HTTP Tanker
by PierreKieffer
Lightweight terminal HTTP client for API testing with built-in MCP server for AI assistant integration.
What it does
HTTP Tanker is a terminal-based HTTP client that allows developers to create, manage, and execute HTTP requests directly from the command line. It bridges the gap between a traditional CLI tool and an AI assistant by providing an MCP server interface, enabling LLMs to perform real-time API testing and request management.
Tools
execute_request: Run a configured HTTP request and return the response.manage_requests: Save, list, or delete HTTP request templates for reuse.create_request: Set up a new HTTP request with custom headers, methods, and body.
