Cortex is a code generation tool that transforms API specifications and Markdown into typed SDKs, interactive documentation, and MCP servers from a single project configuration.
The tool solves the problem of maintaining consistency across API documentation, client libraries, and agent tooling by accepting multiple API specification formats—OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, and OpenRPC—alongside custom Markdown, then generating all outputs from these unified sources. It validates each source and displays a generation plan before producing the artifacts, allowing developers to preview what will be created.
Teams should adopt Cortex when they need to generate documentation and SDKs from existing API specifications without manually keeping them synchronized. It suits projects that serve both human developers and AI agents, since it produces interactive documentation for humans alongside an MCP server that exposes typed tools and project context to language models. The tool is particularly valuable for organizations managing multiple API specification formats, as it consolidates them into a single generation workflow rather than requiring separate tools for each format.
The project maintains active continuous integration with automated testing. Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase through regular updates and refinements to the generation pipeline.
