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