· 2 min read

Creator of AnyWayData

This release adds major new ways to run and integrate AnyWayData: a CLI workflow, a REST API, MCP support, and a Dockerized Web UI setup.

You can now choose the interface that best matches your workflow, from local scripting to service integrations and agent/tooling connections.

What Is New

  • CLI usage for local scripts and automation.
  • REST API for HTTP and OpenAPI-driven integrations.
  • MCP transport for tool/agent ecosystems over stdio.
  • Dockerized Web UI for container-based interactive usage.

Web UI

You can run the Web UI as a Dockerized deployment, as well as hosted and local static modes.

Use this when you want an interactive, browser-first way to import, edit, generate, and export data.

REST API

The REST API gives you programmatic generation over HTTP with OpenAPI and Swagger support.

Use this for service-to-service calls, CI integrations, and tooling that consumes API contracts.

MCP

MCP support adds stdio-based integration for MCP-capable hosts and tools.

Use this for agent-driven workflows where MCP is the preferred transport model.

Read it here:

CLI (Node and Bun)

The CLI adds direct command-line generation with Node/npm and Bun workflows.

Use this for scripts, local batch tasks, and shell pipeline automation.

Choosing The Right Interface

  • Choose Web UI for interactive use.
  • Choose REST API for HTTP integration and OpenAPI-first workflows.
