  Cortex is an Engineering Operations (EngOps) platform and internal developer
  portal that helps engineering teams catalog services, enforce production
  readiness with scorecards, automate self-service workflows, and surface
  engineering intelligence across their organization. Cortex centralizes data
  from observability, CI/CD, source control, on-call, and SaaS tooling and
  exposes it through a REST API used to integrate the catalog with platform
  engineering and SRE workflows.

    description: >-
      The Cortex REST API exposes the service catalog, scorecards, initiatives,
      entity relationships and dependencies, on-call assignments, custom data,
      and deployments managed in a Cortex workspace. Authentication is via
      personal or service access tokens, and entity descriptors can be
      retrieved as OpenAPI documents through a per-entity endpoint.

      Cortex exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI coding
      assistants and IDE agents query the service catalog, look up ownership,
      check scorecard scores, and run workflows directly from developer tools.
