Provides real-time documentation retrieval from Mintlify's indexed developer documentation, returning cited answers to implementation questions.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Mintlify Index How do I set up authentication in Next.js with NextAuth?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Real-time documentation retrieval for coding agents.
Mintlify Index answers implementation questions (syntax, configuration, migration, setup) with compact, cited context assembled from primary-source developer documentation and live web search. It ships as a hosted MCP server exposing a single context tool.
npx mint indexThe interactive installer detects your coding agents and adds the hosted MCP server (https://index.mintlify.com/mcp) plus a usage rule so the agent reaches for it automatically. Supported clients:
Claude Code
Cursor
VS Code (Copilot)
Codex
OpenCode
Windsurf
Zed
Non-interactive setup:
npx mint index --claude --cursor --yes # specific clients, skip prompts
npx mint index --project # write project-level config instead of globalAny other MCP client can be pointed at the server manually:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mintlify-index": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://index.mintlify.com/mcp"
}
}
}The context tool takes a query (plus optional product, includeDomains, excludeDomains, and a tokenBudget up to 6000) and returns a cited answer in one call.

This is a source release of the hosted service. It is not runnable standalone: docs ingestion, the Chroma corpus, auth, and infrastructure live in the Mintlify platform and are represented here by small interfaces in src/internal/. src/server.ts shows how the pieces wire together in production.
Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections. Dates show when Glama detected each change.
