API Design Prover: Stop AI from creating broken REST API contracts
This Connector changes the workflow by moving the quality check to the beginning. Instead of fixing code, you're validating a blueprint. By running your design through the prover first, you ensure the agent follows strict rules for pagination, error codes, and consistency. You get a production-ready plan that actually works with your frontend.
What Vinkius changes
You get a bulletproof API contract before you ever start coding.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Where the request belongs
Work API Design Prover can move forward.
Backend engineers who are tired of refactoring broken APIs and technical leads who need to ensure AI-generated designs meet production standards.
Backend Engineer
Validates complex endpoints on Tuesday afternoons to ensure they won't break the mobile app.
API Architect
Audits AI-generated documentation to make sure it follows the company's standard error protocols.
Product Manager
Checks that the API design supports the required pagination and versioning for upcoming features.

Each Connector adds new actions and data without changing how you work.
Browse ConnectorsPostman
Design, test, and document APIs collaboratively with the world most popular API development platform used by millions of developers.
HTTP Endpoint Collision Detector
Detect overlapping or conflicting HTTP route definitions in your codebase.
Technical Writing Prover
An AI wrote API documentation for 'developers.' No expertise level. No prerequisites. A wall of text with no headings. Code examples that referenced a deprecated method. untested. Passive voice throughout: 'it is recommended that the configuration be updated.' A junior engineer followed the docs, deployed to production with the wrong config, and caused a 4-hour outage. This capability forces audience definition, task-based structure, tested examples, ambiguity elimination, and completeness verification.
Apiary
Manage your API design-first workflows via Apiary. read blueprints, publish docs, and run tests directly from your AI agent.
SwaggerHub
Connect your AI to SwaggerHub. Read OpenAPI specifications, explore domains, and manage your API design lifecycle natively from the terminal.
Levo.ai (API Security & Observability)
Secure your APIs via Levo.ai. audit endpoints, monitor sensitive data (PII/PHI), and manage OWASP vulnerabilities.

Before you connect
Questions about API Design Prover.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
What does the API Design Prover actually do?
It acts as a quality control gate for your API designs. It checks your routes against industry standards for verbs, versioning, and error handling before you write any code.
Can this help me make my API more like Stripe's?
Yes. It forces the AI to follow high-level patterns like consistent response envelopes and RFC 7807 error structures, which are hallmarks of top-tier APIs.
Does this capability write the actual code for my endpoints?
No, it validates the design blueprint. Once the design is proven correct, you can have your AI agent generate the implementation code.
How does this help with mobile app crashes?
It prevents crashes by forcing the AI to include bounded pagination on all list endpoints, ensuring your app never tries to load 10,000 rows at once.
What is an RFC 7807 error contract?
It is a standard way to return errors as machine-readable JSON. It helps your frontend show specific messages instead of just a generic 500 error.
Will this capability help me with API versioning?
Yes. It forces the AI to define a clear versioning strategy and a deprecation timeline so you don't accidentally break existing clients.
Why does API Design Prover require RFC 7807?
RFC 7807 (Problem Details) is the industry standard for HTTP API error shapes. It ensures that regardless of the endpoint or technology, client developers receive errors they can easily parse and handle.
What versioning methods are supported?
Path versioning (e.g., /v1/users), media type/header versioning, or query parameters. Path versioning is highly recommended due to its simple implementation and client compatibility.
Does it enforce GraphQL standards?
This capability is focused on REST APIs and HTTP resource design. For GraphQL or gRPC, you can adapt the pivots, but out-of-the-box checks validate HTTP status, HTTP verbs, and REST envelope consistency.
