Yesterday I walked through everything you can do with the APIs.io API. Today is the other door into the same catalog: the APIs.io MCP server. I asked the live server what it offers… https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/06/one-hundred-forty-one-tools-in-the-apis-io-mcp-server/?utm_source=bluesky

Someone asked me a simple question last week. Of the providers who publish an API definition, how many are publishing Swagger and how many are publishing OpenAPI, and which versions? 8,324 of… https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/05/one-in-ten-api-providers-still-publish-swagger/?utm_source=bluesky
After APIDays in London, I can now usually tell within the first five minutes when an MCP talk at a conference is going to go nowhere, and was likely just AI-generated. There are clichés to look for… https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/05/it-is-called-api-design-you-mcp-hustlers/?utm_source=bluesky
