AI Is Bringing Mashups Back · Mark Wolfe's Blog

AI tools are making it easier for people to create mashups by combining data and APIs without needing extensive coding skills. These mashups, which integrate multiple data sources into useful tools, are becoming more common due to advancements in AI models and tools like Claude Code and Codex. The rise of mashups is leading to a surge in new applications and internal tools, as businesses combine data from various platforms to enhance operational efficiency. SaaS providers are seeing increased API and MCP usage while users rely less on their default interfaces. Platforms that prioritize composability, stable APIs, and security will better support this growing trend.
