🚀 AI Meets APIs: Make Your REST APIs Truly Accessible to AI Assistants! 🤖🌐
In the AI era, having a REST API isn’t enough, your API needs to be discoverable and usable by intelligent assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. But how do you bridge the gap between AI reasoning and traditional API interfaces?
Model Context Protocols (MCPs) are rapidly emerging as the solution.
With MCPs, you can:
✔️ Define your API as a set of actionable tools
✔️ Provide structured context for AI models to understand endpoints
✔️ Enable AI assistants to make real API calls based on user intent
✔️ Boost automation, discoverability, and real-world integrations
This step-by-step guide walks you through everything: from crafting OpenAPI specs and MCP manifests to testing your API with actual AI assistants. Whether you’re building public APIs or internal services, this approach prepares your API for the AI-powered future.
