Apideck vs Currents
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apideck and Currents — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apideck vs Currents: at a glance
What is Apideck?
Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
What is Currents?
Currents lists itself in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories.
Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. Since September it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments and a trace API. On November 3 it appeared in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories, so users connect from the listing without typing a server URL.

Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
◆ Current state
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
◆ Where it's heading
After a summer of new European accounting and HRIS connectors, the newest entry is maintenance driven by a vendor's auth change. Apideck now handles migrations inside the catalog by marking legacy connectors with a target.
◆ Prediction
The entries show a six-week gap before this one, so the cadence of new connectors is unclear; expect more migrations as vendors retire password-based access.
Currents
6.3INFRA · APIS
Currents lists itself in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories.
◆ Current state
Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. Since September it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments and a trace API. On November 3 it appeared in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories, so users connect from the listing without typing a server URL.
◆ Where it's heading
The agent-access stack is built; Currents is now working on distribution. Plugin directory listings put the OAuth MCP server in front of users inside the agents themselves, while the October Project Overview serves people reading the dashboard.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-directory listings or deeper Claude Code and Codex workflows built on the trace API.
