# Redocly: vendor profile

In short

Redocly writes llms.txt and clean .md copies by default, and one setting, llmstxt.hide, removes both. Sitemaps, canonical links and JSON-LD wait for the owner: no siteUrl in redocly.yaml means no sitemap, and no jsonLd object means no structured data. Annual billing puts Pro at $249 a month.

## At a glance

**standards.txt** redocly

```text
llms-txt               = supports
markdown-negotiation   = no statement
markdown-twin          = supports
initial-html           = supports
real-404               = no statement
vary-accept            = no statement
```

3 supports, 0 partial or announced, 3 no statement.

**Redocly** Docs platform

Redocly is a docs-as-code platform for API docs whose sites ship llms.txt, clean .md copies, markdown on Accept: text/markdown, an MCP server and WebMCP tools, with sitemaps, canonical links and JSON-LD driven by redocly.yaml.

## What it does for this layer

-   Redocly says Redoc began at Rebilly, a Texas payments company that wrote its own documentation tool after Swagger UI let it down, and that Redocly later launched as a paid SaaS. \[vendor claim\] [source](https://redocly.com/about), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly writes /sitemap.xml and adds rel=canonical links only once siteUrl is set in redocly.yaml, and on versioned projects only the default version is marked canonical. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly emits JSON-LD only when the owner writes a jsonLd object in redocly.yaml or page front matter and picks the Schema.org type. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly validates links and redirects while content is added, and its built-in CI/CD jobs stop a project with link errors from publishing. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly's llmstxt.hide option switches off both llms.txt and the clean Markdown copies of the pages it lists, and it defaults to false. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/config/seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly's llmstxt.excludeFiles setting takes file paths or glob patterns such as docs/\*\*/\*.md, including negated globs, to keep pages out of llms.txt. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/config/seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly marks WebMCP experimental and publishes tools such as search\_docs, read\_page and navigate\_page automatically; browser support is an origin trial in Chrome 149 and Edge 150. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/customization/webmcp), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly's Visibility tag targets a block at humans or at agents and decides what reaches the Markdown version of a page. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/ai-ready), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly's Realm changelog lists faster server-side rendering for OpenAPI reference pages with heavily reused schemas, confirming reference pages render on the server. \[primary source\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/changelog-realm), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly Pro costs $249 a month billed annually, $2,988 a year, with unlimited seats, readers and Git contributors and an MCP server for the docs. \[primary source, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/pricing), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly charges $390 a year for each project beyond the 3 in Pro or the 10 in Scale, the $729-a-month plan billed annually. \[primary source, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/pricing), read 5 November 2026.
-   On 2026-11-05 Redocly returned markdown for redocly.com/docs/platform/ai-ready when asked with Accept: text/markdown, yet the only Vary value it sent was Cookie. \[observed, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/ai-ready), read 5 November 2026.
-   Appending .md to redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo on 2026-11-05 returned HTTP 200 text/markdown of 5,184 bytes. \[observed, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/config/seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   A made-up path under redocly.com/docs returned HTTP 404 text/html on 2026-11-05 even when the request asked for text/markdown. \[observed, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo), read 5 November 2026.
-   Redocly's own SEO docs page carried no application/ld+json block in its initial HTML on 2026-11-05, in line with JSON-LD being opt-in. \[observed, 2026-11-05\] [source](https://redocly.com/docs/platform/content/realm-seo), read 5 November 2026.

## Standards

| Standard | Status | What the vendor's pages say | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| llms-txt | supports | The AI-ready docs page describes a generated llms.txt in the llmstxt.org shape. | source |
| markdown-negotiation | no statement | Neither the AI-ready page nor the seo config reference mentions Accept-based negotiation, though redocly.com returned text/markdown to such a request on 2026-11-05. | source |
| markdown-twin | supports | llmstxt options govern the clean Markdown versions of pages listed in llms.txt. | source |
| initial-html | supports | The Realm changelog refers to server-side rendering of OpenAPI reference pages. | source |
| real-404 | no statement | The SEO docs read do not cover status codes, and redocly.com/docs gave a made-up path a 404 status on 2026-11-05. | source |
| vary-accept | no statement | Redocly docs never mention Vary, and both markdown and HTML responses on 2026-11-05 listed Cookie as the only varying header. | source |

## What it does not do

-   Redocly serves markdown on Accept: text/markdown but did not list Accept in Vary on 2026-11-05, so shared caches are not told the body depends on that header.
