What is the Rest MCP Server?

Rest API tester

What it actually does

  1. Create a test cases file named __scenarios__/test_something.json json { "create_something": { "url": "/something", "method": "POST", "status": 200, "request": { "name": "something" }, "response": { "id": 1, "name": "something" } } }

rest-api-tester makes it easy to create REST API tests for your APIs. Though this tool is written in Python, your APIs need not be. This library provides a consistent way to write API tests and perform the necessary validation. It is primarily built to handle traditional, JSON-based APIs, although it has the ability to handle other API formats. Also... rest-api-tester can auto-update your scenario files for you when tests fail!
