  Stainless is an API developer experience platform that generates best-in-class
  SDKs, interactive documentation, production-ready CLI tools, MCP servers, and
  Terraform providers directly from an OpenAPI specification. Trusted by Anthropic,
  Cloudflare, Google, and OpenAI, Stainless automates the boilerplate of client
  library development including HTTP requests, retries with exponential backoff,
  streaming, and pagination. The platform supports TypeScript, Python, Go, Java,
  Kotlin, Ruby, C#, PHP, and Terraform, with Rust and Swift in development.
