Lucidra - API traffic, tests and Git in one local-first workspace
by•
Lucidra is a local-first API engineering workspace for Linux, macOS and Windows. Build and send HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, Socket.IO, gRPC and SSE requests. Receive webhooks, tunnel public traffic to localhost and inspect email. Trace HTTP/HTTPS, match captures to saved requests and review differences. Turn real flows into suites, async scenarios and regressions; add mocks, contracts, Docs, visual Git and permissioned MCP for AI agents. Personal workspaces are free and need no account.

I built Lucidra because a successful API response often did not mean the integration worked. The failure might appear later in a webhook, retry, captured exchange, contract or code change, and I was tracing that story across separate tools. Lucidra keeps Requests, Receive (Capture, Tunnel and Email), HTTP/HTTPS Trace, suites, async scenarios, regressions, mocks, contracts, Docs, visual Git and permissioned MCP in one local-first workspace. Personal workspaces are free and require no account, with installers for Linux, macOS and Windows. This is my first product and an early beta. I would value candid feedback: does connecting observed traffic, saved definitions, test evidence and source changes reduce context switching? Which workflow would you keep, and what would you remove?
