Tools for your AI Agents to operate Insomnia
Ask your AI agent "List all my Insomnia projects in organization 'org-123'" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Insomnia data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius

Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about the Insomnia (Collaborative API Design) MCP Server
Can I fetch full OpenAPI specifications through my agent?
Yes. Use the get_file tool by providing the relevant Org, Project, and File IDs. Your agent will retrieve the exact content payload, allowing you to inspect or summarize the API structure directly in your workspace.
How do I see the environments defined in a team project?
The list_environments tool allows your agent to extract base environments scoped within a project. You'll see the environment names and variable counts, helping you identify available stages for your API calls.
Can my agent check if a mock server is currently online?
Absolutely. Use the list_mocks tool to retrieve all mock servers linked to your projects. Your agent will report their current operational state, names, and hosted URLs for testing purposes.
