Why MCP? Why API-first and OpenAPI Matter

info

API-first design and MCP reduces integration pain and future-proofs your stack.

Why Choose Headless API for MCP?

  • Interoperability: APIs and context models are standardized, making integration easy
  • Rapid iteration: Update your OpenAPI spec and ship new features fast
  • Context management: Built-in support for memory, personalization, and orchestration
  • Future-proof: Build on widely adopted standards, ensuring compatibility with existing tools and ecosystems while avoiding reliance on proprietary solutions

Example: Integration Without MCP

"We spent time integrating with a partner because we had to build custom connectors. With MCP and OpenAPI, this pain disappears."

Best Practices

  • Always update your OpenAPI spec before making code changes, code to the spec, not the implementation
  • Use context to enable smarter, more adaptive workflows
