Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Updating a Deprecated Endpoint

Instead of manually editing the blueprint, ask your agent to fetch the current API, modify the endpoint definition, and publish the update in one go.

02

Onboarding a New Team Member

Use the team capabilities to list all members and then check which APIs that new user has access to, ensuring proper permissions from day one.

03

Pre-Release Documentation Check

Before a major release, run tests against the latest blueprint and retrieve the documentation URLs to ensure everything is validated and ready for consumers.

04

Discovering Team Assets

Need to know what APIs the 'billing-team' owns? List the team first, then list all associated APIs to get a complete inventory.

Automate a task

Put Apiary to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Apiary works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Apiary to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Apiary, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Apiary. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Apiary owners hand off.

If you work with APIs, this MCP is for you. It lets you manage the entire API development and documentation cycle without leaving your chat window. You'll spend less time context-switching and more time validating and publishing code.

  • 01

    Backend Engineer

    Ask your agent to fetch the current blueprint, write new endpoint specifications, and publish them back automatically.

  • 02

    Technical Writer

    Easily review and fix API documentation formatting, then submit those changes directly to the remote server.

  • 03

    Engineering Manager

    List all active APIs under your team, oversee member permissions, and check the current testing status.

FAQ

Questions Apiary owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP work with my existing APIs?

    Yes. This MCP is designed to manage your existing API design and specification processes within the Apiary platform. You use it to read, validate, and update blueprints for APIs already in your workspace.

  • 02

    What is the difference between listing APIs and listing team APIs?

    Listing all APIs shows every project in your entire workspace. Listing team APIs limits the scope, showing only the projects that belong to a specific team you are interested in.

  • 03

    Can I use this to write documentation?

    You can use the MCP to publish documentation. After you provide the new markdown code, the MCP publishes it, and Apiary automatically refreshes the mock server and the public documentation URL.

  • 04

    Is this just a directory of APIs?

    No, it's a fully functional connector. Vinkius hosts and manages this MCP, allowing your AI client to actively run tests, retrieve blueprints, and manage team data, not just list it.

  • 05

    What if I need to check user permissions?

    You can use the team capabilities. You can list all team members and check the details of a specific team to understand the current user roles and permissions.

  • 06

    Can the agent fetch the exact mock server endpoints for one of my APIs?

    Yes. You can use the get_doc_url capability to retrieve both the public facing documentation url and the private mock server endpoint string. Your agent can immediately use this url to simulate requests internally using other modules or tests.

  • 07

    Am I able to update the Blueprint markup completely through the agent?

    Absolutely. Instruct your AI agent to fetch the blueprint with get_api. Once read into context, prompt the agent to make your desired changes (e.g. 'Add a new POST route for user creation'). Then, instruct it to use publish_blueprint to upload the newly revised markdown.

  • 08

    How does the team feature list function mapping work?

    Apiary enables collaboration. Utilizing list_teams, the agent finds the slugs of your organizations. Then, using list_team_apis, it fetches all collaborative APIs available for that precise team. This hierarchy avoids hallucinating random endpoint repositories.
