Mintlify + Claude

Trigger Mintlify documentation updates, query analytics, and manage assistant queries via the Mintlify API. 5 tools, Bearer-token auth.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

MINTLIFY_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

com/docs/api-reference).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://dashboard.mintlify.comSettings → API Keys → Create API key.
  2. Copy the key (starts with mint_). Set MINTLIFY_API_KEY.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${MINTLIFY_API_KEY}.

Mintlify's API is scoped: most write operations (trigger update, manage content) are not exposed because Mintlify expects content to live in a git repo and update on push. The API focuses on:

  • Triggering re-deploys
  • Querying assistant (chat) interactions
  • Pulling analytics / search data

Out of scope here: page/content CRUD (manage via the git repo), team management, OAuth user actions.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. Open claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Mintlify
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
