La Rebelion Labs
La Rebelion Labs is a practitioner-led community and product lab building developer-first and AI-first tools for APIs, AI agents, MCP infrastructure, developer experience, automation, agent orchestration, and self-hosted/cloud-native systems. Its stated goal is to help developers and organizations operate next-generation AI infrastructure with more control, clarity, and trust.

Products & Services
CLI and SaaS tooling that turns OpenAPI-described APIs into MCP tools and exposes Arazzo workflows as higher-level MCP tools. It preserves the API as the source of truth, supports proxying existing backends, and is available through npm/Bun, native binaries, Docker, managed cloud, on-premise, and air-gapped deployment paths.
Managed execution and orchestration for MCP servers, including autoscaling, testing, cloud, on-premise, and long-running workflow support.
VS Code extension and agent harness for discovering OpenAPI/Arazzo contracts, previewing and running MCP servers, chatting with MCP servers, progressively discovering tools, analyzing MCP traffic and LLM rounds, and capturing other clients through a local proxy.
MCP development and registry services that standardize API-to-MCP exposure and let AI agents discover and consume governed MCP capabilities.
Market Position
La Rebelion Labs positions HAPI against bespoke MCP servers, generated wrapper code, shadow APIs, and agent platforms that duplicate business logic. Its differentiation is an API-first, contract-first approach: existing OpenAPI/Arazzo contracts remain authoritative while HAPI supplies MCP exposure, governance, deployment, and deterministic workflows. This places it in the API-to-MCP gateway/runtime and agent-infrastructure category, competing conceptually with custom MCP implementations, MCP gateways/registries, and agent orchestration platforms.
Leadership
Founders
Adrian Escutia
Founder of La Rebelion Labs and a hands-on principal systems architect with 20+ years designing cloud-native, automation-driven platforms. Public profiles identify experience at HCLTech and Hewlett Packard Enterprise; his GitHub profile describes his focus as simplifying AI and complex API-system integrations with HAPI MCP.
Executive Team
Adrian Escutia
Founder
Principal systems architect and builder focused on cloud-native platforms, APIs, DevOps, Kubernetes, automation, and AI infrastructure; public profiles cite HCLTech and Hewlett Packard Enterprise experience.
Founding Story
The lab was not started as a conventional VC-backed startup idea. Adrian Escutia says it grew from years of enterprise architecture, platform engineering, DevOps, Kubernetes, automation, APIs, cloud-native systems, and operational pain in enterprise, telco, air-gapped, and regulated environments. The projects gradually connected into an AI infrastructure ecosystem built in public, with community support and memberships helping sustain development.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Community memberships and sponsorships, SaaS/managed MCP capacity, commercial and enterprise licensing, support, private deployment, custom SLA, and white-label arrangements. HAPI's commercial model charges for execution capacity; enterprise licensing is based on API-estate capacity/API Units rather than MCP tool count.
Pricing Tiers
Blog/tutorials, OSS repositories, usage-limited SaaS, and newsletter.
Free benefits plus AI Skills library, DevOps scripts/tools, Rebel-U basics, Discord, and limited MCP hosting quota.
Community benefits plus LRL-CL source access, full Rebel-U library, and priority support.
Pro benefits plus API access, early access/beta, and monthly office hours.
Commercial license, air-gapped/on-premise deployment, custom SLA, dedicated support, white-label option, unlimited seats, and private roadmap input.
36,000 MCP executions/month and 20 executions/minute; local/low-volume experimentation with packages, binaries, Docker, community support, and cloud or on-premise use.
250,000 MCP executions/month and 120/minute with commercial production capacity, standard support, managed cloud, and production plugins.
2 million MCP executions/month and 600/minute with priority support, sustained workloads, managed cloud, plugins, and add-ons.
