Mintlify Docs

Getting Started

Welcome! Follow the instructions below to learn how to deploy, update and supercharge your documentation with Mintlify.

Creating the Repository

Mintlify docs are rendered from MDX files and configurations defined in our starter kit. We use GitHub to integrate your docs with your code, and make source control effortless. Onboard through the dashboard or clone our starter kit to get started.

Updating the Content

Mintlify enables you to easily customize the style, structure, and content of your docs.

Easily customize colors, logos and buttons among other configurations in our docs.json file. Start with these basic configurations:

"name": "Your Company"
"logo": {
  "light": "/logo/light.svg",
  "dark": "/logo/dark.svg",
  "href": "https://yourcompany.com"
},
"favicon": "/favicon.svg",
"colors": {
  "primary": "#2AB673",
  "light": "#55D799",
  "dark": "#117866",
},

A full list of supported configurations can be found at global settings.

Add content with simple MDX files. Initiate your pages with this template:

---
title: "Page Title"
sidebarTitle: "Sidebar title (optional - if different from page title)"
description: "Subtitle (optional)"
---

Learn more about adding images, tables, lists, and more using the MDX syntax. We also offer a wide array of components.

You can easily set up your API references using an OpenAPI document.

Add your openapi.yaml or openapi.json file into your docs repository or define the openapi field in docs.json with a URL.

"openapi": "link-to-your-openapi-file"

Use our scraper to autogenerate your OpenAPI endpoints files as:

npx @mintlify/scraping@latest openapi-file <path-or-url-to-openapi-file>

Finally, include the generated endpoint MDX files to your docs.json under navigation.

For a complete guide on using Mintlify with OpenAPI, check out this guide. This guide explains how to configure your API authentication methods. For manual API references definition, explore our syntax.

We provide a white-glove migration service as part of our Enterprise plan. Interested? You can request it by contacting us.
