Postman

You can send requests, organize collections, write tests, run mock servers and monitor endpoints across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets and MCP. Version 12 added native Git workflows and local mocks. The downsides are a heavy desktop app, a free plan now limited to one person, and a strong pull toward storing your work in Postman's cloud.
