Cortex
Internal developer portal with AI service prediction and MCP server.
About
Cortex is an internal developer portal and engineering operations platform that maintains a live catalog of every service, agent, component, and dependency in an organization. Scorecards measure production readiness, security, and reliability automatically, while initiatives, self-service scaffolding, and a context graph turn the catalog into continuous organizational improvement.
Cortex leans into AI on two fronts: an AI-powered service prediction model that suggests ownership with over 90% accuracy and handles orphaned services, and a Cortex MCP server that connects the engineering catalog to AI coding agents so developers can query ownership, health, and on-call context in natural language from their IDE. It was named a Representative Vendor in Gartner's 2025 Market Guide for Internal Developer Portals.
