APIContext
An APIContext press release announcing the company’s formation identifies Seattle, Washington as its location.
What it is
APIContext is a monitoring platform for checking API and service behavior using authenticated calls on a continuous schedule. It covers REST and GraphQL APIs, browser-based web journeys, MCP servers, AI workflows, and third-party services, with checks from 125+ global locations. The platform compares API behavior with OpenAPI specifications and standards including FAPI, and can alert when an endpoint no longer matches its contract. Security checks use real calls to validate production OAuth, FAPI, JWT, mTLS, scopes, tokens, and protected-resource behavior. APIContext supports OpenTelemetry-compatible traces, metrics, logs, and events, with routing through webhooks and APIs; listed destinations include Datadog, Dynatrace, Splunk, Grafana, PagerDuty, Slack, ServiceNow, and OpsGenie. The free plan allows 10,000 monthly API, MCP, and HTTP tests but excludes simulated browser journeys. Paid plans start at $29/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is listed. The service is available on Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
