API, MCP and agent skills

Use an integration when repository research must be repeatable inside a product workflow, agent or dashboard.

Integration workflow

Choose the right interface​

  • Swagger / OpenAPI: inspect endpoint shapes and responses before coding. Open Swagger UI or the OpenAPI JSON.
  • REST API: use for product code, dashboards and CI. Store API keys in your platform secret manager, never in browser code or a repository.
  • MCP: use for MCP-aware clients that should ask AtlasRepo during a task. Review the server and the client permission prompt before enabling it.
  • Skills: use for repeatable agent behavior. Read source, risk metadata and expected environment variables before installation.

Safe connection checklist​

  1. Create or obtain an eligible API key in the member area.
  2. Keep the key in an environment variable or a managed secret store.
  3. Start with a read-only catalog request and a narrow query.
  4. Log the source and decision, not the API key or raw credentials.
  5. Add rate limits and retries in your own application where appropriate.
