Thanks @Khaled865412521 for spreading the word! ⚡
Your API already lives in your code. Why rebuild it by hand?
MCP Server v2 lets your agent create and test every request and collection for you.
Which AI tool are you using? 👇
#ThunderClient #MCP
Thunder Client shipped MCP Server v2 — your coding agent can now own API collections end-to-end.
□ Generate a collection from Express routes or an OpenAPI file
□ Create/edit requests (including from a curl paste)
□ Add status/latency/body tests
□ Run a folder, read the real failure, patch request or code
□ Export HTML/JSON/XML/NUnit/CSV reports
12 tools. Local only. No API keys, tokens, or OAuth.
Try tonight:
claude mcp add thunderclient -- npx -y thunderclient-mcp
# or: codex mcp add thunderclient -- npx -y thunderclient-mcp
# Cursor/Copilot: MCP config → npx -y thunderclient-mcp
Needs Node 22+ and the latest Thunder Client extension (CLI installs with the MCP server).
Caution: the assistant sees response bodies it runs — skip requests with secrets you don't want in chat.

Built my first Backend Auth API,
Tested with Thunder Client
API request flow finally makes sense:
Client → Route → Middleware →Controller → Service → Model → DB → Response

Day 37/100 💻🔥
First time using a database!
Connected my Flask app with SQLite, stored user signup data, and tested the API using Thunder Client ⚡
Feels like a real backend now 🚀

Thunder Client for VS Code has been gaining traction recently. It's lightweight, integrated directly into the editor, and supports collections similar to Postman. For API-first development, Hoppscotch (formerly Postwoman) is also worth checking out - it's open-source and browser-based. That said, Postman's collaboration features and ecosystem are still hard to beat for team workflows.

POV: You’re still manually testing APIs in 2026.

Most devs still don’t know this.
