ReqPad is the API client that Postman should have built for mobile. Test REST, WebSocket, GraphQL, gRPC, MQTT, Socket.IO and MCP — with built-in AI — all from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No laptop. No desktop app. No compromises. — WHY DEVELOPERS SWITCH TO REQPAD: You're on the train and staging is down. You're in a meeting and someone asks "is that endpoint returning the right schema?" You're in bed at midnight and a webhook isn't firing. With ReqPad, the answer is always the same: open your phone, test it, fix it, move on. — 7 PROTOCOLS, ONE APP: Most mobile API tools only handle REST. ReqPad handles seven: • REST/HTTP — every method with full header, body, and auth control, plus Server-Sent Events streamed live; Send as a Browser for sites that only answer browsers • WebSocket — Real-time bidirectional messaging with live connection status • GraphQL — Query editor with syntax highlighting, variables, and subscription support • gRPC — Server reflection and .proto file support • MQTT — Connect to IoT brokers with QoS levels and topic subscriptions • Socket.IO — Test event-driven real-time communication • MCP — Connect to Model Context Protocol servers: call tools, read resources, run prompts ReqPad is the only mobile API client with gRPC and Socket.IO support. — REQPAD AI — AN API EXPERT ON EVERY SCREEN: • Explain any failure — a 4xx, a GraphQL error, a refused WebSocket or a gRPC status — with the cause and a one-tap fix • Describe a request in plain words — ReqPad AI fills in the method, URL, headers and body • Write messages and queries — GraphQL from your schema, WebSocket, Socket.IO and MQTT messages, gRPC messages from the proto, MCP tool arguments • Write tests for the response you just got • Ask the JSON a question — get a JSONPath filter You see exactly what is sent before it is sent, and secrets are removed on your device first. — SCRIPTS & AUTOMATION: • Pre-request and test scripts with the Postman-compatible pm.* API • Collection Runner — run whole collections with CSV/JSON data files and a report • OAuth 2.0 flows with automatic token refresh • Secret variables kept in secure storage • JSON tree view with JSONPath filtering — ENTERPRISE AUTHENTICATION BUILT IN: Don't hack together auth headers manually.
