"The reality is that documentation is no longer just a piece of context or data found when an external developer runs into an issue — it’s a first-class context object that needs to be treated with the same focus and intentionality as the API itself. Within this context, MCP offers something more than just putting all the documentation in a single store and hoping for the best — it provides a direct pathway between the developer and the provider, allowing you to discover intent, and clarity like no other process currently on offer.

As we move towards a future focused around API discovery, we need to rethink how we look at documentation and its discovery — and solutions like MCP are going to play a huge part in making documentation and data clearer, more contextual, and more available."

Getting API Discovery Right: Part 1

APIs are everywhere. Companies have increasingly turned to API development to quickly and efficiently create consistent, feature-rich applications. APIs have become the connective tissue of data exchange, but this raises important security questions. One of the most significant of these questions is: What is the extent of my organization’s API usage? This isn’t as straightforward The post Getting API Discovery Right: Part 1 appeared first on Cequence Security.
