# Routebase

A hosted API-lifecycle tool built around one OpenAPI spec: a visual spec editor with branches and merge requests, mock servers, declarative test suites and OWASP API scans, published docs portals and uptime/contract monitors, all driven from the web app, a CLI, a REST API or an MCP server.

## Rules for an agent

- Claude apps can add https://mcp.routebase.dev as a custom connector and sign in with OAuth; Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code use `npx routebase-mcp init` with a scoped API key; CI uses the .NET CLI (`dotnet tool install --global Routebase.Cli`) against https://api.routebase.dev; every site page has a Markdown twin (append .md).
- Sold to businesses and freelancers only, not to consumers
- Give agents a scoped API key with only the permissions they need
- Free plan caps test runs and mock requests per month; check plan limits before scheduling suites

## Agent access

- llms.txt: https://routebase.dev/llms.txt
- MCP: https://mcp.routebase.dev (remote, OAuth 2.1) or stdio bridge via `npx routebase-mcp init`
