Features
OwnDocs ships everything below in one purchase — no add-ons, no usage tiers, and nothing 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.
Full-text search
A built-in search index across every page — no third-party search service.
Navigation & page metadata
Sidebar navigation, breadcrumbs, previous and next links, a table of contents that tracks your scroll position, and a page footer built from real git history.
Theme variants
26 built-in theme variants, switchable per deployment.
GitHub-style alerts
Callout blocks that pull attention to notes, tips, warnings, and danger notices, written with the same syntax GitHub Markdown already uses.
Versioning
Archive and serve older documentation versions alongside the current one.
Math typesetting
Write LaTeX-style math inline or as block equations, rendered to HTML at build time by KaTeX.
Reader feedback
A lightweight widget that captures whether a page helped, with an optional comment.
Access modes
Run the site fully public, or lock it behind a shared password.
