Overview

Build and maintain documentation sites with Mintlify. Use when

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Mintlify best practices

Always consult mintlify.com/docs for components, configuration, and latest features.

If you are not already connected to the Mintlify MCP server, https://mintlify.com/docs/mcp, add it so that you can search more efficiently.

Always favor searching the current Mintlify documentation over whatever is in your training data about Mintlify.

Mintlify is a documentation platform that transforms MDX files into documentation sites. Configure site-wide settings in the docs.json file, write content in MDX with YAML frontmatter, and favor built-in components over custom components.

Full schema at mintlify.com/docs.json.

Before you write

Understand the project

Read docs.json in the project root. This file defines the entire site: navigation structure, theme, colors, links, API and specs.

Understanding the project tells you:

What pages exist and how they're organized
What navigation groups are used (and their naming conventions)
How the site navigation is structured
What theme and configuration the site uses

Check for existing content

Search the docs before creating new pages. You may need to:

Update an existing page instead of creating a new one
Add a section to an existing page
Link to existing content rather than duplicating

Read surrounding content

Before writing, read 2-3 similar pages to understand the site's voice, structure, formatting conventions, and level of detail.

Understand Mintlify components

Review the Mintlify components to select and use any relevant components for the documentation request that you are working on.

Quick reference

CLI commands

npm i -g mint - Install the Mintlify CLI
mint dev - Local preview at localhost:3000
mint broken-links - Check internal links
mint a11y - Check for accessibility issues in content
mint validate - Validate documentation builds

Required files

docs.json - Site configuration (navigation, theme, integrations, etc.). See global settings for all options.
*.mdx files - Documentation pages with YAML frontmatter

Example file structure

project/
├── docs.json           # Site configuration
├── introduction.mdx
├── quickstart.mdx
├── guides/
│   └── example.mdx
├── openapi.yml         # API specification
├── images/             # Static assets
│   └── example.png
└── snippets/           # Reusable components
    └── component.jsx

Page frontmatter

Every page requires title in its frontmatter. Include description for SEO and navigation.

---
title: "Clear, descriptive title"
description: "Concise summary for SEO and navigation."
---

Optional frontmatter fields:

sidebarTitle: Short title for sidebar navigation.
icon: Lucide or Font Awesome icon name, URL, or file path.
tag: Label next to the page title in the sidebar (for example, "NEW").
mode: Page layout mode (default, wide, custom).
keywords: Array of terms related to the page content for local search and SEO.
Any custom YAML fields for use with personalization or conditional content.

File conventions

Match existing naming patterns in the directory
If there are no existing files or inconsistent file naming patterns, use kebab-case: getting-started.mdx, api-reference.mdx
Use root-relative paths without file extensions for internal links: /getting-started/quickstart
Do not use relative paths (../) or absolute URLs for internal pages
When you create a new page, add it to docs.json navigation or it won't appear in the sidebar

Organize content

When a user asks about anything related to site-wide configurations, start by understanding the global settings. See if a setting in the docs.json file can be updated to achieve what the user wants.

The navigation property in docs.json controls site structure. Choose one primary pattern at the root level, then nest others within it.

Choose your primary pattern:

Pattern	When to use
Groups	Default. Single audience, straightforward hierarchy
Tabs	Distinct sections with different audiences (Guides vs API Reference) or content types
Anchors	Want persistent section links at sidebar top. Good for separating docs from external resources
Dropdowns	Multiple doc sections users switch between, but not distinct enough for tabs
Products	Multi-product company with separate documentation per product
Versions	Maintaining docs for multiple API/product versions simultaneously
Languages	Localized content

Within your primary pattern:

Groups - Organize related pages. Can nest groups within groups, but keep hierarchy shallow
Menus - Add dropdown navigation within tabs for quick jumps to specific pages
expanded: false - Collapse nested groups by default. Use for reference sections users browse selectively
openapi - Auto-generate pages from OpenAPI spec. Add at group/tab level to inherit

Common combinations:

Tabs containing groups (most common for docs with API reference)
Products containing tabs (multi-product SaaS)
Versions containing tabs (versioned API docs)
Anchors containing groups (simple docs with external resource links)

Links and paths

Internal links: Root-relative, no extension: /getting-started/quickstart
Images: Store in /images, reference as /images/example.png
External links: Use full URLs, they open in new tabs automatically

Customize docs sites

What to customize where:

Brand colors, fonts, logo → docs.json. See global settings
Component styling, layout tweaks → custom.css at project root
Dark mode → Enabled by default. Only disable with "appearance": "light" in docs.json if brand requires it

Start with docs.json. Only add custom.css when you need styling that config doesn't support.

