--- title: "M-Files API: connect it to your AI chat ยท Hypamoon" description: "The M-Files API is open. What your AI chat can build with it on Hypamoon, how it connects, and the sources we checked." url: https://hypamoon.com/connect-to/m-files --- 1. [Connect to](https://hypamoon.com/connect-to) 2. M-Files Files and e-signing # Connect M-Files to Hypamoon Yes, with one catch. M-Files has an open API that you can use yourself, but it signs in with OAuth only, and that takes more work in a Hypamoon adapter today. Open ## The check Three questions about the API of M-Files, answered from its own docs. **Public API docs**\ **Yes.** Developer portal with REST, gRPC and other APIs. [Read the docs](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/REST-API/) **A key you create yourself**\ **Yes.** You authenticate as an M-Files user against your own vault (authentication token with username, password and vault, or SSO); no key from M-Files is needed. [developer.m-files.com](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/REST-API/) **Versions or a changelog**\ **Yes.** The API follows versioned M-Files server releases; M-Files points new work to its gRPC API. [developer.m-files.com](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/REST-API/) **Webhooks**\ **Not confirmed.** **Hosting**\ Cloud and self-hosted ## What you can build Find a contract or customer document in M-Files from your chat, and file a new document with the right metadata. Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters) ### Good to know - On-premise vaults need the M-Files Web Service published and reachable from the adapter, or a secure connection into the network. ## Try it in your chat Fill in what to read and write, and send it. Say this in your chat > Build the Hypamoon recipe build-an-adapter for M-Files. API docs: https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/REST-API/. Read: \[what\]. Write: \[what, or nothing\].

Ask the chat to check its API. The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found. Say this in your chat > Check if \[software\] has an open API that a Hypamoon adapter can use: public API docs, a key or token I can create myself without asking the vendor, and versions or a changelog.
