Theneo is an AI tool that generates Stripe-like API docs. Our ML models take care of tedious manual work in generating and publishing API docs, making them much easier to produce—less technically demanding for writers and less writing-intensive for developers.
This is the 4th launch from Theneo. View more

Launching today
The all-in-one platform to design, document, manage, and observe your APIs. Built for the developers shipping them, the customers integrating them, and the agents now calling them at scale.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Ana here, co-founder of Theneo.
A quick note on why this launch matters to us personally.
When we started Theneo, we made one bet: AI was going to change how APIs get documented. We were right, but we underestimated the second half of that bet. AI didn't just change how docs get written. It changed who calls APIs in the first place.
Over the past 18 months, our customers have shown us things we couldn't have predicted. Fintechs watching agents hit their endpoints in ways no human ever would. Engineering teams spending weeks hand-rolling MCP servers that crash in production. PMs realizing their API catalog was last updated two years ago and nobody knows what half the endpoints do anymore.
Elva is what came out of those conversations.
A few things I'd love your honest take on:
Does the agent-readiness audit actually surface things you didn't know about your own APIs? (I'm hoping yes. Push back if no.)
The production-grade MCP claim is bold. Try it on a real repo and tell me where it breaks.
What's missing that would make you replace your current API client tomorrow?
I'll be in the comments all day. The harder the question, the better.

@ana_robakidze congrats on the launch!

@marek_nalikowski thanks
the api catalog audit is a smart angle.. most companies have no idea half their endpoints are outdated until something breaks in production. curious how theneo handles versioning tho, like when an api changes does it auto update the docs or does someone still need to trigger that manually
Theneo
@tina_chhabra yessss, that was one of my number one requirement for our latesst agent. It automatically updates the API catalog, APi testings, MCP, api doc, and changelog, also notifies all the stakeholders. And for those that have API contracts, it lets notify correct shareholders about the updates.
Designing APIs for AI consumption is a very specific challenge. How does Theneo help with auto-generating documentation that agents can actually parse effectively?
Theneo
@rivra_dev Great question, so while theneo does the auto generated api docs, Elva in this case helps with API management, where it will scan your repo, output api catalog, and outline how well they are designed for AI, what are the issues, what can be fixed quickly, and then after MCP is launched also gives you more insights how they are actually being used and how it can be improved.
Claiming production-grade MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers is definitely a bold swing! Most of the ones I’ve seen are basically toy projects. How do you handle authentication and rate-limiting when spinning these up directly from a repo? @mariam_lekveishvili1
Theneo
@vikramp7470 Thanks for your comment! Fair skepticism. A lot of MCP servers today are basically demo code with hardcoded API keys. In our case, generating from a repo or OpenAPI spec only produces the tool interface. Authentication, execution, rate limiting, and observability all run through the hosted runtime layer, not the generated server code itself.
Credentials are handled with a zero-storage approach: we don't persist raw API secrets, and agents don't receive them directly. The runtime injects credentials only at execution time, strips sensitive headers/bodies from telemetry, and scopes rate limits per workspace by default, with optional per-client quotas on top.
The big goal is making MCP servers production-safe by default, instead of every team reinventing auth, isolation, and abuse protection around generated tooling.
As someone who deals with complex API integrations, the idea of an 'agent-readiness audit' is huge. It’s one thing to have docs for humans, but another entirely to have them structured for an autonomous agent. Does Elva suggest specific schema improvements, or does it try to wrap the existing mess into a more 'consumable' MCP layer?
Theneo
@vanshvardhan_sorte Great question! Thanks for your comment. Elva does both - it doesn't just suggest schema improvements but also recommends broader API design improvements to make your APIs truly agent-ready.

A lot of API tools feel overwhelming unless you’re technical, so I like the focus on making API management easier for both builders and users
Theneo
@thamibenjelloun Thank you! We built Theneo so that everyone on the team - whether technical or non-technical - can contribute without feeling lost. At the same time, we put a big emphasis on making the docs easy to read and navigate, not just for human users but also for AI agents.
