TechWrit AI
What it is
TechWrit AI generates structured technical and UX documentation from source code, configuration files, API specifications, Markdown, plain text, and Word documents. It offers 17 purpose-built modes, including Code to Docs for API and developer documentation such as OpenAPI YAML. Writers can set style rules, terminology substitutions, product glossaries, prompts, and custom instructions. Output can be formatted for Trellis Docs, Docusaurus, or Notion. The hosted service is available through the web, a REST API, and a VS Code extension. Documentation also covers GitHub Actions checks for pull requests and an MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. The MCP wrapper runs locally through npx while analysis occurs in the TechWrit AI cloud. The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes 20 requests monthly. Pro costs $19 monthly or $15 monthly billed annually, with a 14-day trial. Team costs $24 per seat monthly or $19 billed annually, requiring at least two seats.
