✨ What is reShapr?
reShapr is the open source runtime that turns your existing APIs AI-Native, without rebuilding them. It bridges the gap between traditional REST/GraphQL/gRPC services and LLMs by transforming them into governed, discoverable, context-optimized MCP tools.

🧠 Solving the "Context Window" Problem
One of the biggest hurdles in building AI agents is Context Overload. Sending massive JSON responses to an LLM wastes tokens and degrades performance.
reShapr introduces Context Control
🌟 Key Features
- AI-Native Transformation: Auto-transform API services into LLM-friendly tools.
- Context Control: Filter and slim down payloads before they reach the LLM.
- Multi-Protocol: REST, GraphQL, and gRPC support.
- Zero Rewrite: Import an existing contract and get working MCP tools in minutes, with no bespoke MCP server per API.
