I want our APIs to meet agents where they already are by exposing a Model Context Protocol server that turns our operations into tools an agent can pick up and use without a custom integration for every framework. Rather than asking each consumer to hand-roll their own wrapper, we provide clear tool definitions and an MCP endpoint so the capability is discoverable and callable out of the box. This matters to the business because it collapses the integration cost for anyone building with agents, which is where a lot of new demand is coming from, and it keeps us in the flow of automated work instead of on the sidelines. It matters to the humans building on us too, because a good MCP surface with agent-scoped authentication means they get safe, ready-to-use tools instead of a pile of raw endpoints to interpret.
APIs Expose an MCP Server
Policies
MCP Server Provided
I require that an API of consequence exposes a Model Context Protocol server so that agents can discover its capabilities and invoke them through a standard, well-understood interface rather than a...
Tool Definitions Provided
I require that APIs publish explicit tool definitions that describe each callable capability as a discrete tool an agent can select, with clear names, descriptions, and typed inputs and outputs. Th...
Agent-Scoped Authentication
I require that APIs support authentication credentials scoped specifically to agents, so that an autonomous consumer acts under its own narrowly-bound identity with least-privilege scopes rather th...

Agent Experience
Agent experience is developer experience for machines. As AI agents become first-class consumers of APIs, the experience they have discovering, understanding, authenticating, and calling an API mat...
