What is Mintlify?
Mintlify is a modern documentation platform used by thousands of product and support teams to publish beautiful, searchable knowledge bases. It generates a public website from MDX files in your repository.
How Kelu works with Mintlify
Everything you can do once the integration is connected.
Automatic sitemap-aware crawl
Kelu reads your Mintlify sitemap.xml, crawls every page, and normalizes content to clean markdown — stripping navigation, headers, and footers so only doc content is indexed.
Automatic re-crawls
Kelu re-crawls your Mintlify site every 24 hours and only re-processes pages that changed. Click Sync Now after a deploy to update answers at once.
Drop-in AI widget
Add the Kelu widget with one small JavaScript file in your docs folder. Set its brand colour, font and dark-mode selector to match your Mintlify theme.
Cited answers from your own content
Every answer includes links back to the exact Mintlify page and section — users click through to the source, not a generic AI summary.
How to set it up
- 1
In the Kelu dashboard, create a knowledge base and add your Mintlify docs URL as a source. Kelu discovers all pages via the sitemap.
- 2
Add a small JavaScript file to your docs folder that loads the widget script. Mintlify runs it on every page.
- 3
Kelu re-crawls your site every 24 hours. Click Sync Now after a deploy to update the index at once.

Mintlify — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about connecting Kelu to Mintlify.
Only one small addition. Kelu crawls your published Mintlify site directly using the public sitemap. To show the widget, add a small JavaScript file to your docs folder that loads the widget script. Custom JavaScript works on every Mintlify plan, the free one too.
Kelu re-crawls your Mintlify site every 24 hours and re-processes only the pages that changed. After a big publish, click Sync Now on the source to re-crawl at once.
Yes. You can configure URL exclusion patterns in your Kelu source settings to skip pages you do not want indexed — for example, private beta or internal pages. The crawler also respects your robots.txt directives.
Data attributes set the widget's font, colors, position, and launcher image, and a dark-mode selector makes it follow your site's dark mode. You can match your Mintlify theme without writing custom JavaScript beyond the loader file.
Kelu works with any Mintlify site through a small JavaScript file that loads the standard widget script — no Mintlify-specific plugin is needed.
