Run json-server in Even

Even Stacks launches json-server as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find json-server in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8417, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://json-server.localhost.

Drive json-server with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate json-server directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside the container, build against the service, and read its logs to debug. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up json-server and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE to resource endpoints at http://localhost:8417 matching top-level keys in `db.json` (e.g., `/posts`, `/users`). Mount your own `db.json` into the container to define resources; writes via POST/PUT persist to that file.
