🔮 Roadmap sneak peek

We're continuing to invest in features that make building and running with Redocly even more powerful:

  • MCP servers – we released some MCP servers and we're still doing more... stay tuned.
  • AI assistant – we're running some experiments with an AI assistant – it's available in your projects.
  • Runtime logs – richer visibility into what's happening behind the scenes.
  • Catalog – richer ways to describe APIs, entities, and relationships.
  • Visual workflows builder – model API interactions visually.
  • Performance – faster response times and improved stability across large projects.

That's it for November! 🚀 As always, we'd love your feedback — let us know what you think!
