MobilityAPI is the result of contributions from several individuals across two phases. The project's lineage starts with pg_mfserv (2024), an OGC API – Moving Features prototype that established the Python-server skeleton and the PyMEOS-based MobilityDB integration pattern. MobilityAPI (2025–) extends that foundation into a production-grade implementation with a structured resource layout, comprehensive tests, and OGC conformance.

- Maxime Schoemans (@mschoema) — initial commit, OGC API – Moving Features endpoint design, project skeleton.
- Victor Morabito (@MrMaxime1er) — main developer of pg_mfserv: column discovery, request/response handling, exception handling, route refactors, feature endpoints (collections, items, temporal geometry, temporal properties).
The pg_mfserv repository is preserved at MobilityDB/pg_mfserv in archived form.

resource/tree); test infrastructure; OGC conformance; HTTP-status-code translation; documentation; demo notebooks; AIS dataset integration.
The project benefits from the broader MEOS ecosystem, in particular:
- PyMEOS — the Python binding of MEOS that MobilityAPI consumes today.
- MobilityDB — the PostgreSQL extension providing the SQL surface backing MobilityAPI.
- OGC API – Moving Features Standard — the standard MobilityAPI implements.
