## 🌐 MCP Proxy Functionality

MockLoop MCP includes revolutionary proxy capabilities that enable seamless switching between mock and live API environments. This powerful feature transforms your testing workflow by providing:

### Core Proxy Capabilities

- **🔄 Seamless Mode Switching**: Transition between mock, proxy, and hybrid modes without code changes
- **🎯 Intelligent Routing**: Smart request routing based on configurable rules and conditions
- **🔐 Universal Authentication**: Support for API Key, Bearer Token, Basic Auth, and OAuth2
- **📊 Response Comparison**: Automated comparison between mock and live API responses
- **⚡ Zero-Downtime Switching**: Change modes dynamically without service interruption

### Operational Modes

#### Mock Mode (`MOCK`)
- All requests handled by generated mock responses
- Predictable, consistent testing environment
- Ideal for early development and isolated testing
- No external dependencies or network calls

#### Proxy Mode (`PROXY`)
- All requests forwarded to live API endpoints
- Real-time data and authentic responses
- Full integration testing capabilities
- Network-dependent operation with live credentials

#### Hybrid Mode (`HYBRID`)
- Intelligent routing between mock and proxy based on rules
- Conditional switching based on request patterns, headers, or parameters
- Gradual migration from mock to live environments
- A/B testing and selective endpoint proxying

### Quick Start Example

```python
from mockloop_mcp.mcp_tools import create_mcp_plugin

# Create a proxy-enabled plugin
plugin_result = await create_mcp_plugin(
    spec_url_or_path="https://api.example.com/openapi.json",
    mode="hybrid",  # Start with hybrid mode
    plugin_name="example_api",
    target_url="https://api.example.com",
    auth_config={
        "auth_type": "bearer_token",
        "credentials": {"token": "your-token"}
    },
    routing_rules=[
        {
            "pattern": "/api/critical/*",
            "mode": "proxy",  # Critical endpoints use live API
            "priority": 10
        },
        {
            "pattern": "/api/dev/*",
            "mode": "mock",   # Development endpoints use mocks
            "priority": 5
        }
    ]
)
```

### Advanced Features

- **🔍 Response Validation**: Compare mock vs live responses for consistency
- **📈 Performance Monitoring**: Track response times and throughput across modes
- **🛡️ Error Handling**: Graceful fallback mechanisms and retry policies
- **🎛️ Dynamic Configuration**: Runtime mode switching and rule updates
- **📋 Audit Logging**: Complete request/response tracking across all modes

### Authentication Support

The proxy system supports comprehensive authentication schemes:

- **API Key**: Header, query parameter, or cookie-based authentication
- **Bearer Token**: OAuth2 and JWT token support
- **Basic Auth**: Username/password combinations
- **OAuth2**: Full OAuth2 flow with token refresh
- **Custom**: Extensible authentication handlers for proprietary schemes

### Use Cases

- **Development Workflow**: Start with mocks, gradually introduce live APIs
- **Integration Testing**: Validate against real services while maintaining test isolation
- **Performance Testing**: Compare mock vs live API performance characteristics
- **Staging Validation**: Ensure mock responses match production API behavior
- **Hybrid Deployments**: Route critical operations to live APIs, others to mocks

## 🏗️ Dual-Port Architecture

MockLoop MCP introduces a revolutionary **dual-port architecture** that eliminates common conflicts and enhances security:

### Architecture Benefits

- **🔒 Enhanced Security**: Complete separation of mocked API and admin functionality
- **⚡ Zero Conflicts**: Eliminates /admin path conflicts in OpenAPI specifications
- **📊 Clean Analytics**: Admin calls don't appear in mocked API metrics
- **🔄 Independent Scaling**: Scale mocked API and admin services separately
- **🛡️ Port-Based Access Control**: Enhanced security through network isolation

### Port Configuration

```python
# Generate mock with dual-port architecture

- **Workflow Context**: Complex multi-step testing orchestration
- **Agent Context**: AI agent state management and coordination
- **Global Context**: Cross-session data sharing and persistence

### Example: Stateful E-commerce Testing

```python
# Create test session context
session = mockloop.create_test_session_context(
    session_name="ecommerce_integration_test",
    configuration={
        "test_type": "integration",
        "environment": "staging",
        "ai_enhanced": True
    }
)

# Create workflow context for multi-step testing
workflow = mockloop.create_workflow_context(
    workflow_name="user_journey_test",
    parent_context=session["context_id"],
    steps=[
        "user_registration",
        "product_browsing",
        "cart_management",
        "checkout_process",
        "order_fulfillment"
    ]
)

# Execute stateful test workflow
for step in workflow["steps"]:
    # Update context with step data
    mockloop.update_context_data(
        context_id=workflow["context_id"],
        data={"current_step": step, "timestamp": datetime.now()}
    )
    
    # Execute step-specific tests
    test_result = mockloop.execute_test_plan(
        server_url="http://localhost:8000",
        test_plan=f"{step}_test_plan",
        context_id=workflow["context_id"]
    )
    
    # Create snapshot for rollback capability
    snapshot = mockloop.create_context_snapshot(
        context_id=workflow["context_id"],
        snapshot_name=f"{step}_completion"
    )

# Analyze complete workflow results
final_analysis = mockloop.analyze_test_results(
    test_results=workflow["results"],
    context_id=workflow["context_id"],
    include_recommendations=True
)
```

## 🚀 Running Generated Mock Servers

### Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

```bash
# Navigate to generated mock directory
cd generated_mocks/your_api_mock

# Start with dual-port architecture
docker-compose up --build

# Access points:
