FAQ
Does Mintlify support OpenAPI?
Yes, Mintlify can parse OpenAPI specifications to automatically generate interactive API reference pages within your documentation.
What format are Mintlify docs written in?
Mintlify documentation is written in MDX (Markdown + JSX), allowing you to write standard text while embedding interactive React components.
How does the AI search work?
Mintlify Chat reads your documentation and uses an LLM to answer developer questions contextually, rather than just returning keyword search results.
