Access to 200+ connectors. No loading screens. No code generation. Just your accounting and ERP data at the speed of a command.
$brew install apideck-libraries/tap/apideckA CLI that works the way you think — discover, inspect, execute. And costs 17x less tokens when your AI agent does the same.
~80 tokens for the full agent prompt. Progressive discovery via --list and --help keeps context windows lean — 17x cheaper than MCP for the same operations.
No SDK, no code generation. The CLI parses the OpenAPI spec at startup and builds the full command tree dynamically. Always in sync with the API.
Read operations auto-approved. Writes require confirmation. Deletes are blocked by default. Baked into the binary — no prompt can override it.
Run apideck explore for a full interactive API playground in your terminal. Browse resources, inspect schemas, and test calls — no browser needed.
Tables for humans in a TTY, JSON for pipes. Switch between json, yaml, csv, and table with --output. Filter fields with --fields.
Every agent framework has shell execution. No MCP client required. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, custom agents — anything with a terminal.
The CLI mirrors how developers actually work. Start broad, drill down, take action.
Browse all API groups and resources with --list and --help. Progressive discovery keeps it simple.
Run any operation. Tables for humans, JSON for pipes. Same normalized data across all connectors.
Pipe into jq, script with bash, or let your AI agent chain commands. No SDK needed.
Both connect AI agents to your APIs. The CLI does it with 17x fewer tokens.
