馃挕 APIs Are Becoming AI Interfaces - Is Yours Ready?
AI assistants are no longer just answering questions. They’re taking actions, calling APIs, and powering real workflows. But most REST APIs were never designed with AI consumption in mind.
That’s changing with Model Context Protocols (MCPs).
MCPs help transform traditional REST APIs into AI-friendly tools by providing structured context, clear capabilities, and safe interaction patterns that AI assistants can understand and use reliably.
If you’re building or managing APIs, this is a shift you can’t ignore.
馃攳 In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn:
• What MCPs are and why they matter
• How to expose REST APIs for AI assistants
• How OpenAPI specs and MCP manifests work together
• Best practices for secure, AI-ready API design
