The record

API lifecycle: Routebase provides API design, mocking, testing, documentation, monitoring and MCP capabilities from one living specification.
API design: Its visual editor supports designing OpenAPI specifications with endpoints, schemas and versions.
Generated artifacts: Publishing a specification version generates the documentation portal and mock server, while tests and monitors validate that version.
Monitoring: Scheduled monitors validate live API responses against the specification and flag divergences with field-level differences.
MCP server: Routebase includes a native Model Context Protocol server so agents can design, lint and test APIs through the same interface.
Integrations: Integrations include event-driven webhooks, Slack and Microsoft Teams alerts, scoped API keys and MCP access for AI agents.
Security scanning: The Pro plan includes governance and security scanning, and Routebase documentation describes scanning against the OWASP API Security Top 10.
Data residency: Workspace data can be hosted in either the European Union or the United States, selected when the workspace is created.
Hosting model: Routebase is a hosted service in the EU or US and does not offer an on-premise or self-hosted edition.
Desktop and CLI: A native desktop app is available for macOS 10.15+ and Windows 10 or later, and the MCP CLI provides macOS, Windows and Linux builds.
Supported customers: The terms state that the service is directed exclusively at businesses, self-employed persons and freelancers acting commercially.
Availability: The production service provides an average availability of 99% per calendar year under the terms.
Support: Starter includes email support, while Enterprise includes dedicated support and an SLA.
OpenAPI migration: The Free plan includes OpenAPI import and export, and Routebase documentation describes importing OpenAPI YAML or JSON files.
