May'26 - AI Tools: llms.txt, MCP Server, and OpenAPI

We’ve added new AI tooling resources to help developers and AI coding assistants understand, explore, and build with the Basiq API faster.

What’s new

LLM documentation index: Basiq now provides an AI-friendly documentation index at https://api.basiq.io/llms.txt. AI tools can use this file to discover relevant API documentation, reduce hallucinated API usage, and bootstrap context for code generation.

MCP Server: Developers can now connect MCP-compatible tools to the Basiq MCP server at https://api.basiq.io/mcp. This gives AI assistants access to Basiq documentation, endpoint references, schemas, and enabled API capabilities.

OpenAPI specifications: We’ve added OpenAPI resources for Basiq API domains, including Connect, Enrich, Insights, Identity, Reporting, Webhooks, Platform, and Affordability. These specs can be used for schema validation, SDK generation, API exploration, and AI-driven integration workflows.

What this enables
With these resources, developers can:

Search and retrieve Basiq API documentation from AI tools
Explore endpoints, request schemas, response schemas, and authentication flows
Generate integration code with better API context
Validate requests and responses using OpenAPI definitions
Use MCP-compatible clients such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot
Test and debug enabled API routes through MCP-supported workflows
