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