Read documentation as Markdown

Every documentation page has a Markdown representation. Append .md to the page path, for example Apex documentation as Markdown. The page menu also provides copy and open-in-agent actions. Use the canonical HTML page URL when citing a source. Read a benchmark’s scope, date, methodology, and limitations before using its results in a product comparison.

Connect an agent to Apex

Start with the Apex agent connection guide. It explains how to reuse an existing account, workspace, and scan, and how to verify the connection with a read-only request. The hosted Apex tool server is https://ai.cantina.xyz/mcp. Read the current API guide for supported tools, authentication, scopes, and the OpenAPI specification. This documentation site’s own MCP integration provides documentation search. Connection setup and reading results do not start a scan. Starting a scan requires the user’s requested scope, authorization for the targets, and the applicable access and credits. Store credentials in the client’s secret storage or environment variables.
