NetGet: Describe a server. Get a server.

What you can build

🧪

HTTP mock API

"HTTP on 3000. GET /users returns fake JSON, POST /login always succeeds."

Test frontends without a backend.

🗄️

Dummy database

"MySQL server. Answer any SELECT with realistic data."

No schema, no seed scripts.

🍯

Honeypot

"SSH on 2222. Act like Ubuntu, accept any password, log everything."

Watch attackers talk to an LLM.

⚡

Instant infra

"DNS on 5353. Resolve *.local to 127.0.0.1."

DNS, NTP, DHCP. One sentence each.

Protocols

179 protocol features. Each is a Cargo feature; build with exactly what you need: --features tcp,http,dns.

Install

As CLI

# install
npm install -g @smotana/netget            # or grab a binary from GitHub Releases

# run with local Ollama
ollama pull qwen3-coder:30b
netget

# or run against any OpenAI-compatible API
netget --openai-url https://api.openai.com --model gpt-4o --api-key $OPENAI_API_KEY

As Local STDIO MCP

Add to claude_desktop_config.json or any MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netget": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@smotana/netget", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add netget -- npx -y @smotana/netget --mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/smotanacom/netget.git
cd netget

# build only the protocols you need
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features tcp,http,ssh,dns,mcp-stdio

./target/release/netget          # interactive TUI
./target/release/netget --mcp    # MCP STDIO server
