Endpoints are declared with the api() function (TypeScript) or //encore:api annotation (Go), specifying method, path, expose (public vs internal), auth, and optional sensitive flags. Encore parses the source to derive request/response schemas from TypeScript interfaces or Go structs, enforces runtime validation, and wires up service-to-service calls without manual HTTP plumbing. Raw endpoints, fallback routes, path parameters, query, header, and cookie parameters are all first-class. - aid: encore-dev:encore-infrastructure-api name: Encore Infrastructure API tags: - Backend - Infrastructure - Databases - PubSub - Caching - ObjectStorage - Cron - Secrets humanURL: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives properties: - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives/databases type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives/pubsub type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives/cron-jobs type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives/object-storage type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/primitives/secrets type: Documentation - url: json-schema/encore-infrastructure-resource-schema.json type: JSONSchema description: >- Encore's Infrastructure from Code API lets developers declare cloud infrastructure resources — PostgreSQL databases, Pub/Sub topics and subscriptions, object storage buckets, cron jobs, caches, and secrets — as typed code primitives inside their backend. Encore parses these declarations to provision matching infrastructure locally (Docker-free) for development and on AWS or GCP in production via Encore Cloud, without Terraform, YAML, or manual wiring. - aid: encore-dev:encore-platform-api name: Encore Cloud Platform API tags: - Cloud - Deployment - CICD - Environments - Multicloud humanURL: https://encore.dev/docs/platform properties: - url: https://encore.dev/docs/platform type: Documentation - url: https://encore.cloud type: Portal - url: openapi/encore-platform-openapi.yml type: OpenAPI description: >- Encore Cloud is the optional hosted platform that takes an Encore application from `git push encore` to a running production deployment in the customer's own AWS or GCP account. The platform handles infrastructure provisioning (managed Postgres, SQS/SNS or Pub/Sub, S3/GCS buckets, IAM, secrets), CI/CD, preview environments per pull request, distributed tracing ingest, metrics, logs, and the developer dashboard at app.encore.cloud. - aid: encore-dev:encore-observability-api name: Encore Observability API tags: - Observability - Tracing - Metrics - Logs - DevDashboard humanURL: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/observability/tracing properties: - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/observability/tracing type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/observability/dev-dash type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/observability/flow type: Documentation - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/observability/service-catalog type: Documentation - url: json-schema/encore-trace-event-schema.json type: JSONSchema description: >- Encore captures distributed traces, structured logs, and runtime metrics automatically from every api(), database query, Pub/Sub publish, cron tick, and outbound HTTP call. The local Development Dashboard surfaces traces, the service catalog, an auto-generated architecture flow diagram, the database explorer, and the API explorer. In production, traces and metrics ship to Encore Cloud (20M events/month included on Pro) or forward to Datadog, Grafana, Sentry, and other third-party backends. - aid: encore-dev:encore-mcp-server name: Encore MCP Server tags: - AI - MCP - ModelContextProtocol - AgenticAI - DeveloperTools humanURL: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/cli/mcp properties: - url: https://encore.dev/docs/ts/cli/mcp type: Documentation - url: https://modelcontextprotocol.io type: Documentation description: >- Encore ships a built-in Model Context Protocol server (`encore mcp start` for SSE, `encore mcp run` for stdio) that exposes the live Encore application — services, middleware, auth handlers, databases, Pub/Sub topics, cron jobs, buckets, traces, metrics, source files, and documentation — to AI agents like Cursor and Claude Code. This lets agents reason about and modify a running backend with full context, including verifying that a newly added publish call shows up in traces. common: - url: https://github.com/encoredev name: GitHub Organization type: GitHubOrganization -

Developers describe APIs, databases, Pub/Sub, object storage, caches, cron jobs, and secrets as typed code primitives; the framework provisions matching infrastructure locally with no Docker Compose, and Encore Cloud provisions equivalent managed resources in the customer's own AWS or GCP account. The platform ships built-in distributed tracing, a local development dashboard, auto-generated API docs and client SDKs, a Model Context Protocol server for AI agents, preview environments per pull request, and CI/CD — positioning Encore as an opinionated alternative to PaaS and a productivity layer on top of hyperscaler infrastructure. image: https://encore.dev/assets/branding/icon.svg humanURL: https://encore.dev baseURL: https://encore.dev tags: - Backend - Framework - Cloud - TypeScript - Go - DeveloperTools - InfrastructureFromCode - Microservices - Observability - Multicloud maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: info@apievangelist.com X: apievangelist url: https://apievangelist.com specificationVersion: '0.16'
