In plain words

Elva automatically discovers and catalyzes APIs within code repositories, evaluates them for design and security quality, and manages access through audience-specific contracts. It exposes discovered APIs to developers and AI agents via hosted MCP servers, documentation, and SDKs without requiring OpenAPI specifications. The platform includes cataloging, governance, testing, and change detection features that alert teams when code drifts from established API contracts.

From the sources

Elva reads your repos to find every API you have, scores them, governs access with per-audience contracts, and exposes them to developers and AI agents through hosted MCP servers, docs, and SDKs. No OpenAPI spec required.

Elva discovers every API in your code, governs what each audience can access, and exposes it to developers and AI agents. Catalog, contracts, testing, and hosted MCP servers in one pipeline. No spec required. Every endpoint scored on design, security, and AI readiness. One-click AI fixes. Test the traditional way too. Pick the audience, the endpoints, the fields they get, and where it ships. Elva then diffs every commit against that promise and tells you the moment the source drifts away from it. Generate an MCP server from any API. Hosted, authed through Elva's MCP gateway, fully logged. Not weekend demos. Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. The contract decides which tools each audience…from getelva.ai

  • Agents.json – OpenAPI Specification for LLMs2025 · github.com · ▲212

    Hey HN, we’re building an open specification that lets agents discover and invoke APIs with natural language, built on the OpenAPI standard. agents.json clearly defines the contract between LLMs and API as a standard that's open, observable, and replicable. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://youtu.be/kby2Wdt2Dtk?si=59xGCDy48Zzwr7ND. There’s 2 parts to this: 1. An agents.json file describes how to link API calls together into outcome-based tools for LLMs. This file sits alongside an OpenAPI file. 2. The agents.json SDK loads agents.json files as tools for an LLM that…

  • Klavis AI – Open-source MCP integration for AI applications2025 · github.com · ▲79

    Hi HN, we are excited to show you Klavis AI. It is an open source project and we provide hosted versions with API access as well. (Website: https://www.klavis.ai/, Github repo: https://github.com/Klavis-AI/klavis) We're addressing a couple of key problems with using MCPs. First, many available MCP servers lack native or used-based authentications, creating security vulnerabilities and adding complexity during development. Second, many MCP servers are personal projects, not designed for the reliability needed in production. Connecting to these servers…
