API Gateway

Connect to external services through Maton-managed API routes. Use this skill only after the user names the target app, account, and task. Start with read/list calls when possible and follow the app-specific reference before any change.

API Gateway

Managed API routing for third-party services, provided by Maton. Use this only for a user-requested app, account, and task.

Quick Start

CLI:

maton slack channel list --types public_channel --limit 10
maton api '/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10'

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Routing

Use https://api.maton.ai/ with the app-prefixed routes documented in the examples below or in the matching reference file.

Usage protocol:

  1. Only invoke after the user specifies the exact app, account, and task.
  2. Always start with read-only (GET) calls to verify the target account, resource identifiers, and current state.
  3. All non-GET requests are denied unless the user explicitly approves each one. Before any POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE call, present the user with: the exact connection ID, the full endpoint path, the request body, and the expected outcome — then wait for approval.
  4. If the user's request implies a non-GET operation, first show them what you intend to call and ask for confirmation. Do not infer approval from the original request.

Read-only route examples:

https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10
https://api.maton.ai/google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages

The first path segment is the app identifier listed in Supported Services. For Gmail, use /google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages.

Installation

NPM:

npm install -g @maton-ai/cli

Homebrew:

brew install maton-ai/cli/maton

Authentication

IMPORTANT — Credential Safety:

  • Treat MATON_API_KEY as a secret. Never log it, echo it, paste it into prompts, or expose it in shared files, command output, or tool results.
  • Connection creation requires explicit user approval. Before creating any connection, ask the user to confirm the specific service and confirm they intend to authorize access. Never create connections on the agent's own initiative.
  • Least-privilege scopes: When a service offers scope selection during OAuth, select only the scopes the current task requires. Do not accept broader scopes for convenience.
  • Remove connections immediately after the task is complete if they are no longer needed (maton connection delete {id}).
  • If the key may have been exposed (logs, screenshots, shared terminals), rotate it immediately at maton.ai/settings.
  • Never share the key across users, workflows, or environments that do not require it.

CLI:

maton login                          # Opens browser for API key
maton login --interactive            # Skip browser, paste API key directly
maton whoami                         # Show current auth state

Manual:

  1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
  2. Go to maton.ai/settings
  3. Click the copy button on the right side of API Key section to copy it
  4. Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Connection Management

Connection management uses a separate base URL: https://api.maton.ai

List Connections

CLI:

maton connection list slack --status ACTIVE
maton api -X GET /connections -f app=slack -f status=ACTIVE

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=slack&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Query Parameters (optional):

  • app - Filter by service name (e.g., slack, hubspot, salesforce)
  • status - Filter by connection status (ACTIVE, PENDING, FAILED)

Response:

{
  "connections": [
    {
      "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
      "status": "ACTIVE",
      "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
      "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
      "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=5e9...",
      "app": "slack",
      "method": "OAUTH2",
      "metadata": {}
    }
  ]
}

Create Connection

CLI:

maton connection create slack
maton api /connections -f app=slack

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'slack'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Request Body:

  • app (required) - Service name (e.g., slack, notion)
  • method (optional) - Connection method (API_KEY, BASIC, OAUTH1, OAUTH2, MCP)

Get Connection

CLI:

maton connection view {connection_id}
maton api /connections/{connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=5e9...",
    "app": "slack",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned URL in a browser to complete service authorization.

Delete Connection

CLI:

maton connection delete {connection_id}
maton api -X DELETE /connections/{connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple connections for the same app, specify which connection to use:

CLI:

maton slack channel list --types public_channel --limit 10 --connection {connection_id}
maton api '/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10' --connection {connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always specify the connection to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

  • Access is scoped to the specific third-party service connected through each Maton connection and the scopes the user authorized.
  • Use least privilege. Connect only the services needed for the current task. Prefer read-only scopes and revoke unused connections promptly.
  • Default to read/list calls. Retrieve or list resources first to verify identifiers, account context, and current state before proposing any change.
  • All operations that modify data require explicit user approval. Before executing any POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE call, confirm the target service, resource, payload, and intended effect with the user. This includes sending messages, creating records, modifying content, deleting resources, and triggering workflows.
  • High-impact operations require extra caution. Actions such as bulk deletions, publishing content, sending emails/messages to external recipients, modifying billing or financial data, or changing permissions must be clearly described with specific resource identifiers and confirmed before execution.
  • Always specify the connection. Use the --connection flag (CLI) or Maton-Connection header to ensure requests go to the intended account, especially when the user has multiple connections for the same service.

Stripe - List Customers (Native API)

CLI:

maton stripe customer list -L 10

Python:

# Native Stripe API: GET https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers?limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Code Examples

CLI

# List public slack channels
maton slack channel list --types public_channel --limit 10

# List unread messages with headers
maton google-mail message list --hydrate

# Filter with jq — e.g., only active customers
# Note: --jq requires --json
maton stripe customer list -L 10 --json --jq '.data | map(select(.delinquent == false))'

JavaScript (Node.js)

const response = await fetch('https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  }
});
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()

Error Handling

StatusMeaning
400Missing connection for the requested app
401Invalid or missing Maton API key
429Rate limited (10 requests/second per account)
500Internal Server Error
4xx/5xxPassthrough error from the target API

Errors from the target API are passed through with their original status codes and response bodies.

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

CLI:

  1. Check your auth state:
maton whoami
  1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
maton connection list

Manual:

  1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
  1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

  1. Verify your URL path starts with the correct app name. The path must begin with /google-mail/. For example:
  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
  1. Ensure you have an active connection for the app. List your connections to verify:

CLI:

maton connection list google-mail --status ACTIVE

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=google-mail&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Server Error

A 500 error may indicate expired service authorization. Try creating a new connection via the Connection Management section above and completing service authorization. If the new connection is "ACTIVE", delete the old connection to ensure Maton uses the new one.

Rate Limits

  • 10 requests per second per account
  • Target API rate limits also apply

Notes

  • When using curl with URLs containing brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]), use the -g flag to disable glob parsing
  • When piping curl output to jq, environment variables may not expand correctly in some shells, which can cause "Invalid API key" errors
  • Media upload URLs (LinkedIn, etc.): Some APIs return pre-signed upload URLs that point to a different host than the normal API host (e.g., LinkedIn returns www.linkedin.com upload URLs while API calls use api.linkedin.com). These upload URLs are pre-signed and do NOT require an Authorization header. Upload the binary directly to the returned URL. You MUST use Python urllib for these uploads because the URLs contain encoded characters (e.g., %253D) that get corrupted when passed through shell variables or curl. Always parse the JSON response with json.load() and use the URL directly in Python.

Tips

  1. Use native API docs: Refer to each service's official API documentation for endpoint paths and parameters.

  2. Headers are forwarded: Custom headers (except Host and Authorization) are forwarded to the target API.

  3. Query params work: URL query parameters are passed through to the target API.

  4. HTTP methods: Use the method required by the referenced endpoint. Confirm the exact target and expected outcome before methods that change data.

  5. QuickBooks special case: Use :realmId in the path and it will be replaced with the connected realm ID.
