Mintlify is a docs hosting platform — beautiful pages, search, components. It doesn't write your docs for you, and it doesn't react to code merges. docs-keeper sits one step earlier in the workflow: when your engineers merge a PR, we open a follow-up PR that updates the markdown files Mintlify (or any host) renders.

Frequently asked
Do I have to choose between them?
No — they're complementary. docs-keeper writes into your repo, Mintlify (or Docusaurus, MkDocs, etc.) renders what's in your repo. They share the same markdown files.
Will docs-keeper edit Mintlify-specific MDX components?
It edits the markdown around them, not the components themselves. The validation gate refuses changes that delete component imports or break MDX syntax.
