做最好的接口管理平台
DOClever is a self-hostable API management platform for small-to-medium teams — think Postman meets Swagger editor with built-in mock server and chained automation testing. It's primarily aimed at Chinese-speaking teams doing REST API development with a Vue/Node/MongoDB stack. The core pitch is replacing the Postman + separate mock server + separate doc generator workflow with one tool.
The built-in mock server that automatically switches between mock and real responses based on interface completion status is genuinely useful — no separate mock setup needed. Chained automation testing that passes response values between sequential API calls solves a real gap that simpler tools ignore. Version branching with snapshot rollback per interface is a solid feature for teams that iterate on contracts frequently. Self-hosted MongoDB backend means your API specs stay on your infrastructure, which matters for teams with data sensitivity requirements.
Recommended Node version is 8.11.1, which hit end-of-life in 2019 — the entire stack is frozen in amber and the roadmap items in the README are dated promises that never shipped. The repo ships compiled dist bundles alongside source, which makes auditing what you're actually running difficult and signals a build process that was never properly separated from the output. Security hardening was explicitly removed from the open-source version ('默认内网是安全的'), so running this on anything internet-facing is your problem to solve. No TypeScript, no tests visible in the repo, and the QQ group as the primary support channel means debugging production issues is largely on you.
