API Design & Systems Integration

Connect disparate systems and unlock value across your tech stack. We design APIs that developers love and integrations that simply work. We can take critical legacy systems with embedded intellectual property and make them available for new solutions. MCP layers can expose your data in new ways that AI can utilise to bring new efficiencies.

API Design & Systems Integration — how the pieces fit together

Systems that talk to each other properly.

Most organisations do not have a software problem so much as a joining problem: an ERP that does not know what the warehouse knows, a portal that cannot see the invoice, a legacy system holding data nobody else can reach. Integration work is what unlocks the value already sitting in your stack.

We design APIs that developers can use without ringing you, and integrations that fail loudly and recover cleanly. Where a legacy system holds critical business logic, we put a modern interface in front of it instead of rewriting it — including MCP layers, so your data can be used by AI tooling safely.

What we build:

  • Documented REST or GraphQL APIs, versioned so today's clients keep working tomorrow.
  • Integrations with retries, idempotency and dead-letter handling — not fire-and-forget scripts.
  • Modern interfaces over legacy systems, so their logic can be reused rather than rebuilt.
  • Authentication, rate limiting and audit logging on every public surface.
  • MCP endpoints that expose your data to AI tools under your own permissions.

Contracts first, then code.

Integrations go wrong in predictable ways. These four habits prevent most of them.

Contract first

The API shape is agreed and documented before implementation, so both sides can build in parallel against something stable.

Resilient by design

Retries with backoff, idempotent writes and dead-letter queues, so a partner's outage becomes a delay rather than lost data.

Secured at the edge

Token-based auth, scoped permissions, rate limits and full request logging on anything exposed outside your network.

Observable in flight

Every message traceable end to end, with alerting on the queues that matter, so you find failures before your partner calls.

Two teams agreeing an interface before they build it

Design the contract, then build both sides

We start with the interface: the resources, the payloads, the errors and the versioning rules, written as an OpenAPI or GraphQL schema. From there your teams and ours can build in parallel, testing against a mock long before the real service exists.

  • Published schema and documentation from day one
  • Mock services so client work starts immediately
  • Versioning agreed up front, so upgrades never break integrations
