The internet is
being read by agents
Real-time data across every site Mintlify powers.
Agents vs Human traffic
in July
Human readership holds steady while agent readership compounds and takes over
Agent readership growth. Humans grew just 1.1x.
Peak agent reading hour (UTC). Agent traffic barely dips.
Average human visit. Agents leave in milliseconds.
Humans cluster in cities. Agents cluster in datacenters.
Requests to Mintlify-hosted docs by US state over the last 30 days. Human traffic follows population. Agent traffic follows cloud regions. Virginia, California, and Oregon dominate the map.
Crypto's docs already went agent-first. Your industry is next.

Agents read docs like a filesystem
Every Mintlify docs site ships an MCP server. Search is still the most common tool call, but direct calls straight to the docs filesystem are on pace to overtake search.
Average tool calls per day across every Mintlify MCP server.
Busiest single day: June 3.
Agents navigate docs straight through the filesystem almost as often as they use the search index.
Aggregated and anonymized across documentation hosted on Mintlify
Every figure on this page comes from the same request data grouped by human and agent traffic. Human traffic is measured client-side when a browser loads a page. Agent traffic is measured server-side from fetches of machine-readable content and requests from known AI user agents. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole number.
