Hoverfly MCP Server

kapishmalik/hoverfly-mcp-server

A Spring Boot-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Hoverfly as a programmable tool for AI assistants like Cursor, Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, or any other assistant supporting MCP. It enables dynamic mocking of third-party APIs to unblock development and testing when external services are unavailable.
