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.

The documentation platform that keeps docs accurate for people and AI
Write with a block-based visual editor, reusable content blocks, and custom components that keep large docs consistent.
Sync a GitHub or GitLab repo and branch, review, and merge documentation changes like pull requests.
Readers can ask your docs questions directly and get contextual answers pulled from your content.
GitBook scans for content that no longer matches your product and flags it for review before wrong answers spread.
