What is Elva

Elva is a developer platform that discovers APIs directly from your code repositories, scores them, and lets teams govern access with per-audience contracts. It exposes APIs to both developers and AI agents through hosted MCP servers, documentation, and SDKs, with authentication and analytics to track agent activity — no OpenAPI spec required.

Key Features

Automatic API discovery from code repositories, with no OpenAPI spec required

API scoring and governance with per-audience access contracts

Hosted MCP servers to expose APIs to AI agents

Developer-facing documentation and SDKs

Built-in authentication for API access

Analytics to track agent activity and review changes as code evolves

Use Cases

Expose internal APIs to AI agents safely through governed MCP servers
Give developers and agents different access levels to the same APIs
Track and audit how AI agents consume your APIs
Keep API documentation and access rules in sync as code evolves

Why do startups need this tool?

As AI agents become real consumers of APIs, startups need a way to govern and expose their APIs beyond human developers. Elva handles discovery, governance, authentication, and hosting in one platform, letting small teams open their APIs to agents without building custom infrastructure.
