It never gates access to your own data.\n- If a license lapses, Pro features stop. Everything else keeps working.\n\n## Highlights\n\n- Full request builder with a Postman-style editor: auto-growing key/value rows, header autocomplete, color-coded JSON editing with format and validation\n- Auto headers surfaced, so you see and control everything sent on the wire\n- Syntax-highlighted responses (JSON and XML), HTML raw/preview toggle, resizable request/response split\n- Per-collection variables with `{{VAR}}` placeholders; secret values live in your OS keychain, never in files\n- Unlimited local history with one-click re-send\n- Import Postman v2.1, Thunder Client, OpenAPI 3.x, and curl; export Postman and curl\n- Assertions per request with pass/fail on every send\n- A bundled MCP server, registered with VS Code agent mode automatically, so AI agents can list, run, and (with Pro) create requests\n\n## For AI agents (MCP)\n\nThe MCP server also ships standalone on npm as [mailpal-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mailpal-mcp):\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add mailpal -- npx -y mailpal-mcp\n```\n\nWorks with any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, and friends) via `npx -y mailpal-mcp`.\n\n## Support\n\nQuestions, bugs, and feature requests: [open an issue](https://github.com/michaelyousrie/mailpal/issues).\n\nThis repository hosts the project's public home, issues, and media. The extension itself ships through the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MichaelYousrie.mailpal).\n",
