How to use mdxctl

Two commands to a running docs site. Your agent can do the whole setup for you, or you can drive it yourself.

Install

Let your agent do it

Recommended

mdxctl ships as a skill. Hand this command to Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent that reads skills, and it installs mdxctl and learns how to write docs with it in the same step.

Or install it manually

Prefer to keep it in your own hands? Install the CLI.

Usage

  1. Set up a project

    Run this in the root of your repo. It creates the mdxctl folder in your project and adds it to the registry.

  2. Start the docs server

    Starts the docs server. The link to open it will be in your terminal.
