We built a system that generates production-ready API connectors using specifications, scaffolding, and AI agents. Instead of writing connectors from scratch or dealing with vendor black boxes, you get consistent, testable code you can understand and modify.

When to Use This

First, check the registry: Browse existing connectors at the registry to see if someone already built what you need.

Build a new one if:

• Your API isn't covered yet
• You need a different language implementation
• You want custom domain logic
• You're prototyping a new API integration

How It Works

Generate a connector scaffold for any API. Here's building a Stripe connector:

You get a complete project structure with src/, schemas/, tests/, docs/, and examples/ directories, organized for endpoints, file formats, and relational data.

Building with AI

Point any LLM at the system components with this prompt:

The system gives the AI three things:

• .claude/AGENTS.md - 15+ specialized agents that extract schemas, implement resilience patterns, create tests, and generate documentation
• specifications/api-connector.mdx - Production requirements including circuit breakers, rate limiting, retry logic, and error handling standards
• registry/_scaffold/ - Templates with schema organization for endpoints, file formats (CSV/JSON/Parquet), and relational structures

AI agents discover API-specific patterns like idempotency requirements, webhook validation, rate limits, and pagination while implementing production resilience patterns.

Testing

Generated connectors include automated tests (defined in api-connector.mdx):

Contributing

Each connector improves the system through a two-PR workflow:

1. Contribute your connector:

2. Improve the factory (separate PR):

Why This Works

Each connector:

• Tests specifications against real APIs
• Reveals new patterns the system hasn't seen
• Improves agents with implementation experience
• Enhances scaffold/spec/agents with better templates
• Makes the next connector easier and faster

The system learns from every implementation.

The project is at github.com/514-labs/connector-factory. We're building a better way to handle API integration—one connector at a time.
