Mintlify + Cursor
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:
- Sign in to https://dashboard.mintlify.com → Settings → API Keys → Create API key.
- Copy the key (starts with
mint_). SetMINTLIFY_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 Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
Mintlifyis listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
Mintlifytools are now invokable.
