# Kong Insomnia: Empowering Modern Teams to Trust Any Endpoint they Ship – APIs, AI, and Beyond
## Open source collaborative platform for secure API development, from design-first teams to AI-native consumption
Organizations rely on the power of APIs to operate every facet of their businesses, from transferring data, to improving interconnectivity with medical devices, to smart grid systems, and connected applications. And the stakes have never been higher: APIs are being consumed not just by developers and applications, but by AI agents, LLMs, and autonomous systems that demand a new level of trust.
Organizations need a unified API development platform that ensures APIs and MCP servers are built efficiently, consistently, and securely for both developer and agentic consumption. With APIs becoming a top attack vector for hackers, security can’t be an afterthought. You need to trust what you ship and trust where your data lives. This means securing and governing, not just deploying APIs and MCP servers. It also means implementing rigorous security, credential management, and compliance checks throughout the entire pre-production lifecycle, before APIs reach production or AI agents.
