Make Your API AI-Ready: Try Swytchcode's Free Playground

Why This Matters

The dilemma
Last month I spent two days polishing API docs—
…and still got the same questions from developers.

Good docs aren't enough anymore.
Developers want interactive playgrounds, instant code snippets, and even AI agents that can call your API on their own.

That's what Swytchcode delivers.

What Swytchcode Does

Think of it as a 24/7 solutions or support engineer for your API.

  • Interactive Docs & Demos – Every endpoint and workflow becomes a live playground.

  • MCP & AI Agents – Let AI tools discover endpoints, generate code in any language, and test workflows.

  • Analytics – See exactly how developers and customers are using your API and asking about it.

📣🆓 Is your API Open-source? It's free. 🎉🥳

How to Try It (3 Steps)

  1. Open the Playground
    👉 https://playground.swytchcode.ai/

  2. Explore the Stripe Demo
    Click through a ready-made workflow, run live methods, and watch how MCP exposes endpoints to AI agents.

  3. Upload Your Own API
    Drop in an OpenAPI or Postman collection and instantly get interactive docs, live calls, and analytics—no extra code.

Under the Hood

The Swytchcode plugin is built with React and can be implemented as a library in your docs/website or can be hosted as a standalone app.

The secret sauce is MCP (Model Context Protocol), which makes your endpoints discoverable by AI models and chat-based tools.

Use Cases We're Seeing

  1. An open-source maintainer hosting docs for 200+ contributors.
  2. A SaaS startup tracking exactly which endpoints their customers hit most.
  3. DevRel teams turning dull API references into hands-on demos during workshops.
