Cortex
Cortex is an Internal Developer Portal and service catalog used by platform and engineering teams to inventory services, libraries, domains, teams, on-call rotations, and resources; measure them against Scorecards (production readiness, security, SLO compliance, cost, AI usage); and drive developer-facing experiences through Initiatives, Workflows, and Scaffolder templates. Cortex pulls signals from GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Azure, GCP, Datadog, PagerDuty, Slack, Jira, Snyk, SonarQube, and many other integrations, and exposes a REST API and an MCP server so that humans and AI agents can query the catalog, scorecards, dependencies, and entity descriptors.
APIs
Cortex Catalog API
REST endpoints to list and retrieve catalog entities (services, libraries, domains, resources, teams) and their descriptors. Supports filtering by tag, type, group, and ownershi...
Cortex Scorecards API
REST endpoints to list Scorecards, fetch scores for a Scorecard across entities, and surface recommended next steps for improving an entity's score. Underpins production-readine...
Cortex Dependencies API
REST endpoints to list and inspect entity-to-entity dependencies (caller and callee) and the relationships used to build the service graph.
Cortex Initiatives API
REST endpoints to list and retrieve Initiatives - time-boxed cross-team programs that track Scorecard progress, owners, and deadlines.
Cortex Workflow Runs API
REST endpoints for managing and querying Workflow runs, used to drive developer self-service actions and scaffolding from the Cortex IDP.
Cortex MCP Server
Model Context Protocol server exposing Cortex catalog, scorecards, dependencies, and on-call data to AI agents and copilots through MCP tools and resources.
