# Build and test APIs and MCP servers faster

Ship faster with an API development platform built for collaboration and security at scale.

[Book Demo](/contact-sales)Book Demo[Get Started with Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/pricing)Get Started with Insomnia

## Collaborative API design, mocking, testing, and debugging

### Intuitive API design

Streamline API development with a design-first approach. Use OpenAPI specs to create, edit, and preview APIs effortlessly.

### Native API mocking

Create API mocks with dynamic responses manually or automatically from your collections, OpenAPI specs, API responses, or natural language.

### Automated, Dynamic API testing

Automatically test multiple requests in your collections with unlimited collection runs. Use pre- and after-response scripting to create complex workflows, advanced tests, and dynamically generated data. 

### AI-Native Testing

Validate MCP servers with the built-in client to test, inspect, and debug before agentic consumption. Accelerate development with AI-powered workflows to help you ship faster. 

## Why Kong Insomnia?

Build APIs with security, compliance, and collaboration in mind. Leverage an all-inclusive solution to drive efficiency across teams, with no hidden fees.
