Developers use your APIs. Now agents do too. Elva discovers APIs from code, lets you choose what each audience can use, and runs your MCP servers with auth and analytics. Track agent activity and review changes as your code evolves
Four years ago, I was fed up with Postman and wanted to replace it. I started with docs as a side project. That became Theneo. We got into YC, and today 20,000+ companies use it.
Through Theneo, we’ve seen how messy API management gets. Now some of our customers get more API calls from agents than humans, while the way they manage those APIs has barely changed.
That’s why we built Elva. We started with a few customers, and today we’re opening it up to everyone.
You can connect your repo and Elva builds your API catalog, maps how it’s used, and checks AI readiness (fyi no spec required).
From there, create contracts around actual use cases: choose the endpoints and fields a customer, partner, or agent needs. Publish to docs platforms like Theneo or Mintlify, mocks, or hosted MCP servers. When your code changes, review the updates or sync them automatically under your publishing rules.
For MCP, we handle hosting and auth. You can test across models, see which tools are slow or failing, and collect feedback directly from agents when they get stuck.
Would love for you to try it with your own repo. Does it cover how you actually manage your APIs? What are we missing?

Who hunted Elva?
Elva was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
