It does support server to server, but currently it does not play well with Mastodon due to its limited support of HTTP Signatures algorithms. I didn't get bothered enough by this yet to actually fix it on my side.
And there are a number of clients that work with this specific brand of client to server ActivityPub but I wrote all of them. The one that can be seen on the internet is a link aggregator similar to HN and (old) reddit, you can find a demo instance at https://brutalinks.tech.
ActivityPub has a section which deals with how clients and servers should communicate with each other (called Client to Server - C2S - in the spec). So it's the same vocabulary and operations with slightly different side effects, but most servers don't implement it because it's not "specified enough". That's why developers generally just use the Mastodon API.
Yep, I know. That's why I was asking if there was any support other than C2S because that does somewhat limit your server to "basically zero client support" which reduces its usefulness as an example somewhat?

Ah, sorry, I should have said "client API" rather than just API there.
