# Axon

> Axon is a local-first desktop API client for macOS, Windows and Linux. It sends and debugs HTTP/REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO, SOAP, SSE, MQTT and MCP requests from one window. Collections, history and secrets stay on the user's device; teams sync peer-to-peer over LAN or VPN instead of a cloud workspace. No account is required.

Key facts:

- Platforms: macOS, Windows, Linux (native app built with Rust and Tauri 2)
- Protocols: HTTP/REST, GraphQL (queries, mutations, subscriptions), gRPC (unary, streaming, server reflection, TLS), WebSocket, Socket.IO, SOAP (WSDL), Server-Sent Events, MQTT, MCP (STDIO and HTTP)
- Auth: Basic, Bearer, API key, JWT (HS*), OAuth 2.0, Digest, AWS Signature v4, inherited from parent folder
- Testing: pre-request and post-response JavaScript scripts, assertion tests, schema validation
- Automation: collection runner (iterations, CSV/JSON data files, parallelism) and the `axon` CLI with HTML, JUnit XML, JSON, Markdown and SARIF reports
- Built in: local mock servers, scheduled monitors with alerts, webhooks, console, terminal, full-text search, command palette (Cmd+K)
- AI assistant: drafts requests, scripts and tests via the Claude Code CLI or a local Ollama model; no API key stored in Axon; data is sent only when the user sends a message
- Import: Postman, Insomnia, Bruno, OpenAPI, HAR, curl. Export: Axon JSON/YAML, Markdown and HTML docs
- Privacy: no account, no analytics, no crash reporter; on its own Axon only checks GitHub for updates at launch (can be disabled) and, with a paid license, revalidates the key daily
- Pricing: free for teams of up to 3 members; $10/month flat for 4–8 members; $30/month flat for 9–15 members; Enterprise for 16+ (see pricing.md)
