Which client?
All / shared core
The problem
Testing a client integration against a real server is often unnecessary once you know the shape of its responses -- but there's no way to take a recorded/replayed Inspector session and turn it into a standalone mock server for reuse (CI, offline dev).
Solution you have in mind (optional)
A command that takes a saved session/log and emits a minimal test-servers-style mock server replaying the recorded tool/resource/prompt responses. Flagging as a discussion given the scope.
Alternatives or workarounds you have tried

Before you submit
- I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.
- This is a request for the Inspector itself, not for the MCP specification or an SDK.
