June 2025 Summaries

APIMatic's latest release introduces several enhancements aimed at improving API and SDK development experiences. Users can now generate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers directly from OpenAPI specifications, simplifying the creation of conversational interfaces for APIs. The update also allows for customizable API Portal layouts, providing declarative control over container alignment and maximum widths for optimized visual presentation. Additionally, SDK documentation can now include infrastructure details like helper methods, improving comprehensiveness. The release enhances SDK compatibility with enterprise environments by enabling native proxy configuration, initially available for PHP and .NET, with plans to expand to other languages. The SDK publishing process has been streamlined, allowing source code to be published without version tags and with detailed package configurations. The retention period for SDK logs and artifacts has been extended to 360 days, aiding in long-term debugging. Improvements in error response diagnostics and validation for "Docs as Code" further enhance usability. The update includes breaking changes, such as stricter TOC file validation rules and standardized line endings, requiring users to adjust existing files and scripts accordingly.
