About Routebase

Routebase uses a continuously updated API living spec as the shared source for interface collaboration, with changes syncing to documentation, mock servers, tests, and monitoring. The platform provides API design, testing, and documentation workflows, with a built-in MCP server that lets agents design, lint, and test through the same interface as the team. It also supports chained scenarios, row-by-row dataset runs, scheduled jobs, CI gates through CLI and GitHub Action, and OWASP API Top 10 scanning.

    FAQ

    Chain cases into scenarios, run suites row by row from datasets, schedule runs with cron, or use CLI and GitHub Action to set CI gates; OWASP API Top 10 scans can also be configured as CI gates.
    At signup, choose EU or US data residency; the workspace stays in the selected region. Both regions run on Microsoft Azure.
