# Test MCP Servers for Reliable AI Connectivity

Connect to MCP servers and invoke tools, resources, and prompts with custom parameters to validate responses before agents call them in production.

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

## Trust the MCP Servers You Ship

Call tools, inspect resources, and validate prompts to ensure they work exactly as expected before agentic consumption in production. 

Prevent costly agent failures, avoid broken workflows that frustrate end users, and protect your reputation by shipping MCP servers with confidence. 

Validate once in Insomnia, deploy with confidence, and ensure your agents deliver reliable results from day 1.

### Test MCP Servers Directly

Connect to HTTP and STDIO MCP servers to visualize and validate responses.

### Manual Tool Invocation

Call any tool with custom parameters to validate response, test edge cases, and catch issues before agents do in production.

### MCP Testing for every team

Whether you’re a solo developer or an enterprise team, create MCP clients on all our plans.

## Test MCP Servers the Same Way You Test APIs

## Validate your API-to-MCP Transformations

Turn APIs into MCP servers in Kong Konnect, or bring your own MCP servers from any source, and validate them in Insomnia by testing tools and verifying responses before agents use them. 

Bridge the gap between your existing API infrastructure and the AI-powered future without the risk.

## See MCP Server Authentication Unfold

Inspect the complete authentication sequence in the MCP Auth event log to see exactly which calls succeed and where the problem is. 

Eliminate hours of guesswork debugging cryptic agent errors. Pinpoint auth issues instantly and get your MCP integrations working right the first time.
