DATAMIMIC — Deterministic Synthetic Test Data That Makes Sense

Generate realistic, interconnected, and reproducible test data for finance, healthcare, and beyond.

Faker gives you random data. DATAMIMIC gives you consistent, explainable datasets that respect business logic and domain constraints.

• 🧬 Patient medical histories that match age and demographics
• 💳 Bank transactions that obey balance constraints
• 🛡 Insurance policies aligned with real risk profiles

✨ Why DATAMIMIC?

Typical data generators produce isolated random values. That’s fine for unit tests — but meaningless for system, analytics, or compliance testing.

# Faker — broken relationships
patient_name = fake.name()
patient_age = fake.random_int(1, 99)
conditions   = [fake.word()]
# "25-year-old with Alzheimer's" — nonsense data

# DATAMIMIC — contextual realism
from datamimic_ce.domains.healthcare.services import PatientService
patient = PatientService().generate()
print(f"{patient.full_name}, {patient.age}, {patient.conditions}")
# "Shirley Thompson, 72, ['Diabetes', 'Hypertension']"

⚙️ Quickstart (Community Edition)

Install and run:

pip install datamimic-ce

Deterministic Generation

DATAMIMIC produces the same data for the same request, across machines and CI runs. Seeds, clocks, and UUIDv5 namespaces enforce reproducibility.

from datamimic_ce.domains.facade import generate_domain

request = {
    "domain": "person",
    "version": "v1",
    "count": 1,
    "seed": "docs-demo",                # identical seed → identical output
    "locale": "en_US",
    "clock": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"     # fixed clock = stable time context
}

response = generate_domain(request)
print(response["items"][0]["id"])
# Same input → same output

Determinism Contract

• Inputs: {seed, clock, uuidv5-namespace, request body}
• Guarantees: byte-identical payloads + stable determinism_proof.content_hash
• Scope: all CE domains (see docs for domain-specific caveats)

⚡ MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Run DATAMIMIC as an MCP server so Claude / Cursor (and agents) can call deterministic data tools.

Install

pip install datamimic-ce[mcp]
# Development
pip install -e .[mcp]

Run (SSE transport)

export DATAMIMIC_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
export DATAMIMIC_MCP_PORT=8765
# Optional auth; clients must send the same token via Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key
export DATAMIMIC_MCP_API_KEY=changeme
datamimic-mcp

In-proc example (determinism proof)

import anyio, json
from fastmcp.client import Client
from datamimic_ce.mcp.models import GenerateArgs
from datamimic_ce.mcp.server import create_server

async def main():
    args = GenerateArgs(domain="person", locale="en_US", seed=42, count=2)
    payload = args.model_dump(mode="python")
    async with Client(create_server()) as c:
        a = await c.call_tool("generate", {"args": payload})
        b = await c.call_tool("generate", {"args": payload})
        print(json.loads(a[0].text)["determinism_proof"]["content_hash"]
              == json.loads(b[0].text)["determinism_proof"]["content_hash"])  # True
anyio.run(main)

Config keys

• DATAMIMIC_MCP_HOST (default 127.0.0.1)
• DATAMIMIC_MCP_PORT (default 8765)
• DATAMIMIC_MCP_API_KEY (unset = no auth)
• Requests over cap (count > 10_000) are rejected with 422.

🧩 Domains & Examples

🏥 Healthcare

from datamimic_ce.domains.healthcare.services import PatientService
patient = PatientService().generate()
print(patient.full_name, patient.conditions)

• Demographically realistic patients
• Doctor specialties match conditions
• Hospital capacities and types
• Longitudinal medical records

💰 Finance

from datamimic_ce.domains.finance.services import BankAccountService
account = BankAccountService().generate()
print(account.account_number, account.balance)

• Balances respect transaction histories
• Card/IBAN formats per locale
• Distributions tuned for fraud/reconciliation tests

🌐 Demographics

• PersonService with locale packs (DE / US / VN), versioned and auditable

---

🔒 Deterministic by Design

• Frozen clocks + canonical hashing → reproducible IDs
• Seeded RNG → identical outputs across runs
• Schema validation (XSD/JSONSchema) → structural integrity
• Provenance hashing → audit-ready lineage

📘 See Developer Guide

🧮 XML / Python Parity

Python:

from random import Random
from datamimic_ce.domains.common.models.demographic_config import DemographicConfig
from datamimic_ce.domains.healthcare.services import PatientService

cfg = DemographicConfig(age_min=70, age_max=75)
svc = PatientService(dataset="US", demographic_config=cfg, rng=Random(1337))
print(svc.generate().to_dict())

Equivalent XML:

<setup>
  <generate name="seeded_seniors" count="3" target="CSV">
    <variable name="patient" entity="Patient" dataset="US" ageMin="70" ageMax="75" rngSeed="1337" />
    <key name="full_name" script="patient.full_name" />
    <key name="age" script="patient.age" />
    <array name="conditions" script="patient.conditions" />
  </generate>
</setup>
