Connector Builder Overview
Use Connector Builder to create your own Anypoint Connectors easily. Connector Builder is an extension that streamlines and accelerates connector development by creating connectors either from an API specification (OAS 3.0) or with AI assistance (available when using Cursor). These connectors integrate with SaaS applications that use HTTP-based connectivity.
Connector Builder creates connectors by using LinkWeave, which is a connectivity language built on top of DataWeave. Connector Builder is UI-first, so you don’t need LinkWeave knowledge to create connectors. However, for advanced use cases, you can use LinkWeave to extend and enhance functionality by adding custom capabilities.
