# Bump.sh

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/docs-platforms/bump-sh/

Hosted platform that publishes API documentation portals from OpenAPI and AsyncAPI documents, with an automatic changelog and MCP server hosting.

## Who it suits

A team that wants an API documentation portal with an automatic changelog from OpenAPI and AsyncAPI files and MCP server hosting, at $50 a month for Basic, with customer data hosted in Europe.

Consider something else if You need the API Explorer or branches, which need Pro at $120 a month, or a standing free plan, since Bump.sh offers a 14-day trial only. It states no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification and is cloud-only.

## iScore

71 / 100 (80% interval 63–79), rank 8 of 10 in docs-platforms — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.
