How do you get AI to reliably call tools in order to achieve an outcome? We're learning in real time that mapping 1:1 APIs to MCP tools leads to poor tool usage. If you're shipping a MCP server its worth designing custom tools that progressively reveal information in a step by step manner calling the right API endpoints at the right time. Check out below how we ship a MCP server for our GTM team. Instead of letting the LLM bumble its way through Hubspot, Stripe, our Admin API to find the right information we've created a custom tool for the MCP server to find charges associated with a Speakeasy customer. Here's the chain of tool calls Step1 : Custom Tool: "Get charges for company". Step2: Hubspot Tool: "hubspot_search_deals" Step3: Speakeasy Tool: "speakeasy_admin_get_workspace_users" Step4: Stripe Tool: "stripe_search_customers" Step5: Stripe Tool: "stripe_list_charges" Step6: Stripe Tool: stripe_list_refunds" =💰 💰 💰 We're enabling our customers to create MCPs with real and useful tools for AI with Gram, our new platform for MCP creation and curation.

Peter Kirkham, Product Engineer at PostHog, joins our live demo lineup at MCP After Hours that will change how you think about AI evaluation methods. 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 Evals today feel like AI grading its own homework. This session explores why that isn't the only way you should be doing them and how PostHog is thinking about building confidence in MaxAI. Peter is currently building LLM Observability at PostHog. A recent SF transplant, 10+ year engineer turned vibe coder, recovering founder, and father of 2.

APIs are the backbone of modern software, yet in 2025 developers still find them frustratingly broken. Why haven’t we solved API complexity yet? In Great Things with Great Tech episode #101, I sat down with Simon Yu, Co-founder of Speakeasy, to explore this issue and how his team is transforming API development . We covered a lot of ground, including: Pain points in API dev: Why integrating APIs is still hard (think endless docs, SDKs and plumbing work) even today. Automation to the rescue: How Speakeasy auto-generates SDKs and even Terraform modules to save devs time . AI & “agentic” workflows: Preparing for a future where AI agents consume APIs. (Are your APIs ready for autonomous dev workflows?) Lessons from the best: What API leaders like Stripe and Flexport do right, and how we can learn from them. It was an eye opening discussion about the future of developer tooling and API design. If you’ve ever wrangled with APIs, you’ll find this valuable. 👉 I’ll drop the link to the full episode in the comments! Join the conversation and let me know your thoughts on where API development is headed.

I just got off a livestream with Cecil Phillip (Developer Advocate at Stripe). We did a live demo turning Stripe's multi-megabyte API spec into a full MCP server in real-time. We also spoke about why MCP is NOT a replacement for APIs and instead discussed what the future of MCPs can look like. Our view might surprise you: - MCP will be a standardized offering, in addition to and as ubiquitous as APIs today - API providers will build and maintain their own MCP servers but not for long - There will be infrastructure products and a complete toolchain for generating and managing MCP servers Want to see what an enterprise-level agentic tool stack looks like?

Maxwell Gerber, Product Engineer at Stytch, joins our live demo lineup at MCP After Hours to show how SaaS platforms can become truly agent-ready. 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗠𝗖𝗣 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 🤖 SaaS platforms typically have two layers: public APIs that get most of the attention, and a management layer for configuration tasks like setting API keys and environments. Developers prefer defining these settings in code (e.g., Terraform) rather than navigating dashboards. The same applies to their coding agents - expose your management layer as a MCP Server to make your existing platform accessible to agents. Max works on Stytch’s Agent Authentication products - bringing secure identity standards like OAuth and SAML into the Agent Age.

New podcast just dropped! Had a great chat with Sagar Batchu on the Request // Response podcast, where we talked about great developer experiences and the speed at which AI is changing API consumption habits. Thanks to Sagar and the Speakeasy team for having me on! https://lnkd.in/eXwyitZB

Tilde Thurium, Senior Developer Educator at LaunchDarkly, joins our live demo lineup at MCP After Hours that will change how you think about shipping code. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗗𝗘 🏁 As an engineer, is there anything more frustrating than interruptions that pull you outside your editor? In this interactive demo, we'll release a new feature together, without leaving the IDE. This feat is made possible by LaunchDarkly's new MCP server, powered by Speakeasy . Tilde is a Senior Developer Educator at LaunchDarkly. They can probably deadlift more than you. Ask them about how to paint an algorithm, the intersections between mutual aid and biology, or which coast has the best vegan croissants.
