# Creating a custom server

Instead of tying you down to mockit, you can also create your own server and use mockit's core functionalities.

## Creating your own custom server

{% code title="server.js" %}

```javascript
import express from 'express';
import mockit from '@builtwithluv/mockit';

const app = express();

mockit(app);

app.get('/my-own-endpoint', (req, res) => res.json({ hello: 'world' }));

app.listen(3000);
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Creating your own custom endpoints will not be detected on mockit's client. However, your custom endpoints will be reachable.
