# Show HN: Routebase – One OpenAPI spec drives your docs, mocks, tests, monitors > Source: > Published: 2026-08-26 11:49:59+00:00 # The single source of truth for your APIs One living spec drives your design, mocks, tests, and docs — and your agents work it like your team. 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required. The lifecycle ## Run the whole lifecycle from one spec ## Your APIs become agent tools Routebase ships an MCP server out of the box. Agents design, lint, and test through the same interface your team uses — no glue code. - 400+ MCP tools covering the full API lifecycle - Agents create endpoints, run test suites, and lint specs - Generate governance rules straight from your spec ## Catch drift before your consumers do Scheduled monitors validate live responses against your spec and flag every divergence — missing fields, type mismatches, undocumented additions. - Live responses validated against the spec, continuously - Breaking changes flagged with field-level diffs - Missing fields, extra fields, type mismatches — every divergence classified ## Branch, review, merge — for specs Draft on a spec branch, open a merge request, ship what survives review.

Every new account starts on a full Pro trial — all features unlocked for 14 days. No credit card and no plan selection; the trial starts the moment you sign up. ## What happens when the trial ends? Your workspace automatically moves to the Free plan. Nothing is deleted — projects, specs, and history are retained, and you can upgrade any time to pick up where you left off. ## Do I need a credit card to get started? No. You only enter payment details when you choose a paid plan. ## Where is my data stored? You choose EU or US data residency when you sign up, and your workspace stays in that region. Both regions run on Microsoft Azure. ## Can I import my existing APIs? Yes — import OpenAPI specs directly, or bring collections from Postman or Insomnia. From there, your spec is the single source of truth. ## How do AI agents connect to Routebase? Every workspace exposes a built-in MCP server. Agents like Claude or Cursor discover your APIs as tools and can design, lint, and test specs — under the same permissions as your team. ## Is Enterprise really self-service? Yes. Enterprise starts at 25 seats and you subscribe directly in the app — SAML SSO, SCIM, and audit log export included. No sales call required. ## Can I cancel anytime? Yes, in one click. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then the workspace downgrades to Free with all data retained. ## Ready to ship on it? Routebase is live. Design your API once — docs, mocks, tests, and monitoring all follow from the same source. 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required.
