AI agents (MCP)

An MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents build, run, and save API requests as real collections in your project.

Your AI agent tests APIs. Now it can save that work.

Coding agents test endpoints with throwaway curl commands that vanish when the session ends, so you rebuild every request by hand. Gud API ships an MCP server that turns that testing into something you keep.

The agent builds an endpoint, runs it, and saves the request and the response as a real collection in your project's .gud-api/ folder. It appears in your sidebar while the agent works, keeps the responses it captured, and commits to git so it reviews in the pull request next to the code.

  }
}

Works where you work

Your editor, any MCP client

Install the extension in Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Antigravity, Trae, and other VS Code-compatible editors from Open VSX, or in VS Code from the Marketplace. The MCP server works with any MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Cline, Zed, and more.

Why switch

Free where others charge

Other API clients keep shrinking their free tier: collection caps, forced accounts, features moving behind a subscription. Gud API goes the other way. The free tier isn't a teaser, it's the full product. Unlimited requests, unlimited collections, no account. Pro is optional, and only adds cloud sync and unlimited environments for people who want them.

Coming from another client? See vs Thunder Client, vs Postman, vs Bruno, or the full comparison matrix. Gud API imports from all of them, and you can paste a cURL command from anywhere to build a request in seconds.
