# Lovable API

> Learn what the Lovable API is, what it enables, and how to get started building apps programmatically with Lovable.

The **Lovable API** makes it possible to create and share Lovable apps programmatically — turning ideas, prompts, or even images into fully-generated applications with a single link.

It’s designed for developers, creators, and teams who want to **integrate Lovable into their workflows** or **automate app generation** from anywhere on the web.

## What is the Lovable API?

The Lovable API is a growing suite of features that extend what you can do with Lovable beyond the web interface.

The first release, [**Build with URL**](https://docs.lovable.dev/integrations/build-with-url), allows you to generate apps directly from a shareable URL.

With it, you can:

* Embed **Build with Lovable** buttons on your site or app.
* Share app-generating links with teammates or customers.
* Integrate Lovable app creation into internal tools or scripts.
* Prototype instantly from a single link.

## Why use the Lovable API?

* **Automation:** Trigger app creation from code, dashboards, or workflows.
* **Integration:** Bring Lovable into your own product experience.
* **Speed:** Generate and share new app ideas faster than ever.
* **Shareability:** URLs make collaboration simple and frictionless.

## What’s next for the Lovable API?

The Lovable API is expanding. The latest addition is the [**MCP Server (Research Preview)**](/integrations/lovable-mcp-server) — a Model Context Protocol server at `https://mcp.lovable.dev` that lets AI clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor manage Lovable projects through natural language.

More endpoints and integration options are on the way. Follow updates on the [Lovable Blog](https://lovable.dev/blog).
