What is Mintlify?
Mintlify is a web-based documentation platform for creating, publishing, and maintaining developer documentation and knowledge resources. It combines editing, content delivery, search, analytics, access controls, and AI-assisted maintenance in one system. Teams can work through its web editor or connect documentation stored in Git repositories.
The platform supports public documentation sites as well as authenticated resources. Its agent, assistant, and automation features help teams answer reader questions, improve content, and identify updates that should be made. Mintlify also provides tools designed to make published documentation usable by AI agents, including MCP and WebMCP support.
