Reqly is a local MCP server for API testing. Install it once, connect your AI agent in Cursor or Claude Code, and your agent gets a full toolkit to build, run, and ship API tests - no UI required, no manual wiring.
The full zero-human pipeline
"Read my routes and build a collection" - agent creates every endpoint automatically
"Write an e2e flow for login to checkout" - agent builds the flow, runs it, assertions pass
