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.

Flexibility

Store data locally, via Git, or in the cloud

  • Create collections, design specs, tests, and more with 100% local storage, backups, and recovery.
  • Leverage a third-party Git repository as the backend storage option for your API data.
  • Easily collaborate in the cloud with native cloud sync (with optional end-to-end encryption).

Governance

Mandate data locality

  • Mandate top-down storage settings for every member of the organization.
  • Configure storage settings as local-only + Git, cloud-only, or all of the above.
  • Securely manage access to sensitive API assets like collections, design documents, API tests, and more.
Learn More
Security

Leverage enterprise-grade identity & security

  • Integrate with any third-party IDP compatible with OIDC and SAML for a streamlined and secure SSO experience.
  • Use SCIM with a third-party IDP to automatically initiate user provisioning or deprovisioning without having to manually create or remove user accounts.
Learn More
Collaboration

Drive cross-functional collaboration

  • Use RBAC rules to set up guardrails for team collaboration.
  • Share Kong Insomnia projects, collections, and other API resources with your trusted team members.
