Developers
Build against Canopy, not just click through it.
Whatever you're building - a script, a CI step, an internal tool, or an AI agent - Both products expose first-class programmatic interfaces, including APIs, dashboards, CLI and SDK surfaces, with MCP tooling where a capability supports it. This page is the starting point; reference material lives on /docs.
Where to start
- Building grounded AI answers or workflows? Start with Cortex.
- Deploying an app? Start with Canopy Host.
- Want the full picture first? Read Platform.
Interfaces
Programmatic interfaces on both products, with capability-specific coverage.
Cortex for developers
OpenAI-compatible, drop-in ready.
Point existing OpenAI-client code at your Cortex project endpoint and get retrieval-augmented, cited answers back. Cortex has its own CLI and MCP server, separate from Canopy Host's.
Canopy Host for developers
Push to deploy, script the rest.
Everything the dashboard does - projects, environments, domains, variables, builds,
releases - is also available from the canopy CLI and the REST API. Canopy
Connect pipelines run identically whether triggered by a push, the CLI, or the API.
For platform and infrastructure engineers
Curious what actually runs your deploy?
You don't need to know this to ship on Canopy Host. If you want it anyway: Canopy Forest is the execution layer underneath, with its own page covering desired-vs-observed state, build/runtime separation, and the real infrastructure primitives it's built on.
