The AI assistant I thought would help me with this JSONPath refactoring task just hallucinated a feature for OpenAPI Overlays that does not exist (citation: I maintain the thing). But now I’m thinking …. maybe we DO need template based variable replacement as a feature?!?? #NerdSniped

Making REST APIs Agent-Ready: From OpenAPI to Model Context Protocol Servers for Tool-Augmented LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) are evolving from passive text generators into active agents that invoke external tools. To support this shift, scalable protocols for tool integration are essential. The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in 2024, offers a schema-driven standard for dynamic tool discovery and invocation. Yet, building MCP servers remains manual and repetitive, requiring developers to write glue code, handle authentication, and configure schemas by hand-replicatin…

OASBuilder: Generating OpenAPI Specifications from Online API Documentation with Large Language Models
AI agents and business automation tools interacting with external web services require standardized, machine-readable information about their APIs in the form of API specifications. However, the information about APIs available online is often presented as unstructured, free-form HTML documentation, requiring external users to spend significant time manually converting it into a structured format. To address this, we introduce OASBuilder, a novel framework that transforms long and diverse API d…
