Talk to Comparatio directly. REST API, webhooks, MCP — no middleware in between.
Comparatio’s REST API, webhooks, and MCP endpoints sit alongside its classic AS2, SFTP, FTP, HTTPS, and VAN connections — so you can integrate the way your team already works, direct or otherwise.
- No middleware required
- MCP endpoints, read-only & audited
- ECGrid API as a modern SFTP alternative
Capabilities
Six ways to connect, no middleware required
Comparatio’s API platform is built for teams who’d rather integrate directly than wait on a middleware layer.
REST API
Query and manage your EDI data through Comparatio’s REST API — built to sit alongside classic AS2, SFTP, FTP, HTTPS, and VAN connections, not force a rip-and-replace.
Webhooks
Subscribe to webhooks and get notified as transactions move through the platform, instead of polling for status.
MCP server endpoints
The same MCP server that answers natural-language EDI questions exposes endpoints for direct integration — read-only, zero-trust, and fully audited.
ECGrid API integration
Trade files programmatically instead of parking them in a folder — ECGrid API integration is the modern alternative to a classic SFTP file drop.
AS2
Classic AS2 exchange with certificate management and auto-renewal handled for you — the protocol most large trading partners still mandate.
SFTP, FTP & HTTPS
The file-transfer protocols your partners already use, monitored around the clock so a connection that quietly stops gets a ticket rather than a silence.
Modern authentication is already part of the platform — Office 365 email pickup authenticates via OAuth 2.0, with no stored passwords.
MCP as an integration point
The MCP server isn’t just for plain-English questions
It also exposes endpoints your systems can call directly — read-only, zero-trust, and running inside your network, with every query written to the platform query log. For the natural-language side, see AI & MCP.
FAQ
API integration, in practice
Do I have to route everything through a middleware layer?
No — you can integrate directly against Comparatio’s REST API, webhooks, and MCP endpoints without a middleware layer in between.
What’s the difference between an SFTP file drop and ECGrid API integration?
ECGrid API integration lets you trade files programmatically instead of parking them in a folder for pickup. It’s the modern alternative to a classic SFTP drop, sitting alongside Comparatio’s AS2, SFTP, FTP, HTTPS, and VAN connections.
Is the MCP server just for natural-language questions?
No — the same read-only, zero-trust, fully audited MCP server that answers plain-English EDI questions also exposes endpoints for direct integration. See the AI & MCP page for the natural-language side.
