      Insomnia is an open-source, cross-platform API development platform by
      Kong for designing, debugging, and testing HTTP, REST, GraphQL, gRPC,
      SOAP, WebSockets, SSE, and Socket.IO APIs. It includes an Inso CLI for
      CI/CD integration, cloud-hosted and self-hosted mock servers, OpenAPI
      spec design tools, and collaborative features with cloud sync, local
      vault, and Git storage options.

      The Insomnia Mock Server API allows developers to create, manage, and
      interact with mock servers powered by Insomnia (Kong). Mock servers
      simulate API endpoints by returning predefined responses based on
      OpenAPI specifications or custom route configurations, enabling teams
      to develop and test against realistic API behavior before the actual
      implementation is complete.
