Open source
Duvlify
An open source documentation framework you own end to end.
You write Markdown and you get a fast static site with search, an API reference, generated share cards, and an MCP server that lets AI agents query your docs directly. No hosted service in the middle, no per-seat pricing, no watermark on your pages.

Why I built it
I wanted Mintlify-style docs without the monthly bill. I tried two approaches in a scratch repo, both worked, and the Astro one won because I could own the whole output. It now runs the AI Glot documentation.
Docs for agents, not only for people
Every page ships as Markdown next to the HTML, and the MCP server lets an agent search and read the docs as tools instead of scraping pages. That part turned out to matter more than I expected when I started.
A fresh clone just runs
Search works, the agent tools answer, and the tests pass with nothing configured, because every service integration defaults to off and retrieval falls back to an index built at compile time. Getting that right took longer than the features it protects.
