Why switch
Mintlify has AI search, but holydocs has an autonomous writing agent that reviews your docs and submits PRs with improvements. Plus agentic RAG with multi-round tool calling for accurate, sourced answers.
Every holydocs project exposes a Model Context Protocol server, so AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf can natively query your documentation. Mintlify does not offer this.
holydocs includes a full TipTap visual editor with drag-and-drop navigation, image uploads, and one-click publish. Non-technical team members can contribute without touching Git.
Content RBAC, JWT authentication, SSO/SAML, audit logs, and self-hosting. holydocs is built for teams that need control over their documentation.
holydocs uses the same MDX format as Mintlify. Most teams migrate in under 15 minutes.
