The intelligent documentation platform that keeps itself up to date
Write in Markdown or MDX in your own repository. Mintlify handles hosting, search and navigation, but your files and Git history stay yours if you ever leave.
Every site can expose an MCP server, llms.txt and agent optimizations so AI clients and assistants find, read and cite your documentation accurately.
The Assistant answers reader questions with citations from your docs, while Autopilot continuously drafts updates when it detects that content has drifted from reality.
Generate a full API reference from an OpenAPI specification with a built-in playground, plus version and language navigation for multiple releases and translations.
A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
