Live data. The internet is being read by agents. Real-time data across every site Mintlify powers.

## Agents vs human traffic

Live counters for the latest month: Agent requests, Human visits, and Agent share, followed by a monthly
bar chart of agent vs human traffic across Mintlify-hosted docs since January 2026. Figures refresh from live
analytics; see the [live page](/data) for current numbers.

## Agents at work today

Live ticker of agent activity across Mintlify-hosted docs (values increment in real time; see the
[live page](/data) for current numbers). Tracked stats: Pages read, Search requests, API requests, Feedback provided,
Content updates.

## The agent takeover

Human readership holds steady while agent readership compounds and takes over.

- 7.7x — Agent readership growth, February to August 2026. Humans grew 1.2x.
- 9% — Weekend drop in agent reading. Human reading drops 34%. Agents are visiting your site every day
  of the week.
- 4 min 19 sec — Average human visit. Agents leave in milliseconds.

## Usage by US state

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.

## The industry leaderboard

Fintech already went agent-first. Your industry is next.

Agent traffic across the most visited sites, grouped by industry, in August 2026.

| Industry                     | Agent share, Aug 2026 | Agent share, Feb 2026 | Sites |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------- | ----- |
| Fintech & payments           | 70%                   | 20.5%                 | 6     |

- 70% of docs sites serve more machine requests than human page loads. Seven in ten documentation sites on
  Mintlify are now read more by machines than by people.
- 34-70% agent share, depending on industry. Every industry rose between February and August 2026. They are
  all moving in the same direction, just at different speeds.

## MCP requests

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 filesystem are on pace to overtake search by the end of the year.

- 2,165,714 — MCP tool calls served, August 2026
- 69,862 — Average tool calls per day across every Mintlify MCP server.
- 6.0x — Growth in MCP tool calls, January to August 2026.

Tool mix:

- Search: 53% (1,150,929 calls)
- Filesystem: 47% (1,011,764 calls)

Agents navigate docs straight through the filesystem almost as often as they use the search index.

## Methodology

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.
