Cloudflare Tunnel vs Redocly: at a glance
What is Cloudflare Tunnel?
Cloudflare Tunnel ships its sixth October release, still with checksums only.
cloudflared keeps shipping point releases on a near-weekly cadence, and 2026.10.5 is the sixth this month. As with every release since September, the notes list package checksums for the standard and FIPS builds and nothing else.
What is Redocly?
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.
Cloudflare Tunnel vs Redocly: editorial side-by-side
Cloudflare Tunnel
5.0INFRA · APIS
Cloudflare Tunnel ships its sixth October release, still with checksums only.
◆ Current state
cloudflared keeps shipping point releases on a near-weekly cadence, and 2026.10.5 is the sixth this month. As with every release since September, the notes list package checksums for the standard and FIPS builds and nothing else.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has sped up from about two weeks to a few days, which suggests continuous patching rather than feature work. Without change notes, users can't tell from the feed which releases matter, so the release page tracks build activity, not product direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 2026.10.x or 2026.11.0 releases within days. The entries give no indication of what they will contain.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server Redocly generates for docs sites is becoming a configurable product surface of its own, following last week's MCP-URL page actions. Around it, Reunite work stays focused on making permissions and config behave the same in Reunite as on the published site.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP and AI assistant options in @redocly/config, with follow-up fixes as Realm Plus projects move onto the Reunite config path.
