install mockllm

From Source

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/lukehinds/mockllm.git
cd mockllm

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -e ".[dev]"  # Install with development dependencies
# or
pip install -e .         # Install without development dependencies

Usage

1. Set up the responses.yml

cp example.responses.yml responses.yml

2. Start the server:

python -m mockllm

Or using uvicorn directly:

uvicorn mockllm.server:app --reload

The server will start on http://localhost:8000

3. Send requests to the API endpoints:

OpenAI Format

Regular request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "mock-llm",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "what colour is the sky?"}
    ]
  }'

Streaming request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "mock-llm",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "what colour is the sky?"}
    ],
    "stream": true
  }'

Anthropic Format

Regular request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/messages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "what colour is the sky?"}
    ]
  }'

Streaming request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/messages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "what colour is the sky?"}
    ],
    "stream": true
  }'

Configuration

Response Configuration

Responses are configured in responses.yml. The file has two main sections:

1. responses: Maps input prompts to predefined responses
2. defaults: Contains default configurations like the unknown response message

Example responses.yml:

responses:
  "what colour is the sky?": "The sky is blue during a clear day due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering."
  "what is 2+2?": "2+2 equals 9."

defaults:
  unknown_response: "I don't know the answer to that. This is a mock response."

Hot Reloading

The server automatically detects changes to responses.yml and reloads the configuration without requiring a restart.

API Format

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling:

• Invalid requests return 400 status codes with descriptive messages
• Server errors return 500 status codes with error details
• All errors are logged using JSON format

Logging

The server uses JSON-formatted logging for:

• Incoming request details
• Response configuration loading
• Error messages and stack traces
