## Keep an updated, comprehensive catalog of all API and AI services

  • *

    APIs, AI Models, MCP Servers, and Agents are first-class entities in Catalog, with documentation and versioning.

  • *

    Keep catalog current with no manual effort by pointing it to an MCP Server to fetch the server's tools, resources, and prompts automatically.

## Easy discovery

  • *

    Platform teams and builders can ask Catalog questions like "are there any agents that can summarize legal contracts?", instead of hunting across teams and tools.
