The Problem

AI Projects Fail When They Create Shadow Systems

Teams rebuild API logic in agent code. Duplicate business rules in LLM prompts. Lose governance. Accumulate technical debt. There's a better way.

HAPI MCP — Your APIs, AI-Ready. No Shadows.

OASMCPArazzoLLMs

No shadow code: Your API is the single source of truth. No duplicate logic in agent layers.
No shadow IT: Same auth, same policies, same audit trails. Governance flows through automatically.
No rewrites: OpenAPI specs become MCP tools instantly. Update the spec, tools update.

Works with your existing stack: HAPI Server for auto-generation, runMCP for scaling, OrcA for orchestration, QBot + chatMCP for interfaces. Deploy in seconds! Not hours, not weeks.

How It Works

Three simple steps to transform any API into a powerful, usable tool

1

Pick your API spec

OpenAPI, Swagger, REST - HAPI CLI works with any API specification format.

OpenAPI 3.0+
REST APIs
OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration
2

Run a single command

One simple CLI command transforms your API into a usable MCP Server.

No complex setup
Zero configuration
Works anywhere
Cross-platform
3

Use instantly

Your API is now ready as a tool, AI agent, or testing interface.

Impact

Why Teams Choose HAPI MCP

Real business value. No technical debt. Deploy AI faster without compromising governance.

Zero Shadow Code

Your APIs are the runtime. No duplicate logic in agent layers. One source of truth, always in sync.

Deploy in Seconds

OpenAPI to MCP tools automatically. What takes competitors months happens before you finish your coffee.

Keep Governance

Auth, RBAC, rate limits, audit trails—inherited from your APIs. Compliance teams sleep better.

Scale Effortlessly

runMCP handles serverless elasticity and long-running tasks. Cold-start fast, stay warm for throughput.

Predictable Workflows

OrcA orchestrates multi-step tasks deterministically. No brittle prompt chains or guesswork.

Stay Portable

Works with any MCP client—ChatGPT, Claude, QBot, custom agents. No vendor lock-in.

Who Wins With HAPI

Executives

Ship AI initiatives without ballooning cost. Keep teams focused on outcomes, not rewrites and integration sprawl.

Architects & PMs

Design with OpenAPI/Arazzo, run with MCP. Clear contracts, policy inheritance, and versioned workflows keep risk low.

Engineers & Ops

Deploy once. HAPI Server + runMCP scale tools; QBot/chatMCP give fast feedback; OrcA keeps executions deterministic.

Your Stack, Already Wired

HAPI Server

Turns OpenAPI into MCP tools automatically—contracts stay in sync with your source of truth.

runMCP

Autoscaling execution and testing for MCP tools; cold-start fast, stay warm when workflows run long.

OrcA

Deterministic planning and orchestration for multi-tool tasks; no brittle prompt spaghetti.

QBot

CLI TUI for power users to interact with MCP tools directly from terminal or scripts.

chatMCP

Conversational client that speaks MCP natively for support, ops, and internal assistants.

Agents

Build agentic systems from standard APIs—no custom glue. Connect MCP clients across platforms.

What Teams Say

“We pointed HAPI at our Swagger and had MCP tools in production in a week.”
“Security loved it—policies and audit trails stayed exactly as before.”
“OrcA plus runMCP gave us deterministic, scalable workflows without prompt spaghetti.”

FAQs

Do we need to rewrite our services?

No. HAPI MCP lifts your existing OpenAPI specs directly into MCP tools. Your auth, validation, and business rules remain unchanged.

Is this just another MCP server?

It’s the Headless API model: your API is the runtime. HAPI Server reflects it as MCP; runMCP scales it; OrcA orchestrates it. No duplicate logic.

Which clients can consume the tools?

Any MCP client: ChatGPT, Claude, QBot, Agentico.dev, chatMCP, bespoke orchestrators—vendor-neutral by design.

How do we keep control and compliance?

Your API remains the single source of truth. Policies, RBAC, rate limits, and audit logs flow through automatically; no shadow logic.

What about security and privacy?

Scoped credentials, per-tool permissions, and auditable calls are inherited from your API layer. HAPI adds guardrails and observability for regulated environments.
