# Mintlify Admin MCP server

> Edit, publish and manage Mintlify docs: pages, navigation, settings, workflows and pull requests.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/mintlify-admin
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.mintlify.com` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Docs & Knowledge](https://mcp.tc/c/docs-knowledge)
- Vendor: Mintlify
- Homepage: <https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/mintlify-mcp>

## About

Connects AI tools to the Mintlify dashboard with write access to a docs project. You can edit pages, restructure navigation, update docs.json, open pull requests, change settings and create workflows. One connection can reach and switch between all projects in an organization.

Runs as a hosted service at https://mcp.mintlify.com. Users sign in with their Mintlify account through an OAuth login in the browser, and the session inherits their dashboard permissions. Credentials for non-interactive use are also available for gateways and environments without a browser. Project management changes apply immediately, so connect only trusted clients.

## What it can do

- Edit documentation pages on a chosen branch
- Restructure site navigation and update docs.json
- Open pull requests for content changes
- Change project settings
- Create and manage workflows
- Switch between projects in an organization

## Example prompts

- "Update the quickstart page to mention the new CLI flag and open a pull request."
- "Move the Webhooks page under the API section in the navigation."
- "Create a workflow that reviews new docs changes each week."
- "Change the site's primary color in the docs settings."

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http mintlify-admin https://mcp.mintlify.com
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **mintlify-admin** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Mintlify sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Mintlify Admin** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.mintlify.com
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Mintlify asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Mintlify%20Admin&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.mintlify.com>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.mintlify.com` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Mintlify asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://mcp.mintlify.com` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Mintlify to sign in.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=mintlify-admin&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5taW50bGlmeS5jb20ifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mintlify-admin": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mintlify.com"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=mintlify-admin&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.mintlify.com%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"mintlify-admin","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.mintlify.com"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "mintlify-admin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mintlify.com"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mintlify-admin": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.mintlify.com"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add mintlify-admin --url https://mcp.mintlify.com
codex mcp login mintlify-admin
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.mintlify-admin]
url = "https://mcp.mintlify.com"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http mintlify-admin https://mcp.mintlify.com
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth mintlify-admin` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mintlify-admin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mintlify.com"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.mintlify.com`.
