A local-first, account-free Postman alternative with a built-in MCP server. --- Download Get the latest macOS and Windows builds from the releases page , or visit the website. Builds are not yet code-signed, so on macOS right-click the app and choose Open the first time. --- Tiger is an open source API client where every request is a plain .tiger text file on disk. Commit your collections, branch them, and review API changes in pull requests the same way you review code. No account required. No cloud sync. No lock-in. On top of the git-friendly storage model, Tiger adds a glass UI with light and dark themes, a full importer suite, an MCP server so AI assistants (Claude, Cursor) can run requests directly, and a request chaining system to capture response values into variables for the next call.
