Open-source API development and testing platform

hoppscotch.io ↗

Hoppscotch merges REST and GraphQL into one workspace and ships an MCP server.

api-clientgraphqlmcptest-automationself-hosteddeveloper-tools
◆Current state
Hoppscotch is an open-source API client that has spent 2026 splitting attention between the hosted app, a self-hosted enterprise build and a desktop agent. Until this release, REST and GraphQL requests lived in separate workspaces with separate collections and environments. 2026.8.0 removes that split and adds collection runs driven by CSV or JSON data files, moving the product from a request sender toward a test runner.
◆Where it's heading
The preceding releases were consolidation: cookie persistence, OAuth2 ID tokens, OpenAPI 3.1 export, non-root container UIDs for self-hosted deployments, and a fix for collections losing content. This is the first release in months that changes the shape of the workspace rather than patching around it. Pairing a unified workspace with dataset-driven runs and an MCP server points at Hoppscotch wanting to be where API tests are authored and executed, including by agents.
◆Prediction
Expect the MCP server to get documentation and an explicit permission model in the next release, since it arrives here as a single announcement line with no description of what it exposes.

    REST and GraphQL collapse into one workspace; MCP server debuts

    ⚡ SPARK

    The unified REST-GraphQL workspace ends the split that has shaped Hoppscotch's collection model since the GraphQL client was added, and dataset-driven runs turn saved collections into parameterised suites. Against a year of patch-level consolidation, this is the release that changes what the workspace is.

    Collection data-loss fixed; empty env vars fall back to initial values

    A data-integrity release: collections could lose content, and empty environment variables now fall back to their initial values. Fixes of this kind had to land before a merged collection tree could be trusted in 2026.8.0.

    Self-hosted-only patch: non-root container UIDs, Desktop login loop fixed

    Self-hosted-only patch work covering non-root container UIDs and a Desktop login loop. Deployment-shaped fixes like these are what keep the enterprise build in step with the cloud app.

    Desktop cookie persistence and OAuth2 ID token support

    Desktop cookie persistence and OAuth2 ID token support closed two gaps that pushed users back to the browser app. Auth and session handling have been the recurring theme of the desktop agent's development.

    OpenAPI 3.1 collection export and admin-configurable proxy URLs

    OpenAPI 3.1 export and admin-configurable proxy URLs — interoperability and deployment control rather than new surface. Export fidelity matters for a client whose users routinely move collections between tools.
