Stop making AI guess your API

APIMatic turns your API spec into the surfaces modern consumers need: Context Plugins for AI coding tools, MCP servers for agents, production-grade SDKs, and developer portals — all generated deterministically from one source of truth

Teams shipping APIs for developers and agents run on APIMatic.

Two ways your API gets consumed. Both start with a guess.

92% of developers use an AI coding tool every day. AI agents call APIs with no human in the loop at all. Both build on your API by asking a language model what your contract looks like. And a language model does not know. It guesses.

AI Coding Tools 

A coding agent doesn't fully know your API. It guesses the behavior your documentation leaves open, like how to page through results or which endpoints are safe to retry, so the code comes back with runtime errors.

AI Agents and Apps

An AI agent consuming your API through an MCP server has to figure out which tool to call, and when. Without descriptions and usage scenarios that spell out what each tool is for, it reaches for the wrong one.

The model won't stop guessing on its own. Give it the correct API context, and the guessing stops.

See how APIMatic's Context Plugins ground AI coding agents in an API's deterministic context.

Grounding beats guessing. We measured it.

91% fewer errors 65% fewer tokens ~2× faster integration

That's how much better coding agents perform when they have access to API Context. Read the case study →

Context makes code production-ready.

Those numbers come from one change: using a Context Plugin, the agent builds against your real API contract, not a guess at it. That's what separates code that runs from an integration that's "production-ready."

What production-ready looks like

spec-checked
  • Retry only idempotent calls
  • Map provider errors to clean statuses
  • Never leak internals in an error
  • Vet every dependency for known vulnerabilities
  • Keep credentials out of logs
  • Stay forward-compatible
  • Get currency units right

The AI layer is new. The deterministic engine underneath isn't.

Context Plugins and MCP servers are the newest outputs of an engine that's generated production SDKs and API Developer Portals for years. Same deterministic core, same OpenAPI spec, now grounding your agents too.

Idiomatic SDKs in 7+ languages: Java, Python, TypeScript, Ruby, C#, PHP, and Go. Generated from your spec, no manual work.

// Maxio's TypeScript SDK is available as a NPM package with
// support for Node.js and web environments.
import {
  Client,
  SubscriptionsController,
} from "@maxio-com/advanced-billing-sdk";
 
// Once configured, the SDK can be used to authenticated API calls.
const client = new Client({
  basicAuth: { username: "user", password: "pass" },
});
 
const subscriptions = new SubscriptionsController(client);
 
// SDK automatically handles serialization, API errors, validation,

const { result } = await subscriptions.listSubscriptions({
  page: 1,
  perPage: 20,
});
 
// Type-safe access to response data with full IntelliSense support
console.log(result[0].subscription?.state);

Catch bugs early with type-safe SDKs across languages.

// Type-safe model with nested objects and enums
const request: CreateSubscriptionRequest = {
  subscription: {
    // Enum ensures only valid states are used
    productHandle: ProductHandle.BasicPlan,
    // Nested customer object with validation
    customerAttributes: {
      name: "John Doe",
      email: "john@example.com",
    },
    // Typed values like Date prevent format errors
    initialBillingAt: new Date(),
  },
};
 
// SDK validates all types at compile-time and runtime
const { result } = await subscriptions.createSubscription(request);
 
// Response is fully typed with IntelliSense support
if (result.subscription?.state === SubscriptionState.Active) {
  console.log("Subscription activated successfully");
}

Accurately handle complex schemas like allOf, oneOf, anyOf, discriminated unions, and inheritance.

// Maxio SDK demonstrates polymorphic payment methods. On API call,
// the SDK automatically deserializes based on discriminator field.
const { result } = await paymentProfiles.readPaymentProfile(id);
const profile = result.paymentProfile;
 
// The developer can write type-safe code, thanks to SDK's support
// for polymorphic types and type-narrowing in TypeScript.
if (PaymentProfile.isBankAccountPaymentProfile(profile)) {
  // TypeScript knows this has bank account fields
  console.log(profile.maskedBankAccountNumber);
} else if (PaymentProfile.isCreditCardPaymentProfile(profile)) {
  // TypeScript knows this has credit card fields
  console.log(profile.maskedCardNumber);
} else if (PaymentProfile.isPaypalPaymentProfile(profile)) {
  // TypeScript knows this has PayPal fields
  console.log(profile.paypalEmail);
} else if (PaymentProfile.isApplePayPaymentProfile(profile)) {
  // TypeScript knows this has Apple account fields
  console.log(profile.firstName);
} else {
  // profile is narrowed down to the type 'never'.
}

OAuth, API keys, and other auth flows integrate directly into SDKs.

