AI-Native

Your APIs become agent tools

Routebase ships an MCP server out of the box. Agents design, lint, and test through the same interface your team uses — no glue code.

80+ MCP tools covering the full API lifecycle
Agents create endpoints, run test suites, and lint specs
Generate governance rules straight from your spec

API Governance

Catch drift before your consumers do

Scheduled monitors validate live responses against your spec and flag every divergence — missing fields, type mismatches, undocumented additions.

Live responses validated against the spec, continuously
Breaking changes flagged with field-level diffs
Missing fields, extra fields, type mismatches — every divergence classified

Developer Workflow

Branch, review, merge — for specs

Draft on a spec branch, open a merge request, ship what survives review. Breaking-change checks built in.

Spec branches isolate work in progress
Merge requests with review and approval flow
Conflict and breaking-change detection before merge

Frequently asked questions

How does the 14-day Pro trial work?

Every new account starts on a full Pro trial — all features unlocked for 14 days. No credit card and no plan selection; the trial starts the moment you sign up.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your workspace automatically moves to the Free plan. Nothing is deleted — projects, specs, and history are retained, and you can upgrade any time to pick up where you left off.

Do I need a credit card to get started?

No. You only enter payment details when you choose a paid plan.

Where is my data stored?

You choose EU or US data residency when you sign up, and your workspace stays in that region. Both regions run on Microsoft Azure.

Can I import my existing APIs?

Yes — import OpenAPI specs directly, or bring collections from Postman or Insomnia. From there, your spec is the single source of truth.

How do AI agents connect to Routebase?

Every workspace exposes a built-in MCP server. Agents like Claude or Cursor discover your APIs as tools and can design, lint, and test specs — under the same permissions as your team.

Is Enterprise really self-service?

Yes. Enterprise starts at 25 seats and you subscribe directly in the app — SAML SSO, SCIM, and audit log export included. No sales call required.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, in one click. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then the workspace downgrades to Free with all data retained.

Ready to ship on it?

Routebase is live. Design your API once — docs, mocks, tests, and monitoring all follow from the same source.
