“Nobody understands my project, not even me three months later”

App creators whose project has no documentation: neither users nor potential collaborators can find their way around, and you yourself forget how everything works.

Recommended agent: Mintlify
💰 About $0 to $25/month (free plan for small projects). Level: Intermediate 🌍 United States Permanent free plan (small projects)

Mintlify (mintlify.com): it analyzes your code and generates clear, elegant documentation — user guides, references, and examples, published on a beautiful site.

How it works

Trigger: You connect your code repository — analyzes the project and generates guides, references, and examples, and you get a documentation site ready to review.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Create a Mintlify account.
  2. Connect your code repository.
  3. The AI generates the documentation's full structure.
  4. Review, complete the concrete examples, then publish.
⚠️ Guardrails: Check that the generated documentation reveals neither API keys nor internal information. Update it with every major project change.
🔧 Technical details
Installation
hybrid — documentation hosted in Mintlify's cloud and synced from a Git repository, local CLI for preview and editing, and self-hosting possible on Enterprise.
Prerequisites
A Git repository containing the documentation (.md/.mdx files and docs.json); for the CLI, Node.js v20.17.0 or later, installation via “npm i -g mint” (the current package is “mint”).
Hardware
no sizing published for the self-hosted deployment (Helm chart).
Self-hosting
yes — Enterprise only: deployment via the Helm chart from the mintlify/enterprise repository, or static export (HTML/CSS/JS bundle with no runtime dependency) hostable on any static storage or CDN; cloud, customer-hosted, and air-gapped modes, with varying feature availability (search, assistant, analytics configurable).
API & integrations
API: yes — REST API on Pro and Enterprise plans (deployments, embedded assistant, analytics export, documentation management). · SDK: Not documented · CLI: yes — “mint” CLI: “mint dev” for local preview, “mint agent setup” to install the skills and the Admin MCP in Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor (OAuth connection). · Webhooks: yes — webhooks documented from the Pro plan (pricing page). · MCP: yes — documentation MCP server included from the Starter plan, and Admin MCP installed by the CLI.
Models
Third-party model providers not named in the official sources consulted: exact list non_documente. BYOK (personal keys) available on the Enterprise plan.
Data
Content is synced from the client's Git repository; per the pricing page FAQ, third-party model providers power the AI features and none of them trains its models on client data; EU hosting available on Enterprise. Detailed data retention beyond analytics exports: non_documente.
Documented limits
API keys: maximum 10 key creations per hour per organization (Admin “mint_” and Assistant “mint_dsc_” keys, configurable expiration, IP/CIDR allowlist, read/write scopes). Static export: only 1 active job per project and 10 job starts per hour per organization. Pro plan: 10,000 credits per month (Assistant: 25 credits per answer; Automations: 250 credits per update).
Operations
On Enterprise: SSO, SCIM, RBAC, audit logs, security reviews, and custom SLAs; preview deployments, Git sync on all plans, analytics exports via API (feedback, assistant conversations, searches, views, visitors). SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance announced.