// Authentication configured once - SDK handles token refresh automatically
const client = new Client({
  clientCredentials: {
    oAuthClientId: "your_client_id",
    oAuthClientSecret: "your_client_secret",
    oAuthTokenProvider: (lastOAuthToken, authManager) => {
      // Restore token from your DB or fetch for the first time.
      return loadTokenFromDatabase() ?? authManager.fetchToken();
    },
    oAuthOnTokenUpdate: (token: OAuthToken) => {
      // Persist the token on refresh.
      saveTokenToDatabase(token);
    },
  },
});
 
// SDK automatically applies authentication to all requests
// No need to manually handle tokens or headers
const { result } = await orders.createOrder(orderRequest);
 
console.log("Order created:", result.id);

Support JSON, XML, multipart/form, and binary data automatically.

// Request prepared using plain-old JavaScript object and types
const request: CreateInvoiceRequest = {
  invoice: {
    lineItems: [{ title: "Consulting", quantity: 10, unitPrice: "150.00" }],
  },
};
 
// SDK handles JSON serialization transparently for JSON APIs
const { result: invoice } = await invoices.createInvoice(request);
 
// Next, we upload a file loaded as a Node.js stream
const readStream = createReadStream("./resources/invoice.pdf");
const invoiceFile = new FileWrapper(readStream);
 
// SDK handles multipart form data automatically for file upload APIs
const uploadResult = await invoices.uploadInvoiceDocument(
  invoice.uid,
  invoiceFile
);
 
console.log("File uploaded:", uploadResult.success);

Retries, timeouts, and error handling built into every SDK.

const client = new Client({
  // Configure automatic retries for failed requests
  retryConfiguration: {
    retryOnTimeout: true,
    maxNumberOfRetries: 3,
    retryInterval: 1,
    backoffFactor: 2,
  },
});
 
try {
  // SDK automatically retries failed requests when there is network
  // failure, server error (5XX), rate limiting (429) or timeout (408).
  const { result } = await orders.getOrder("ORDER_ID");
  console.log("Order retrieved:", result.status);
} catch (error) {
  // SDK supports structured error handling for API errors
  if (error instanceof ApiError) {
    console.error("API Error:", error.statusCode);
  }
}

Iterate over long data lists using native language iterators and async-await.

// SDK makes pagination effortless with built-in iteration.
const paginatedUserList = users.listAll({
  page: 1,
  perPage: 50,
});
 
// Simple pagination - iterate through all items
for await (const user of paginatedUserList) {
  console.log("Process user:", user.name);
}
 
// Alternative: Process page-by-page
for await (const page of paginatedUserList.pages) {
  for (const user of page.items) {
    console.log("Process user:", item.name);
  }
 
  // Access pagination metadata
  console.log("Current page:" + page.pageNumber);
  console.log("Response headers", page.headers);
}

Questions teams ask before they choose APIMatic

On its own, an assistant guesses the parts your docs and OpenAPI spec don't spell out explicitly, like which endpoints are safe to retry. So the agent has to do 2 jobs, first it has to guess API behaviour, and second, it has to translate that inferred behaviour into a language-specific implementation. In doing so, an agent tends to make mistakes or write code that is far from production-ready. Context Plugins can feed an agent deterministic, spec-derived context covering details that are not part of an API Spec, so it stops guessing and writes code that runs against your real API.

APIMatic is a complete developer and agent experience platform; OpenAPI Generator is a code generation tool. From one OpenAPI spec, APIMatic generates SDKs, code samples, an API developer portal, Context Plugins, and MCP servers, so your API is ready for both developers and AI agents. OpenAPI Generator stops at SDKs. And on SDKs themselves, APIMatic is the stronger choice: OpenAPI Generator's per-language generators are community-maintained, so quality varies from one language to the next, while APIMatic generates every language from the same engine, giving you consistent, idiomatic SDKs across your entire language set.

APIMatic works with Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, plus agents that consume MCP servers. Its Context Plugins ground them in your real API context.

Point APIMatic at your OpenAPI spec and add the generated Context Plugin to your AI coding tool. The assistant then writes integrations from your API's real contract, not from stale public training data.

APIMatic provides an OpenAPI-to-MCP server generator: point it at your OpenAPI specs and it produces an MCP server. When your spec changes, the MCP server regenerates automatically. APIMatic also provides a validation ruleset that evaluates if your API spec is ready for AI tool generation.

One source of truth your developers and their AI agents can both trust

One spec in. A portal, SDKs, docs, code samples, Context Plugins, and MCP servers out, all in sync, all regenerated on every change.
