RESTk
An API debugging client for the Mac platform with a built-in private MCP Server, exposing more than forty API debugging capabilities as tools that MCP-compatible AI assistants can call directly. It emphasizes a zero-sharing design and credential redaction.
Timeline (last 90 days)
RESTk runs a private MCP Server on Mac, letting AI assistants that support the MCP protocol (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) directly access more than 40 capabilities of its API client.
In RESTk, unless the user actively enables 'Share with AI', no collection is exposed to AI, and sharing must be done collection by collection.
When RESTk exposes requests to AI, it replaces real keys with synthetic data of the same structure but no actual value (credential desensitization/data masking), so that AI cannot see the real keys.
In RESTk's official demo, Claude went through 10 folders and inspected 43 requests, discovering that a request named 'get' actually sent the PUT method and carried a Basic Auth authentication header that should not have been there.
RESTk requires human approval for every AI operation by default; users can enable auto-approve, but three high-risk actions—delete operations, raw HTTP calls, and preset runs—still require mandatory human confirmation.
RESTk stores everything as plain files, and every change made by AI lands in Git, where it can be reviewed, committed, and pushed.
RESTk's AI assistant can score APIs on Agent readiness across 7 dimensions, perform security audits, and supports importing collections from Postman or OpenAPI.
AI assistants that support MCP sampling can directly have AI explain errors or generate test cases in RESTk's response viewer.
When RESTk generates API documentation, it performs secret-leak detection and endpoint-existence verification on each draft, and includes structured guidance for other AI Agents (when to use, preconditions, next steps, when not to use).
RESTk's security model includes: the Server runs only locally, collections are not shared by default, after sharing real values are replaced with synthetic data, changes require approval, and the AI audit tab records what AI saw.
