Frequently asked questions
What is Routebase?
Design, mock, test, document and monitor your APIs from one living OpenAPI spec.
How do I install Routebase?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http routebase 'https://mcp.routebase.dev/?region={region}'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Routebase need an API key?
Yes. It expects ROUTEBASE_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Who maintains Routebase?
It is published by dev.routebase. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
