What we handle

The build, the security checks,
and the work after launch

One service covering the steps your engineers would otherwise own.

Development

We connect your existing API to ChatGPT and Claude

Choose what your customers should be able to do. We build the MCP tools that turn their questions into requests to your API.

Discuss your integration

Useful customer actions

Search records, retrieve reports, and check order status.

Your existing API

We connect your endpoints and handle inputs and errors.

Your source code

Get the code and documentation at handover.

Authentication & permissions

Your customers sign in with their existing accounts

We connect your sign-in system and enforce your permissions on every request. Each customer gets only the data their account is allowed to access.

Discuss your integration

Account isolation

One customer cannot retrieve another customer’s records.

Current permissions

Expired sessions and removed access are checked.

Read-only to start

Any action that changes data is agreed separately.

Testing

We test the integration in both ChatGPT and Claude

A working endpoint is only part of the job. We test the questions customers will ask, the answers they receive, and what happens when something fails.

Discuss your integration

Customer workflows

Test real prompts against agreed expected results.

Access boundaries

Check expired sessions and cross-account requests.

API failures

Make sure errors are handled before customers see them.

Hosting & maintenance

We handle hosting, fixes, and compatibility updates

After launch, we monitor the integration and handle the maintenance in your plan. Your team has someone to call when a connection breaks.

Discuss your integration

Managed deployment

Hosting and environment configuration handled for you.

Failure monitoring

Track failed requests and investigate integration issues.

Ongoing updates

Keep the integration compatible as clients and APIs change.

Before we start

Your questions,
answered

Have a specific integration in mind?

Talk to us
Who is this for?

Software companies with an existing API and a useful customer workflow. Common starting points include searching records, retrieving reports, checking orders, and finding information already available in your product.

What does 14 days or less include?

The agreed initial integration, built, tested, and ready to connect. The timeline starts after scope, API access, and authentication requirements are confirmed. Public app directory approval follows each platform’s review process and is not included in the 14-day timeline.

What do you need from our engineers?

API documentation, a sandbox account, authentication details, and a contact who can answer product questions. You approve the tool list and review the working integration. We handle implementation, testing, and deployment.

Why not build it in-house?

You can. Your engineers would own tool design, authentication, access checks, testing, hosting, and maintenance. ModeContext takes responsibility for that agreed work so your engineers can stay focused on your product.

How much does it cost?

We quote the build and ongoing maintenance after reviewing your API and the first workflows. Your proposal separates our service fee from hosting and platform usage, so you can compare the total with your own engineering estimate.

Do you use Manufact or Speakeasy?

We can use platforms such as Manufact or Speakeasy when they fit your requirements. ModeContext handles implementation, customer permissions, testing, and the agreed ongoing maintenance. The provider and costs are agreed with you before the build.

Who owns the integration?

Your agreement includes source-code ownership, documentation, and handover. Hosting accounts, dependencies, and access are documented so you can bring the integration in-house.

Can customers change data through the integration?

We start with read-only tools. Write actions are scoped separately, including permissions, input validation, and confirmation behavior. Your API and the integration enforce the access rules.
