Business agility depends on fast, seamless connectivity – especially in an API-driven world. To help on your agility journey, we’re happy to introduce Connector Builder for Anypoint Platform, our new AI-assisted, low-code solution that empowers you to build, test, and publish connectors faster than ever. Every integration starts with a connector, and Connector Builder makes creating them simple, smart, and scalable.
From CRMs and ERPs to marketing automation, HR systems, and beyond, connectors are the lifelines of every modern enterprise. But with the SaaS explosion and the rapid evolution of APIs, traditional connector development simply can’t keep pace. Connector Builder solves this by bridging the gap between your connectivity needs and your development velocity, empowering you to build smarter and scale faster.
Choose your ideal development path with Connector Builder
We’ve made it easier than ever to build connectors in the way that works best for you, offering two powerful paths to leverage Connector Builder: MuleSoft Vibes or MuleSoft Your Way.
MuleSoft Vibes: Connector Builder
Unleash your full potential right where you work with MuleSoft’s native IDE. To use it, simply install Connector Builder within your VS Code environment and leverage MuleSoft Vibes to accelerate your development. MuleSoft Vibes is now available within Anypoint Code Builder, MuleSoft’s next-generation IDE built on VS Code, providing unlimited, frictionless access to Vibes’ generative capabilities at no additional cost for all Anypoint Platform customers.
MuleSoft, your way: In your AI client of choice
For developers who prefer to work in their own existing AI-powered IDE, you can use MuleSoft, your way. Simply configure Connector Builder in any VS Code-based AI IDE, including popular choices like Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, or Copilot. This frictionless approach seamlessly integrates MuleSoft’s essential developer and generative capabilities directly into the tools you already love, empowering you to leverage any third-party AI client and dramatically accelerate your development.
The complete Connector lifecycle from prompt to production
Connector Builder streamlines the entire process, empowering you to design, build, test, and deploy connectors seamlessly, all from your preferred IDE. Let’s take a look at each step of the lifecycle (build, configure, test, package & release, and run) to understand more.
Build: From natural language or API Spec
Instantly generate a fully functional connector scaffold in seconds with two options:
- From an API specification: Upload an OpenAPI (OAS 3.0) file for the target SaaS platform. Connector Builder automatically parses the endpoints, generates data models, and scaffolds the complete connector.
- From natural language: Simply describe your use case and the SaaS platform (e.g., “Create a connector for our internal support ticket system that can get, create, and update tickets”). The AI engine discovers the relevant endpoints, infers the schemas, and dynamically generates the connector for you.
Configure: AI-assisted configuration
Let AI handle the complex, time-consuming details. Say goodbye to digging through developer documentation:
- Pagination: AI provides all pagination parameters the target platform supports, saving hours of manual research.
- Triggers: Effortlessly define triggers to enable event-driven operations, reducing complex manual development.
- Value providers: Automatically attach value providers to data types, so the platform can retrieve and display possible field values, no more memorizing or manually entering valid options.
Test: Automated & Intelligent
Connector Builder automatically generates comprehensive test cases for all operations, pagination scenarios, and error handling. The AI engine even creates realistic, semantically accurate test data, ensuring your connector is robust and reliable from day one.
Package & Release: Secure and reusable
Use the built-in project builder or Maven to package your connector. Then, publish it directly to Anypoint Exchange as a private asset, making it securely discoverable and reusable across your entire organization.
Run: Natively in Anypoint
Once published, your new connector can be deployed and managed in Anypoint Studio or Anypoint Code Builder, just like any other MuleSoft asset.
