How to integrate Mintlify MCP with Atomic Agent

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Mintlify.

This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Mintlify account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Mintlify

Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.

Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

Connect Mintlify to Atomic Agent

1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
2. In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Mintlify. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Mintlify account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.

Headless setup

Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

The Mintlify MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mintlify account. It provides structured and secure access to your documentation projects, so your agent can search and read pages, edit content, manage navigation, update configuration, and save changes on your behalf.

• Documentation search and reading: Have your agent search every page for text or patterns and read the full content of any matching documentation page.
• Page creation and editing: Direct your agent to write complete pages, replace specific page content, and save documentation changes to Git.
• Navigation management: Let the agent list, create, update, move, or delete pages and sections in your documentation navigation.
• Branch and editing session control: Instruct your agent to list available branches, open an editing session for a deployment, review changed files and navigation updates, compare work with the main branch, or discard the session.
• Documentation configuration: Have your agent update top-level documentation settings outside the navigation structure.

Use Mintlify from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Mintlify in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.
