I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as an OpenAPI spec, is in fact, an API document, or as I've recently taken to calling it, an OpenAPI spec plus document. An OpenAPI spec is not a document unto itself but rather another free component of a fully functioning API system

"I used to think OpenAPI was the best way to define REST APIs. And I bet you think that way, too. After all, OpenAPI has so many benefits that it's easy to ignore its drawbacks—until you feel them, that is."

clis are winning because we haven't seen broad enough adoption of standardized self-describing APIs (i.e. OpenAPI)
Alarmed at this trend of people finally realizing MCP is a pointless abstraction, then skipping right over publishing a regular boring API, and instead launching new CLIs for agents to use for some reason. It’s baffling.

as i iterate on this im getting more and more convinced that applying the way dropshot approaches openapi to atproto lexicons is basically the way to go here . code → schema not schema → code. it's sick

Prediction - as soon as OpenAPI cuts a few checks to our politicians about “this new threat” they’ll be sure to try to ban it “for our safety”.

👾 Weekend project: play with the Bluesky API from Swift.
(Spoiler: yes it does have an OpenAPI doc, and yes let's generate the client in Swift using Swift OpenAPI Generator 🚀)
I'll try to make it a thread below, follow me for more to come

It turns out OpenAI have a GitHub repository with a 26,000 line YAML OpenAPI schema describing their full API - the same API that's emulated by all sorts of other tools within the LLM ecosystem. Made some notes on that here, plus a YAML exploration tool:

Seeing as the LLM world has semi-standardized on imitating OpenAI's API format for a whole host of different tools, it's useful to note that OpenAI themselves maintain a dedicated repository …
