AI Engineer
Tests that write themselves.
Generate, run and explain. Bring your own model, or stay fully offline.
Mock servers
Mock it before it exists.
One click from any collection to a local fake API with a live request log.
Request workbench
REST, GraphQL and WebSocket. One fast app.
Environments, every common auth type, JSONPath, scripts and a collection runner.
MCP server
Let your agents in.
Claude, Cursor and any MCP agent can work with your live workspace. Local, behind a token.

Diff status, timing, headers and body against any run.
Schema-aware GraphQL
Introspection, autocomplete and validation, operation selection and a data / errors view.
Deep response inspection
JSON tree, JSONPath, find-in-body, image / PDF / media previews and a hex view.
Collections & environments
Folders with inherited auth, history, tabs and {{variables}} per environment.
Scripts, tests & runner
Pre-request scripts, assertions and a collection runner with readable reports.
Import & export
Postman, OpenAPI and cURL in. Postman, OpenAPI, cURL and Markdown / HTML docs out.
AI where you want it
Generate requests from plain English, explain responses, fix failures. Your key or local Ollama.
Private by design
Plain JSON files on your disk. API keys live in the operating system's secure storage.
Built-in diagnostics
Searchable logs and local bug reports with automatic credential redaction.
How it works
Built for how APIs
are really made.
Shurikly starts from your source code and your specs, not from a blank request.
New in 1.0
Your repo becomes a collection
Point Shurikly at a project folder. It finds the routes in your backend and the calls in your frontend, then builds a ready-to-send collection.
- Express, Fastify, NestJS, Next.js (app & pages router), FastAPI, Flask, Django / DRF and OpenAPI files
- Frontend calls from fetch, axios, ky, ofetch, SWR, RTK Query, Angular and generated SDKs
- Request bodies inferred from zod, joi, yup, TypeBox and JSON Schema validators
- Re-scan merges changes without losing your edits; export the result as OpenAPI
Detected Express · Next.js (app router) Routes 42 backend · 31 frontend calls Linked 29 calls → routes Auth Bearer (middleware: requireUser) ✓ Collection "store-api" created — 42 requests ✓ Environment "local" — baseUrl = http://localhost:3000

Questions, answered.
Is Shurikly really free?
Yes. It is MIT-licensed open source with no paid tier, no seat limits and no account. If you use a hosted AI provider, you pay that provider directly with your own key — or use Ollama for free, fully local AI.
Does any of my data leave my computer?
Only the requests you send, to the servers you send them to. Collections, environments, history and settings are JSON files in your app data folder. AI features only send API data to a provider when you turn that on, and secrets are redacted first.
Can I import my Postman collections?
Yes. Import Postman collections or paste cURL commands. You can also export back to Postman, OpenAPI, cURL, or Markdown / HTML documentation.
Which operating systems are supported?
macOS 12 (Monterey) or later on Apple silicon and Intel, Windows 10 and 11 (x64), and Linux via AppImage.
Why does macOS say the app can't be checked?
Version 1.0.0 builds are not yet notarized by Apple. Right-click Shurikly in Applications and choose Open once; after that it opens normally. You can also build it yourself from source.
Which languages does Code Scanner understand?
JavaScript and TypeScript (Express, Fastify, NestJS, Next.js and common frontend HTTP libraries), Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django / DRF) and OpenAPI / Swagger files. More frameworks are on the roadmap.
