Fix It for $99/Month.

Connect your FastAPI app. Sync your OpenAPI spec automatically. Publish a beautiful docs portal your customers won't laugh at.

No $300/month bill. No manual uploads. No docs that drift out of sync the moment you ship a new endpoint.

Your AI coding assistant can now call your API directly. One URL. Already live.

Here's what “just use Swagger” actually costs you.

Your /docs endpoint is free. That's true. And it shows.

Goes down with your API

It goes down the moment your API goes down — which is exactly when your customers need it most. “Our docs are offline because we had an incident” is not a sentence you want to send to a prospect during a sales call.

Exposes your backend URL

Your backend URL is exposed to the world. Every time someone opens your docs, they’re hitting your live production server. Not ideal.

Looks like 2009

You’re building a modern API for modern problems. Swagger UI looks like it was designed during the Obama administration.

So you looked at Mintlify. It's beautiful. The AI search is slick. Your docs would actually look like Stripe's.

Then you saw the price.

/month — for docs.

For a 5-person startup that's $3,600/year for something your users see for 10 minutes while they figure out which endpoint to call. The math doesn't work. You went back to Swagger.

Then there's the drift problem. The one everyone ignores until someone files a support ticket.

Your spec and your docs get out of sync the moment you ship. New endpoint? Somebody has to remember to update the spec. Changed a response shape? Same. The documentation becomes a historical artifact. Your customers stop trusting it. Your own team stops reading it.

of API docs are outdated or inaccurately describe the current API.

unified.to, 2024 State of SaaS APIs

You know what the real cost of stale docs is?

Two hours per month, per engineer, maintaining something that shouldn't need maintaining.

At even a modest engineering hourly rate, that's more than $99/month. The ROI conversation is trivial. One engineer spending 2 hours less a month on doc maintenance pays for DocoAPI. The rest is margin.

What's inside

MCP

Let Cursor call your API.

Every DocoAPI project gets a hosted MCP server at {yourproject}.docoapi.com/mcp — live the moment you publish. Point Cursor, Claude, or Windsurf at that URL and your AI assistant can call your actual API endpoints. Real requests. Real responses. Not search. Not suggestions. Execute.

Mintlify’s MCP searches your docs. DocoAPI’s MCP calls your endpoints. Your API key never touches our servers — auth passes through in the request header, directly to your API.

Works with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf.

Auto-sync from your FastAPI app

Point DocoAPI at your /openapi.json URL or connect your GitHub repo. Your docs update every time you push. No manual uploads. No drift.

Beautiful docs portal that ships your brand

Your docs live at yourproject.docoapi.com. Dark mode, clean typography, mobile responsive. Looks like Stripe’s docs, not a framework default.

AI semantic search — included

Cmd+K. Type what you’re looking for in plain English. No extra charge. Mintlify charges $300/month for this. It’s included in your $99.

Interactive playground — test from the docs

Your users can try any endpoint directly from the docs. Auth headers, request body, live response — all in the browser. No Postman required. No "how do I test this?" support tickets.

Your spec history, safe

DocoAPI keeps 20 versions of your spec. Bad sync? Roll back in one click. You never lose a working state.

Your docs are behind. Your backend URL is exposed. Swagger UI is embarrassing you.

Fix all three problems before the end of today.

Start Your 14-Day Free Trial

Credit card required — cancel before day 14 and you won't be charged. No sales call. No demo required.

P.S. — If you're still reading, you already know your docs need work. The question is whether you'll fix it today or put it off for another quarter.

At $99/month, the decision doesn't require a business case. One engineer spending 2 hours less a month on doc maintenance pays for it before the trial ends.

The trial is 14 days. A credit card is required upfront — cancel before day 14 and you won't be charged. The worst case is you spend 10 minutes connecting your FastAPI app, see what your docs could look like, and decide it's not for you. Cancel before day 14 and we never charge you.

The best case is you ship professional docs today, your customers stop asking “is this endpoint still live?”, and you stop paying Mintlify tax.
