About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Fusio is a PHP-based self-hosted API management platform for exposing databases and business logic while adding authentication, a developer portal, SDK generation, and usage controls.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Expose existing databases and microservices as APIs

Create REST APIs in front of databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL or route and orchestrate traffic across distributed services through the gateway.

Sources: [2]

Package business logic as reusable Actions

Implement logic as PHP classes or backend Workers and bind it to HTTP methods and paths. Worker support also enables JavaScript and Python-based logic.

Sources: [2]

Combine developer portals, SDK generation, and API monetization

Provide API documentation and testing, issue developer keys, generate client SDKs, and manage subscription plans, quotas, and billing from the same platform.

Sources: [2]

Expose API functionality to MCP and AI agents

Native MCP support and the Agent model let existing API operations and Actions become tools for AI workflows. The 7.1 line adds consumer-agent and public-agent controls.

Sources: [2][3]

Best fit

Fits teams turning internal services into managed API products

It is useful when existing systems need a consistent management layer before they are exposed to external developers or AI clients.

Sources: [2]

Before adoption

Replace Docker example credentials before production

The README Docker Compose example includes fixed project, database, and administrator credentials. Production deployments should replace these with unique secrets and use an appropriate web-server configuration.

Sources: [2]

v7.1.1 includes an MCP SDK security update

The v7.1.1 release updates mcp/sdk to address PKSA-p9gd-j6gr-6f9t. MCP deployments should use a fixed current release rather than an older vulnerable dependency set.

Supplemental curator note

Fusio goes beyond exposing databases and services as APIs by combining access control, a developer portal, SDK generation, and usage management. The 7.x line also expands MCP and agent features, so AI integrations should use a current stable release with reviewed dependencies.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Create compose.yml from the official Docker example

    Save the documented fusio/fusio and MySQL services, replacing the fixed project key, database password, and administrator password with evaluation-specific values.

    Create compose.yml from the Docker example in the Fusio README
  2. 2

    Start Fusio and its database

    Start Fusio and MySQL in the background.

    docker compose up -d
  3. 3

    Open the backend application

    Sign in with the administrator account configured in compose.yml and follow Getting Started to create the first Action and Operation.

    Open http://localhost:8080/apps/fusio
