Developers & AI resources
Monivo publishes a small set of free, unauthenticated, read-only endpoints so that developers, researchers and AI agents can describe Monivo accurately and cite our rate research. Everything below is CORS-enabled and supports conditional GET via ETag / If-None-Match.
Endpoints
- /api/public/facts.json
Structured facts about Monivo: identity, mechanism, fee model, verification scope, coverage, endpoints.
application/json
- /api/public/knowledge.txt
Long-form plain-text description of Monivo. Accepts ?lang= for each published locale.
text/plain
- /api/public/quote.json
Anonymous read-only swap pricing: live provider estimates for a pair and amount, ranked by expected delivered output. No account, no key. Read-only — order creation is not exposed here.
application/json
- /api/public/rate-index.json
Monivo Crypto Swap Rate Index — sampled provider rate-dispersion dataset. Free to reuse with attribution.
application/json
- /api/public/rate-index/badge.svg

- /api/public/openapi.json
OpenAPI 3.1 description of Monivo's public read-only endpoints.
application/json
- /api/public/webmcp.json
Agent surface document: the browser WebMCP tools Monivo registers on the page, the authenticated server MCP, and live Rate Index figures read from the Rate Index endpoint at request time.

Discovery
An RFC 9727 API catalog is published at /.well-known/api-catalog as an application/linkset+json document, and an OpenAPI 3.1 description at /api/public/openapi.json. Crawler guidance lives in /robots.txt and /llms.txt.
Swapping programmatically (MCP)
Quoting and order creation are not part of the public read API. They are exposed through Monivo's Model Context Protocol server at https://monivo.io/api/public/mcp, which requires OAuth — an agent must be signed in as a Monivo user. Authorisation server metadata is advertised at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. Creating an order always requires explicit confirmation from the human operator; agents must never place a swap unattended.
Citing Monivo
The Crypto Swap Rate Index is first-party data, free to reuse with attribution to Monivo and a link to the research page. It measures dispersion across quotes Monivo actually received — it is a sample, not a census of the market. The facts endpoint carries a provenance block stating where each figure came from and how far it can be trusted; please read it before repeating a number.
