Archal

Archal provides stateful API sandboxes for testing AI agents and integrations. Each sandbox contains one or more simulated API environments, such as GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Supabase, Linear, and others. Environments expose familiar REST and, for many services, MCP interfaces, retain mutations across calls, and can be reset to a declared baseline state. This lets developers exercise agent workflows without test accounts, rate limits, or shared dirty state. The product is aimed at agent developers, connector teams, and integration engineers. A typical flow is to create a sandbox with selected environments, receive isolated endpoints once ready, call the APIs or tools as usual, inspect requests/responses/mutations/timing, and reset the sandbox to its starting state. Archal states that each environment is an independently built simulation of the service, not the provider's live service. Use cases include harness testing, CI integration testing, and agent training or reinforcement learning rollouts, where every run needs the same starting state while changes persist through the episode. Archal is hosted and offers sign-up with usage credits; setup can be performed through supported coding agents and the Archal CLI.

Problem solved

AI agent and integration tests often rely on shared test accounts, live APIs with rate limits, and state that becomes dirty between runs. Archal solves this by providing isolated, stateful sandboxes with simulated API environments that persist changes during a run and reset to a known baseline, making agent behavior repeatable and integration tests more deterministic.

Use cases

Harness testing AI agent tool calls against isolated sandboxes
CI integration testing for branches and jobs without shared test accounts
Agent training and reinforcement learning rollouts with repeatable starting state
Testing GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Supabase, Linear, and other API integrations
Exercising REST and MCP connections in agent frameworks
Inspecting request/response mutations and timing for debugging agent integrations
Resetting environments to a declared baseline between test runs

Audience

Developers
ML Engineers
Enterprise
Startups

Pros

Provides isolated, stateful API sandboxes that persist changes and reset to baseline
Supports popular services including GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Supabase, Linear, and more
Exposes REST and, for many environments, MCP endpoints for agent tool testing
Eliminates shared test accounts and live API rate limits during tests
Includes usage credits and setup through coding agents/CLI

Cons

Pricing is not publicly listed on the homepage
Hosted-only model; no self-hosted option described
Environments are simulations and may not cover every provider edge case
MCP support is not available for every environment (some are REST-only)
Catalog coverage depends on the supported environment list
