API integration in Claude Code
From nothing to a working call, without leaving the editor.
Adding an API usually means reading docs in one window and writing code in another, then finding out at runtime that a field is named something else. With the MCP server connected, Claude Code runs in your terminal with the whole repo in view, so it can add the client, wire the call, and run the thing to see whether it worked — so the integration is written against responses it has actually seen.

Build with it.
Ask Claude Code for what you need. It calls the tool, sees the real response, and writes code against the shape that came back rather than one it guessed — each call costs the same credits as the matching REST call.
Good for
- Add KonbiniAPI to a project that has never called it
- Generate a typed client from responses rather than from a schema you pasted
- Get auth, pagination, and error handling right the first time
- Wire a second platform into an integration that already handles one
Add KonbiniAPI to this project. Fetch a TikTok profile first so you can see the response shape, then write the client and the types.
Call the Reddit subreddit posts endpoint through MCP, then write a typed wrapper around it that handles the cursor pagination.
I already call the Instagram endpoints. Add LinkedIn company lookups the same way, matching the patterns in [file].
Set up KonbiniAPI auth in this project the way we do other API keys, and add one working call as a smoke test.
Write an integration test for our KonbiniAPI client using a real response you fetch through MCP as the fixture.
Swap the bracketed parts for your own project — the platform, the endpoint, and where the result should land.
