Who reads developer docs now
The first Mintlify Research post: which agents read developer docs, which ones are new, what they look for, and how we measured it.
We gave agents better instructions
We built a CLI command that gives coding agents current Mintlify guidance, and at first it changed nothing. One line in AGENTS.md, plus tighter guidance, took Claude Sonnet's pass rate on our hardest tasks from about one in five to every run.
We built one page to help AI agents set up Mintlify
We watched agents struggle through Mintlify setup, fetching multiple pages, trying wrong commands, and sending long instructions. So we built setup.md, one starting point for getting connected.
Migrate to Mintlify with your agent
We turned what we learned from hundreds of migrations into mint migrate, so your agent can move your docs from 21 platforms, prove nothing went missing, and tell you what didn't carry over.
The Harness and Memory Architecture Behind Self-Updating Docs
How using fixed schema memory can improve agent performance at complex work.
Modern docs playbook
Five plays from Coinbase, Anthropic, Anaconda, RV Tech, and Decagon on making knowledge work for humans and agents.
Introducing Mintlify Base
Mintlify Base is now in beta. It's a workspace where people and agents work from the same specs, runbooks, and onboarding pages, kept current as your work changes.
Your wiki is becoming a codebase
Agents now write and read most of what companies know, but wikis are still updated by hand. Knowledge needs the same care engineers give code: tracked, reviewed, and kept current by agents.
Your agent can now publish your docs
Agents can publish a live Mintlify site from the terminal without an account or GitHub repository. You can claim the site within 24 hours.
Self-updating external docs is an infinite market
Product surface areas are growing exponentially, agents are becoming the main users of docs, and external agents can't read your primary sources. Together, these make self-updating external docs an infinite market.
Bring your own skills to the Mintlify agent
You can now upload custom skills to the agent in the web editor. Give it your style guide, review checklist, or page templates once, and it uses them whenever a task calls for them.
Improved Admin MCP
The Mintlify Admin MCP server can now leave comments and suggestions, and its edits no longer need a pull request.
Mintlify saves your team time and money, and now we can show you how.
The new Savings section in Mintlify Analytics shows the time and money your team saves with automations and the assistant.
Less is more: Improving editor performance
The Mintlify editor now opens, navigates, and edits very large pages up to 100x faster by doing less work.
Inside Mentha, Mintlify's new design system
Mentha is Mintlify's new design system, built with constraints, baked-in patterns, a cooler mint palette, and agents in mind.
Mintlify Pro for Startups and Open Source Projects
Current YC companies get 12 months of Mintlify Pro free. YC alumni and eligible startups get 50% off Pro for 12 months. Non-commercial open source projects get Pro free forever.
Explore your analytics with the Mintlify agent
The Mintlify agent can now answer analytics questions about your docs, so you can understand user and agent trends without leaving the editor.
Relaunching the Mintlify Free Plan
A lot of teams are still spinning up a docs site the hard way: a Next.js app, a markdown pipeline someone builds on their spare time, a search index that breaks and doesn't get fixed.
Meet Mintlify Desktop
Mintlify Desktop is a dedicated app for writing and managing documentation, from internal knowledge to public docs. Available in beta for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Announcing narration for your docs
Narration lets readers listen to supported documentation pages while Mintlify highlights each sentence and keeps their place on screen.
Mintlify now supports WebMCP
Mintlify documentation sites now expose typed WebMCP tools that browser agents can use to search, read, and navigate documentation directly.
Rise of the Knowledge Engineer
Agents are one of the largest audiences for company knowledge, accounting for 66% of measured web traffic across documentation powered by Mintlify. The emerging role responsible for keeping that knowledge accurate and retrievable is the knowledge engineer.
Highlights from the 2026 State of Knowledge Report
AI agents overtook humans as the primary readers across Mintlify-powered sites. In August alone, agents made 257 million web requests compared to 131 million human page loads, which means agent traffic now outnumbers human traffic by nearly 2:1.
Automations, rebuilt
We redesigned automations for quicker setup with pre-built automations optimized for common use cases. Choose the right automations for your project and you're set. No context engineering required.
