Apideck has launched an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents unified read/write access to 200+ SaaS applications — CRM, accounting, HRIS, ATS, file storage, and more — through a single normalized API surface. Every resource is exposed as an MCP tool (list, get, create, update, delete), and the schema stays consistent regardless of which underlying provider is connected, so you can swap Salesforce for HubSpot without changing your agent code. Compatible with OpenAI Agents SDK, Cloudflare Agents SDK, and any MCP-compliant agent framework, Apideck's server eliminates the most painful part of enterprise agent development: writing and maintaining dozens of individual API integrations with different schemas, auth flows, and pagination patterns. One connection, normalized data, consistent tools. The timing is well-chosen: as enterprise AI adoption accelerates, the bottleneck has shifted from model capability to data access. Apideck MCP Server directly addresses the "how does my agent actually read and write to the software my company uses" problem, which is currently a major friction point for every enterprise AI team.

Eyeball
Embeds source screenshots in AI analysis to kill hallucinations

Eyeball is a GitHub Copilot CLI plugin with a deceptively simple idea: instead of trusting the AI to accurately summarize documents, it captures screenshots of the actual source material and embeds them alongside the AI's claims in the output report. If the model says "Section 10 requires mutual indemnification," the report shows that exact section highlighted in yellow directly below the claim. The underlying insight is sharp — screenshots cannot be hallucinated. Text can be subtly reworded, paraphrased incorrectly, or synthesized from nowhere. But a screenshot is a literal capture of the source. Built for legal review, compliance analysis, financial due diligence, and any domain where the stakes of an AI error are high. Built by indie developer dvelton, it handles PDFs, Word documents, and web pages. MIT licensed, free to use. Surfaced on Hacker News Show HN today, where it sparked an active discussion about AI verification and the underrated value of visual evidence in AI-assisted analysis workflows.
Reviewer scorecard
“Normalized schemas across 200+ SaaS APIs exposed as MCP tools — this eliminates weeks of integration work per enterprise agent deployment. The ability to swap providers without changing agent code is the killer feature; it future-proofs your agent against vendor changes.”
“This is one of those ideas that makes you think 'why isn't every AI analysis tool doing this?' The implementation is simple — capture screenshots of the source during analysis — but the trust it builds in the output is enormous. I'd use this immediately for any contract or regulatory review workflow.”
“Apideck isn't new — they've been building unified API infrastructure since 2021, and this MCP wrapper is a marketing play on existing technology. The abstraction layer also means you lose access to provider-specific features and advanced APIs, which matters a lot for complex enterprise workflows.”
“Screenshots prove the source exists but don't verify the AI's interpretation of it is correct. A model can still misread highlighted text or draw wrong conclusions. Also, PDF-to-screenshot pipelines get messy with scanned documents, multi-column layouts, and complex tables — exactly the docs where hallucinations are most likely.”
“MCP is becoming the USB standard for AI tool connectivity, and Apideck's 200+ normalized integrations make them an immediate kingmaker in enterprise agentic workflows. The company that owns the 'AI agent connectivity layer' for enterprise SaaS is going to be enormously valuable.”
“Eyeball points toward a future of verifiable AI outputs — not just 'the model said this' but 'the model said this, here's the evidence, here's the reasoning chain.' Legal AI adoption hinges on explainability, and embedded source screenshots are a practical step toward outputs that hold up under professional scrutiny.”
“Being able to connect an AI agent to my project management tools, file storage, and CRM through one MCP server — without writing custom integrations — is a genuine workflow unlock. Even for smaller creative teams, 'one connection to rule them all' saves enormous setup friction.”
“For research, journalism, and content work where you're citing sources, this is a game-changer. The ability to produce a report where every claim is visually anchored to the source makes the output publishable rather than just useful. The design of the output document matters — would love to see more control over the visual layout.”
