Cursor setup

Set up Cursor to help you write and maintain your Mintlify documentation.

Prerequisites

Open your docs directory in Cursor

Open the root of your documentation repository where docs.json is located.

Install the Mintlify skill

In the integrated terminal, run:

npx skills add https://mintlify.com/docs

This gives Cursor Mintlify’s component reference, writing standards, and workflow guidance.

Customize project instructions

Edit AGENTS.md in your project root to add project-specific terminology, style preferences, and content boundaries.

Start writing with Cursor

Open a file and use Cursor’s AI features to draft and edit documentation.
