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.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
