A glossary is a collection of common and agreed upon (business) terms, typically focused on defining the meaning of data and described in terms that everyone understands.
Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
One button, every client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code and the rest.
