Any-API Server FAQs

Question 1

What is Any-API Server?

It offers flexible authentication with pluggable modes including Bearer, Header, Basic, and Query parameters. It also provides built-in helpers for OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and Device Code flows.

Question 3

Can I use it with any HTTP API, and what operations does it support?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it provides generic tools like `api_get`, `api_post`, `api_put`, `api_delete`, and `api_probe`. It can also dynamically register specific tools from OpenAPI specifications or wordlist scans without code changes.

Question 4

What safety features are included in Any-API Server?

Accepted Answer

The server incorporates safe defaults such as retries for GET requests, awareness of `Retry-After` headers for rate limiting, and guarded write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) that require explicit enablement via `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true`.

Question 5

How can I add or discover new tools for my API?

Accepted Answer

You can add custom, typed tools by extending `src/server.ts`. For dynamic tool registration, generate `tools.json` from OpenAPI specifications or discovery scan reports, and the server will auto-register them on startup.
