ReadyAPI
By SmartBear. Category: API testing with AI. Homepage
SmartBear's documentation describes ReadyAPI as an API testing application installed locally on Windows, macOS or Linux. Tests can be generated with SmartBear AI from prompts and run inside ReadyAPI. AI generation requires a SmartBear cloud licence and network access to SmartBear services. Integrations cover Jenkins, Azure DevOps, TeamCity, Maven and Docker. A ReadyAPI MCP Server plugin runs a local MCP server for Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, covering spec import, test generation, test runs and the diagnosis and healing of failing steps.
