Basics
Getting Started
What Faker Forge does, core concepts, and first successful run.
Getting Started
Faker Forge helps you generate realistic database data, mock APIs with controllable scenarios, and automate both through MCP tools.
What You Can Do
- Import SQL schemas or migration-like definitions.
- Generate realistic fake rows with relationship awareness.
- Edit faker mappings before re-generation.
- Export generated output as SQL, JSON, CSV, or XML.
- Build mock APIs with per-endpoint scenarios.
- Connect AI agents via MCP for generation and mocking workflows.
Product Areas
Data Generation
Use schema parsing plus faker mappings to produce consistent records quickly.
API Mocking
Create mock endpoints with scenarios, status codes, delays, and headers.
MCP
Use authenticated MCP tools so agents can list schemas, generate data, and manage API mocks.
First Successful Run
- Go to Generate and upload or paste your schema.
- Open a parsed schema page and confirm detected tables.
- Set per-table row counts and mapping preferences.
- Run generation.
- Open Export and download your preferred format.
Key Terms
- Schema: A parsed database structure used as generation input.
- Mapping: Faker method selection for each column.
- Relationship: Parent-child foreign key linkage used during generation.
- Mock: A named API surface with one or more endpoints.
- Scenario: A conditional response variant for an endpoint.
- Codebase Identifier: Stable project key used by MCP to reuse schema or mock context.
