Bump.sh: vendor profile
In short
Bump.sh gates its agent features behind an Ask AI setting. Switched on, it adds a /mcp server, .md copies and a root llms.txt to an API doc or hub. bump.sh itself returned 404 for /llms.txt on 2026-11-05. The product renders only OpenAPI, AsyncAPI and Arazzo content. Basic costs $50 a month.

Bump.sh Docs platform
Hosted API reference portals built from OpenAPI and AsyncAPI files. With Ask AI on, each doc or hub gets /llms.txt, a .md copy of every page and a /mcp server; sitemaps and generated page titles and descriptions come by default.

What it does for this layer
- Bump.sh ties its agent features to an Ask AI switch in each doc or hub's settings; turning it on adds a /mcp server, a .md copy of each page and a root llms.txt. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh serves the markdown copy of an API doc page when .md is appended to its URL; on a custom domain the doc root uses /source.md instead. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- The doc MCP server Bump.sh exposes at /mcp offers list, search (up to 20 results), get_pages (up to 10 URLs per call) and changelog tools, and only works for public docs and hubs. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh shipped Ask AI links to ChatGPT and Claude, markdown rendering of API docs and llms.txt in one product update dated 2025-12-08. [primary source, 2025-12-08] source, read 5 November 2026.
- A Bump.sh llms.txt lists topics, endpoint groups and operations with links to their .md pages, as shown in the train-travel-api example on its SEO & GEO help page. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh writes a sitemap.xml for every public API doc and a sitemap_index.xml for each hub that groups the sitemaps of the docs it contains. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh builds page titles as node title, API name plus API documentation, and branch name, and caps meta descriptions at 160 characters, falling back to a generated sentence when info.description is empty. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Since a 2025-09-17 update Bump.sh reads an x-metaTags array in the OpenAPI definition and writes each name and content pair as a meta tag in the page head. [primary source, 2025-09-17] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh's 2026-06-23 update reports doc pages up to 5 times faster, partly from deeper caching so most requests hit pre-generated content. [primary source, 2026-06-23] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh launched a separate MCP platform on 2026-03-26 that turns Arazzo or Flower workflow files into MCP servers; the post called it a closed beta. [primary source, 2026-03-26] source, read 5 November 2026.
- A Bump.sh update of 2026-07-15 added list_changes and get_change tools so AI clients on a doc MCP server can read the API changelog. [primary source, 2026-07-15] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh lists Basic at $50 per month (10 API docs, 5 MCP tools, custom domain) and Pro at $120 per month (30 API docs, 50 MCP tools, private MCP servers) with a 14-day trial; a Custom tier adds SSO and reverse proxy mode. [primary source, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Bump.sh says MongoDB, Elastic and Lightspeed are among the teams that publish APIs with it. [vendor claim] source, read 5 November 2026.
- On 2026-11-05 the operation page operation-get-stations in Bump.sh's train-travel-api example returned 200 text/markdown at 4,288 bytes for Accept: text/markdown, the same as its .md URL, with Vary: Accept,Accept-Encoding. [observed, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.
- On 2026-11-05 a made-up operation path in that Bump.sh example doc returned HTTP 404, and the HTML of the real operation page contained its title text six times with no JSON-LD block. [observed, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.

What it does not do
- Bump.sh only renders API reference content from OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or Arazzo files plus topics, so it is not a general site builder for product guides or marketing pages.
- Bump.sh's SEO & GEO page covers sitemaps, titles, descriptions and llms.txt but says nothing about robots.txt control or JSON-LD output.
