MCP server feeds OpenAPI ground truth to agents, stopping them from hallucinating endpoints.

Strengths
  • •MCP server integration allows coding agents to query real API specs during generation.
  • •Cross-references OpenAPI specs against documentation to identify missing or conflicting info.
  • •Generates syntax-checked starter scripts with working auth handshakes automatically.
Weaknesses
  • •Relies entirely on the quality and completeness of the provided OpenAPI specification.
  • •Limited to platforms with machine-readable specs, excluding legacy or undocumented APIs.
Target Audience

Backend engineers, Integration developers, AI agent users

Post Description

Hi HN,

I've been building Scout over the past few months.

Point it at an OpenAPI spec and documentation, and it builds a grounded understanding of the platform: architecture, entities, workflows, starter code, a threaded AI chat, and an MCP server for coding agents.

Everything runs locally. No accounts or hosted backend.

One of the problems I kept running into was coding agents confidently inventing endpoints because they only knew APIs from training data. Scout uses the OpenAPI spec and docs as ground truth instead.

It's MIT licensed and I'd love feedback from people building integrations or using coding agents heavily.
