Redocly
API documentation platform with AI search and MCP servers for developer portals.
About
Redocly is an API documentation and governance platform built around Realm, an integrated lifecycle product unifying Redoc, Revel, and Reef for documentation, developer portals, internal catalogs, and API scorecards. The Redocly CLI handles linting, bundling, and doc generation for OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and Arazzo specs.
Its 2025 releases added an AI assistant with AI Search and a floating Ask AI button, MCP server integration with connect-mcp tags and page actions for VS Code and Cursor, and OpenAPI 3.2 support. Enterprise tiers expose MCP servers with OAuth plus AI search so both human developers and AI coding assistants can query API documentation.
