It supports discovering artifacts from APIs.io, GitHub, GitLab, SwaggerHub, Postman, and enterprise sources like Backstage, Apigee, and Kong. Artifacts spanning OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, MCP, and agent skills are pooled together, and purpose-scoped catalogs are composed over that pool using semantic search powered by an in-browser embedding model. Catalogs carry their own recipes for rebuilding against live sources, include freshness badges, and can be exported as APIs.json or committed directly to repos. The tool deliberately stops at cataloging, leaving governance to a companion validator and reusability scoring to a separate tool. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
