Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great if vitepress can support an interface for open API docs. This is a standard in most modern documentation tools these days

I agree this would be a great plugin to have. Starlight also has a similar plugin https://github.com/HiDeoo/starlight-openapi and docusaurus also has the @scalar/docusaurus plugin.

This is what I use to achieve a similar result with vitepress. It is not perfect, as it does not integrate with the sidebar, instead, replacing it entirely, and also light and dark mode toggles and search are duplicated. But it is a good enough for me.

api-docs.md

---
layout: page
sidebar: false
---

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ApiReference } from '@scalar/api-reference'
import '@scalar/api-reference/style.css'
import swagger from './swagger.json?url'
import Container from '../../components/Container.vue'
</script>


<Container>
<ApiReference
:configuration="{
    spec: {
    url: swagger,
    },
    defaultHttpClient: { targetKey:'http', clientKey:'http1.1'},
    theme: 'purple',
}" />
</Container>

components/Container.vue

template>
    <div class="page">
        <main class="content">
            <slot />
        </main>
    </div>
</template>

<style scoped>
.page {
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center
}
.content {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 1440px
}
</style>

I'm working in a Theme for this. There's still a lot to improve, and I'm eager to learn and make it better: https://github.com/enzonotario/vitepress-theme-openapi
