mcp-insomnia

mcp-insomnia is an MCP server. Its repository has 26 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-10-22.

This software creates and manages Insomnia-compatible API collections, requests, and environments for an MCP server.

MCP servers are packaged differently from each other -- some run via npx, some as a Docker image, some as a plain script you clone and run. mcp-insomnia’s own README did not state one plainly enough for this page to quote it rather than guess, so it will not guess. The repository below states it.
