Apidog

Apidog is an all-in-one API development platform that connects the entire API lifecycle: visual API design, multi-protocol debugging (HTTP, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, SOAP, SSE), automated testing with a CLI, smart mocking, and published interactive documentation - all in a single collaborative workspace. As of 2026 Apidog also ships native MCP support: an apidog-mcp-server that feeds API specs to AI coding assistants (Cursor, VS Code + Cline) and an MCP Client inside the desktop app that visually debugs MCP servers over STDIO and Streamable HTTP with auto OAuth 2.0 configuration.

Apidog publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Import And Export API. Tagged areas include AI Coding, API Design, API Lifecycle, API Testing, and Collaboration.

The Apidog catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Apidog’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, release notes, support, and 28 more developer resources.
