Drive the Beacon API workbench (github.com/nannndev/beacon) from an agent to discover, create, import, send, chain, load-test, and document API or web endpoints. Supports Beacon/Postman/OpenAPI/Swagger/Insomnia/HAR imports, response assertions/extractors, capturing live responses as documented examples, and authorized rate-limit testing. Prefer the Beacon MCP server; fall back to REST.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Driving Beacon
Beacon defines API endpoints (URL, method, headers, payload with `{{variable}}`
templating) and fires them repeatedly / concurrently to watch `attempts`,
`success`, `rate_limited`, `errors`, and latency. Use it only for **authorized**
testing.
## Prefer the MCP server
If the Beacon MCP server is connected, use its tools directly — they reuse the
engine and the same `tests.json` store:
**Inspect**
- `list_projects`, `list_endpoints`, `get_config` — quick overview. Use
`list_endpoints` only when the project is known to be small.
- `search_endpoints(query?, offset?, limit?)` — preferred discovery for larger
projects. It returns compact results plus `total` and `has_more`; paginate
instead of filling the context window with every endpoint.
- `get_endpoint(name_or_id)` — inspect one editable definition plus preflight:
resolved URL, missing variables, and `ready`. Sensitive literal auth/cookie/
API-key headers are redacted; `{{variable}}` references remain visible.
- `get_tree()` — full folder/endpoint tree with **ids** and nesting. Call this
to discover `folder_id`s for `create_endpoint`/`move_item`.
**Create**

How to install
mdr add nannndev/beacon/beacon-api-workbench@sha256:1a44eba2de57f7f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.6ac2791, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
