Insomnia
Sleep well. Your APIs are AI-ready.

Insomnia is an open-source, collaborative API development platform that supports HTTP, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, WebSockets, and more. It allows developers to test, debug, and design API endpoints with AI-powered capabilities and MCP client support. It offers flexible workflows including local, Git, and cloud-based options, with a free tier that requires no account for local testing.
Insomnia provides a desktop/web client where developers can create, organize, and execute API requests across various protocols, with optional cloud or Git sync for team collaboration.
