Live today — V1, comprehension
- Ingest any OpenAPI → first-call-correct MCP tools (
gecko <url>). Run it now. gecko from-docs— an API with no OpenAPI? Point it at the doc site → a draft spec → agent tools. See From docs.- Invisible auth — the credential is injected at call time, never in the tool defs, never seen by the agent.
$0recorded mode — falsify every call offline, from the schema, before you spend a token.- Hosted MCP — one-click add to Claude Code / Cursor / VS Code.
- Control-plane correctness corpus + replay — call-outcome metadata (never payloads) that proves first-call-correctness.
Building — V2, continuous correctness
Designed, in progress. The primitives ship today; the scheduled pieces are being built.
- Stay-correct watcher — notice when an API drifts, diff what moved, regenerate the tool defs, and tell you — before your agent breaks in prod. See Stay correct.
- The correctness corpus as a compounding asset — every call teaches how to call an API right, so a new painful API is more first-call-correct because someone already paid the tax.
- Poisoning / tampering monitoring — we treat every ingested spec and doc as untrusted. When a stable surface silently shifts — a moved auth location, a changed host, a dropped required field — we quarantine it and alert, instead of letting the agent fire a poisoned call.
- Vectorized semantic catalog · multi-API scale.
Exploring — V3, trust + Cloud
Unbuilt. If one of these is the reason you’d adopt, tell us below — it moves up.
- Trust & verification — “is this the right call, is this response sane?”
- Cloud — hosted always-on watcher jobs, drift + poisoning alerts, team entitlements, and the shared correctness corpus that makes an API you’ve never called day-one-correct.
Free vs Cloud
Thegecko-surf engine is free and open-source, forever — ingest, comprehend, first-call-correct
tools, recorded mode, run it yourself. Cloud (hosted) adds what you don’t want to operate: the
always-on stay-correct watcher, drift + poisoning alerts, team entitlements, and the managed
cross-customer corpus. Who pays, in one sentence: the engine is free forever for builders; API
providers pay a flat per-API subscription for hosted, drift-watched, agent-ready surfaces — and
nobody ever pays us a cut of an API call (For API providers).
What we’ll never build
So the labels above stay credible:- No browsable provider marketplace. Point us at the OpenAPI URL — the flow is identical for every API.
- No payment rail, no custody of your funds or your provider keys. We compose x402 / pay.sh; the provider charges you directly.
- No storage of your API responses, request values, or secrets. The correctness corpus is metadata-only by construction — a fail-closed allowlist, not a policy you have to trust.
