we get asked all the time how we track agent traffic at mintlify.com/data
we just open-sourced it so anyone can use it
Introducing agent-traffic: the dataset and classifier we use to tell which agent, crawler or person is behind every request.
Last month, agents made 489M requests to docs hosted on Mintlify. agent-traffic is how we know which ones.
Today we're open-sourcing it for everyone.

I’ve never quite understood the appeal of software that gives you a blank canvas and building blocks to make your own tools.
I’d rather use a purpose-built product from a team whose judgment I trust, or build something custom for my exact needs.
The awkward middle ground makes you do the design work, but limits you to someone else’s building blocks.
And in companies, everyone ends up building their own systems, leaving the organization to deal with the complexity.
With AI making custom software easier to build, that tradeoff feels increasingly hard to justify

Five ways to make Mintlify Base work for your team 🧵
Last week, we launched Base, a workspace for agent-human collaboration. Onboarding docs, support playbooks, and engineering specs: every team at Mintlify runs its work through it. Here's what we've learned:
proud customer #1
introducing @tesser_sh (YC W27)

Excited to announce that we're expanding our partnership with Amazon!
Our mission at Mintlify has always been to empower builders, and getting to work with the Amazon team on making their complex products easier to build has been a highlight.
Excited to keep building together.
Infisical has been the backbone of our security infra ever the earliest days
huge congrats to @matsiiako @maidulll @dangtony98 on the series b!
We’re excited to announce we have raised a $40M Series B!
This next round of funding lets us continue to strengthen our secrets, certificate, and access management products.
We'll also expand the capabilities of Agent Vault, so engineers adopting AI agents can give them access without handing over the underlying credentials.
Thank you to @eladgil, @GradientVC, @ycombinator, and our other investors, as well as our customers, community, and team for helping us get here!

Docs traffic across Mintlify grew ~10x from Sept 2025 to Sept 2026: 45M → 444M monthly views.
Human traffic: 3x
Agent traffic: 135x
MCP: 4.4M+ monthly tool calls, up 53x
An estimated 60% of September’s doc changes were agent-written.
Agents are reading and writing the docs, not just code.
really excited for this one
in the world of agents, your docs should keep up with what you're shipping, without you having to remember to update them
