Routebase
Routebase GmbH
Routebase is the single source of truth for your APIs. Design your OpenAPI spec once in a visual editor — no hand-edited YAML — and your documentation portal, mock servers, contract tests, and monitoring all derive from that one spec. Change the contract, publish, and Routebase catches what drifted before your consumers do: it validates live responses against the spec and flags every divergence with field-level diffs — missing fields, type mismatches, undocumented additions. Work on specs the way you work on code: branch, review, merge, with breaking-change detection before anything ships. Publish a docs portal on your own custom domain. Spin up realistic mocks so frontend and backend build in parallel. Run contract and security tests against any environment. Every workspace also ships a built-in MCP server, so your AI agents read and act on the same source of truth, under your team's permissions — no glue code.Starting Price: $9/month/user -
