Mintlify
What it is
Mintlify is a documentation and knowledge platform built for developers and AI agents. Its GitHub App can deploy documentation automatically when repository changes are pushed, and its API playground can be generated from OpenAPI or AsyncAPI schemas. Mintlify also generates a search MCP server that lets AI clients such as Claude, Cursor, Goose, and ChatGPT search and retrieve site content. Documentation sites can embed Intercom or Front support widgets through the integrations field in docs.json. Its collaborative editor is intended for engineers, product managers, customer support, marketing, and writers contributing to documentation. The Starter plan is free and includes five editor seats, a custom domain, web editor, authentication, MCP server, and API playground. Pro costs $450 a month, billed monthly, and includes unlimited editor seats, 10,000 monthly credits, and listed tools such as automations and preview deployments. Mintlify Desktop is in beta for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with stated minimum requirements for each platform.
