Capabilities

17 capabilities, one codebase.

Everything ships in the same purchase — no add-ons, no usage tiers, no feature gated behind a higher plan.

Documentation components
A library of 25 purpose-built components — cards, tabs, accordions, comparison tables, file trees, steps, badges, changelogs, release notes, and image zoom — that you drop straight into an MDX page.
OpenAPI embed
Turn an OpenAPI or Swagger spec into a live reference page, with a Postman export.
Code & diagrams
Syntax-highlighted code blocks and sanitized Mermaid diagram rendering.
MCP server
A built-in Model Context Protocol server so AI tools can search and fetch your docs directly.
AI chat
An AI chat panel that answers questions from your own documentation, using your own AI provider key — OwnDocs ships the integration, not a hosted AI service.
AI reading deeplinks
Every documentation page carries one-click links that open the current page in ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor with a prompt already asking the AI to read and explain it.
LLM-readable site index
Two machine-readable routes, /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, let AI tools read a compact index of your documentation or its full text in a single request.
Dynamic Open Graph images
Every documentation page gets its own 1200×630 social preview image, generated on demand from the page title, breadcrumb path, and description.
MDX & Markdown authoring
Write pages in MDX or plain Markdown, rendered through the Next.js App Router.
Own it, don't rent it

Self-hosted by design, not as an afterthought.

Most documentation platforms rent you a hosted dashboard. OwnDocs hands you the source code and lets you run it wherever you already deploy software.

Your infrastructure

Deploy it on your own server, container platform, or hosting provider. Nobody else touches your docs.

Your data

Reader feedback, search index, and content all live in your deployment, not a third-party dashboard.

One payment, not a meter

No per-seat pricing, no page-view cap, no plan to outgrow. Buy it once.

White-label rights included

Rebrand the site as your own product. The license covers that from day one.

Real source code

Next.js, React, and TypeScript you can read, extend, and debug — not a black-box SaaS embed.

Free Version 1 updates

Every minor release and security patch for Version 1 ships to you at no extra cost, for life.

Own your docs, once.

A single purchase gets you the full source code, white-label rights, and every Version 1 update for life. See it running before you buy.
