From idea to first payout in four steps

Three steps to go live. The fourth is getting paid, and you can try the numbers below.

Pick an idea

Start from a business request or your own. Fork a GitHub example to move fast.

Build and test

Use the REST API, webhooks and the TypeScript client against a sandbox business.

Submit for review

Set listing, price and refund policy. Octabiz reviews and replies with clear notes.

API quickstart

One REST API for the whole business

Customers, invoices, orders, products, inventory and more. The same API behind the Octabiz AI assistant, our MCP server, and the Zapier, Make and n8n apps.

Signed webhooks for real-time events
OpenAPI 3.1 spec, generate a typed client in one command
Scoped keys, idempotent writes, clear rate limits
NEWMCP server

Your app’s data, reachable from any AI assistant

Octabiz ships a Model Context Protocol server. Businesses connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor once, and every Octabiz capability shows up as a tool they can call in plain language.

Same capabilities as the REST API
One registry feeds the API, webhooks, AI chat and MCP, so nothing drifts.
Read-only by default
Businesses choose whether connected assistants may make changes. Every write is confirmed by the user and logged.
Sign-in based, no extra keys
Uses the business’s Octabiz login (OAuth 2). Permissions follow their role.

Get hired

Businesses that can’t code will pay you to build for them

  • Payment is held before you start
  • Your published apps and reviews show on your profile
  • Turn a custom build into a public app later, if the proposal says so
