Use the HTTP API to read your workspace and prepare confirmed changes. All product clients use the same permissions and publishing review requirements.

## Choose an interface

- [HTTP API — authentication, tool discovery, confirmed writes and errors.](/developers/http-api)
- [TypeScript SDK — typed calls for projects with the repository package.](/developers/sdk)
- [CLI — commands for a local repository installation.](/developers/cli)
- [MCP — connect an assistant to product tools or public documentation.](/developers/mcp)

Start by listing the tools available to your connection. Available tools depend on your permissions and enabled features. A tool in the reference does not guarantee that it is enabled for your account.

Read the [API reference](/api-reference) for request and response schemas. Use the current tool catalog for discovery; do not build new integrations around legacy command aliases.
