Chef Software

Chef Software is the DevOps automation company behind Chef Infra, Chef InSpec, Chef Habitat, and Chef Automate, now part of Progress Software. Chef pioneered infrastructure-as-code, letting teams define, deploy, and continuously enforce the configuration, compliance, and security posture of servers and applications across data centers and cloud at any scale. Chef Automate exposes a REST API (generated from gRPC service definitions via grpc-gateway) for managing compliance reporting, node management, configuration management, secrets, data feeds, event feeds, IAM (users, teams, tokens, policies, rules), and the application service catalog. Authentication is via API tokens presented in the api-token HTTP header. Chef also ships a deep open-source ecosystem of Ruby client tooling (chef-client, InSpec, Ohai, Berkshelf, chef-cli, knife) distributed on RubyGems, all developed in the open on the chef GitHub org.

Chef Software publishes 30 APIs on the APIs.io network, including ApplicationsService API, Authorization API, Cds API, and 27 more. Tagged areas include Company, DevOps, Infrastructure Automation, Configuration Management, and Compliance.

The Chef Software catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Chef Software’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, pricing, and 30 more developer resources.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
