Simply360 Developer Platform Overview

What you can build with the Simply360 API, SDKs, CLI, and MCP server, plus where to go next as a developer.

What Is the Simply360 Developer Platform?

The Simply360 Developer Platform gives you programmatic access to your team's DataCollections, DataRecords, DataViews, DataWizards, Conversations, Reports, and more through a modern REST API. Use it to build integrations, automate workflows, embed data in external sites, and connect AI assistants to live Simply360 data.

Platform Components

  • REST API — The full Simply360 platform exposed at https://api.simply360.app as versioned endpoints under /v1/. JSON request and response bodies, standard HTTP methods, and a consistent response envelope. See the Getting Started guide and the API Reference.
  • TypeScript SDK (@simply360/sdk) — A typed client wrapping the REST API. Provides resource clients for DataRecords, DataCollections, DataViews, DataWizards, Messages, Conversations, Webhooks, and more. Works in Node.js 18+, modern browsers, and edge runtimes. See TypeScript SDK.
  • CLI (@simply360/cli, binary s360) — Command-line access for scripts and one-off operations. List collections, manage records, manage API keys, and configure webhooks from your terminal. See CLI.
  • MCP Server — A hosted remote Model Context Protocol endpoint at https://api.simply360.app/v1/mcp that exposes Simply360 DataCollections, DataRecords, and other team resources as tools to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants. See MCP Server.

What You Can Build

  • Sync data between Simply360 and external systems such as CRMs, ERPs, marketing platforms, and warehouses.
  • Automate workflows by triggering DataWizard runs, updating records, and sending messages programmatically in response to events in your own systems.
  • Build custom dashboards and apps that pull live data from your DataCollections and present it in a tailored UI.
  • Embed DataViews, DataWizards, and the conversation widget directly into third-party websites and portals. See Embedding DataViews, Wizards & the Conversation Widget.
  • Power AI agents that read and write Simply360 data using the MCP server, or use the API directly with any LLM.

Environments

Production is the default environment for every Simply360-powered app. Staging is a paid add-on or an included offer benefit, and Development is a separate, limited preview add-on or beta grant. See Environments for the endpoint matrix, access model, and credential boundaries.

Authentication at a Glance

The Simply360 API supports three primary authentication methods. All use the Authorization: Bearer <token> header:

  • API keys (s360_live_*) — Long-lived credentials for server-to-server integrations.
  • Session tokens (s360_sess_*) — Short-lived, scoped tokens (max 24 hours) for browser and partner use.
  • Cognito JWT — Used by the Simply360 webapp and other first-party clients; requires the X-Team-Id header.

MCP clients can also connect with OAuth 2.0. See Authentication for details and security recommendations.

Where to Start

  • New to the platform? Read the Getting Started guide to install the SDK, create an API key, and make your first call.
  • Choosing a target environment? Read Environments before configuring Staging or Development credentials.
  • Building an integration? Skim the Authentication and Error Handling guides, then jump to the resource you need under API Reference.
  • Connecting an AI assistant? Set up the hosted MCP Server using OAuth when your client supports it, or a scoped API key for local developer tooling.
  • Need help? Email support@simply360.app or use the feedback form — please include the requestId from any failed API response.
