Build
Go live with APIs and integrations in minutes, not weeks.
Speed up development with simplified processes and break down silos with the ability to design, build, and test on one AI-powered platform.
Build quality, governed APIs quickly.
Anypoint Platform lets you create API blueprints in popular formats like OAS, RAML, and AsyncAPI while checking quality standards and governance during design. This API builder tool automatically creates documentation, code examples, and tests everything with built-in simulation tools. This means fewer review cycles and faster delivery.
Access and integrate data quickly, no matter where it lives.
Connect to any system with Anypoint Platform using hundreds of prebuilt connectors for common databases, applications, and other systems. For custom needs, create bespoke connectors or automatically convert REST APIs into connectors. This flexibility means integrating with virtually any system, whether it’s a standard application or a unique business tool.
Design, develop, and deploy from a single AI enviornment.
Speed up development with integrated tools that help you create APIs in any format — all in one place. Build integrations that connect any app, system, or data source together. Before going live, test, and validate functionality with built-in simulation services and automatically turn existing API designs into working application logic.
Debug and improve quickly with a built-in API tester tool.
Debug and improve APIs quickly using built-in testing tools that find problems early in development. Our integrated testing framework enables faster test implementation and execution, while automatically generating tests from RAML API designs. Gain instant visibility into test coverage with a single click, making it easy to identify gaps and strengthen code quality.

API Design Frequently Asked Questions
An API builder is a visual development tool that lets you design and create APIs using a simple web interface instead of writing code from scratch. It helps you build API specifications in popular formats, automatically generates documentation, and lets you test how your API works before you actually build it - making API development much faster and easier.
The typical development process generally follows the API-led connectivity approach: Design APIs first, implement integration logic using Mule applications, test locally or in the cloud, and deploy to environments like CloudHub or Runtime Fabric.
MuleSoft encourages an API-first design approach that starts with API specification using RAML or OAS in Anypoint Platform. Developers can then mock, test, and document APIs before any back-end code is written, enabling better collaboration and reusability.
Key API development tools include Anypoint Code Builder (AI-powered IDE), Anypoint Platform (for managing APIs, environments, and deployments), DataWeave (for data transformation), and Anypoint Exchange (for asset discovery and reuse).
MuleSoft’s Anypoint Code Builder uses AI to assist with code generation, error resolution, flow creation, and pattern suggestions. It streamlines complex tasks, helping developers move faster and reduce mistakes.
MuleSoft manages environments like Dev, Test, and Prod through Anypoint Platform. You can assign roles, configure VPCs, and deploy applications with environment-specific properties for security and separation of concerns.
API and integrations testing can be done using built-in mocking services, MUnit (for automated unit tests), and Postman or custom scripts for functional and integration testing. ACB also supports test generation and validation tools.
Anypoint Code Builder integrates with Git for version control, helping developers manage code changes, collaborate across branches, and connect with CI/CD pipelines. You can link Git repositories directly to your projects within the tool for seamless code management.
MuleSoft supports deployment to CloudHub, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric (on-prem or in Kubernetes), and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Deployments are managed via the platform UI, CLI, or CI/CD pipelines.
MuleSoft promotes reuse through its Anypoint Exchange, where APIs, connectors, templates, and best practices can be published and consumed across teams, reducing redundancy and increasing speed.
Typical roles include API designers, integration developers, DevOps engineers, architects, and business analysts. MuleSoft’s platform and tooling support collaboration across these roles in a secure, governed environment.
