What is 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.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

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

◆ 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.

5.0

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
