Elva is a developer platform that discovers APIs directly from your code repositories, scores them, and lets teams govern access with per-audience contracts. It exposes APIs to both developers and AI agents through hosted MCP servers, documentation, and SDKs, with authentication and analytics to track agent activity — no OpenAPI spec required.
