| name | api-gateway |
| description | Connect to 100+ APIs (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Notion, Slack, Airtable, HubSpot, etc.) with managed OAuth.
Use this skill when users want to interact with external services.
Security: The MATON_API_KEY authenticates with Maton.ai but grants NO access to third-party services by itself. Each service requires explicit OAuth authorization by the user through Maton's connect flow. Access is strictly scoped to connections the user has authorized. Provided by Maton (https://maton.ai).
|
| compatibility | Requires network access and valid Maton API key |
| metadata | {"author":"maton","version":"1.0","clawdbot":{"emoji":"🧠","homepage":"https://maton.ai","requires":{"env":["MATON_API_KEY"]}}} |
API Gateway
Passthrough proxy for direct access to third-party APIs using managed OAuth connections, provided by Maton. The API gateway lets you call native API endpoints directly.
Quick Start
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'channel': 'C0123456', 'text': 'Hello from gateway!'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage', 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
Base URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/{app}/{native-api-path}
Replace {app} with the service name and {native-api-path} with the actual API endpoint path.
IMPORTANT: The URL path MUST start with the connection's app name (eg. /google-mail/...). This prefix tells the gateway which app connection to use. For example, the native Gmail API path starts with gmail/v1/, so full paths look like /google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages.
Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
The API gateway automatically injects the appropriate OAuth token for the target service.
Environment Variable: You can set your API key as the MATON_API_KEY environment variable:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Click the copy button on the right side of API Key section to copy it
Connection Management
Connection management uses a separate base URL: https://ctrl.maton.ai
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
"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
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'slack'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
"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 OAuth.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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, you can specify which connection to use by adding the Maton-Connection header with the connection ID:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'channel': 'C0123456', 'text': 'Hello!'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection for that app.

Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| 400 | Missing connection for the requested app |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 429 | Rate limited (10 requests/second per account) |
| 500 | Internal Server Error |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough 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
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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
- Verify your URL path starts with the correct app name. The path must begin with
/google-mail/. For example:
- Correct:
https://gateway.maton.ai/google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
- Incorrect:
https://gateway.maton.ai/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
- Ensure you have an active connection for the app. List your connections to verify:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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 an expired OAuth token. Try creating a new connection via the Connection Management section above and completing OAuth authorization. If the new connection is "ACTIVE", delete the old connection to ensure the gateway 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
Tips
-
Use native API docs: Refer to each service's official API documentation for endpoint paths and parameters.
-
Headers are forwarded: Custom headers (except Host and Authorization) are forwarded to the target API.
-
Query params work: URL query parameters are passed through to the target API.
-
All HTTP methods supported: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE are all supported.
-
QuickBooks special case: Use :realmId in the path and it will be replaced with the connected realm ID.