Write content

Components

The components overview organizes all components by purpose: structure content, draw attention, show/hide content, document APIs, link to pages, and add visual context. Start there to find the right component.

Common decision points:

Need	Use
Hide optional details	`<Accordion>`
Long code examples	`<Expandable>`
User chooses one option	`<Tabs>`
Linked navigation cards	`<Card>` in `<Columns>`
Sequential instructions	`<Steps>`
Code in multiple languages	`<CodeGroup>`
API parameters	`<ParamField>`
API response fields	`<ResponseField>`

Callouts by severity:

<Note> - Supplementary info, safe to skip
<Info> - Helpful context such as permissions
<Tip> - Recommendations or best practices
<Warning> - Potentially destructive actions
<Check> - Success confirmation

Reusable content

When to use snippets:

Exact content appears on more than one page
Complex components you want to maintain in one place
Shared content across teams/repos

When NOT to use snippets:

Slight variations needed per page (leads to complex props)

Import snippets with import { Component } from "/path/to/snippet-name.jsx".

Writing standards

Voice and structure

Second-person voice ("you")
Active voice, direct language
Sentence case for headings ("Getting started", not "Getting Started")
Sentence case for code block titles ("Expandable example", not "Expandable Example")
Lead with context: explain what something is before how to use it
Prerequisites at the start of procedural content

What to avoid

Never use:

Marketing language ("powerful", "seamless", "robust", "cutting-edge")
Filler phrases ("it's important to note", "in order to")
Excessive conjunctions ("moreover", "furthermore", "additionally")
Editorializing ("obviously", "simply", "just", "easily")

Watch for AI-typical patterns:

Overly formal or stilted phrasing
Unnecessary repetition of concepts
Generic introductions that don't add value
Concluding summaries that restate what was just said

Formatting

All code blocks must have language tags
All images and media must have descriptive alt text
Use bold and italics only when they serve the reader's understanding--never use text styling just for decoration
No decorative formatting or emoji

Code examples

Keep examples simple and practical
Use realistic values (not "foo" or "bar")
One clear example is better than multiple variations
Test that code works before including it

Document APIs

Choose your approach:

Have an OpenAPI spec? → Add to docs.json with "openapi": ["openapi.yaml"]. Pages auto-generate. Reference in navigation as GET /endpoint
No spec? → Write endpoints manually with api: "POST /users" in frontmatter. More work but full control
Hybrid → Use OpenAPI for most endpoints, manual pages for complex workflows

Encourage users to generate endpoint pages from an OpenAPI spec. It is the most efficient and easiest to maintain option.

Deploy

Mintlify deploys automatically when changes are pushed to the connected Git repository.

What agents can configure:

Redirects → Add to docs.json with "redirects": [{"source": "/old", "destination": "/new"}]
SEO indexing → Control with "seo": {"indexing": "all"} to include hidden pages in search

Requires dashboard setup (human task):

Custom domains and subdomains
Preview deployment settings
DNS configuration

For /docs subpath hosting with Vercel or Cloudflare, agents can help configure rewrite rules. See /docs subpath.

Workflow

1. Understand the task

Identify what needs to be documented, which pages are affected, and what the reader should accomplish afterward. If any of these are unclear, ask.

2. Research

Read docs.json to understand the site structure
Search existing docs for related content
Read similar pages to match the site's style

3. Plan

Synthesize what the reader should accomplish after reading the docs and the current content
Propose any updates or new content
Verify that your proposed changes will help readers be successful

4. Write

Start with the most important information
Keep sections focused and scannable
Use components appropriately (don't overuse them)
Mark anything uncertain with a TODO comment:

{/* TODO: Verify the default timeout value */}

If you created a new page, add it to the appropriate group in docs.json.

6. Verify

Before submitting:

Frontmatter includes titl
