Hey all!
We've greatly expanded and improved our developer documentation & MCP tooling - giving internal devs useful docs that are always up to date, and tools for their AI agents that reduce token usage and improve code quality output. We've build a public open-source MCP server, a CLI setup tool, and a prompt to get setup easily in 1-paste.
The biggest ask we've seen was: How do we manage public-facing docs? Help centers? Knowledgebases?
Now you can! - https://moxiedocs.app/ Starting in Beta any Moxie Docs user can opt-in themselves to start using our Public Sites feature. This unlocks:
Automatically generated documentation for both developers and consumers targeted for public consumption. Rich with layouts, charts, codeblocks, internal linking, and more.
White-labelling - add your logo, brand color, and light instruction changes
Coming soon custom domains and remove Moxie Docs linking for Pro or higher plans
Fully hosted, you control what documentation is published, all exists in your code base no vendor lock-in, you own your data. Always.
Full document search, reading time, reading indicator, table of contents, documentation groupin
Integrates directly with our Changelog feature - get a hosted changelog directly linkable and tied to your help center
Check it out with our own dogfooding example https://docs.moxiedocs.app/

the code-vs-docs source-of-truth question got covered for the bug scenario, but there's a different case worth asking about: forward-looking design docs or RFCs describing a feature that's planned but not built yet. since code is ground truth for drift detection, does Moxie treat a doc describing not-yet-implemented behavior as "drift" and try to flag or rewrite it toward what the code currently does, or is there a way to mark a doc as intentionally ahead of the code so it doesn't get flattened into just describing the present state?
Moxie Docs
@galdayan Great idea! We do not check for this specifically yet, but I am working on it right now 🫡 we will flag RFCs / ADRs / Plans and detect when the implementation is done, then flag them for either removal or rewrite / combine with a relevant doc surface.
The PR check is the part I would lead with. Docs rot because nothing in the workflow ever tells you they rotted, so a check that fails loudly on the diff is worth more than any amount of generation quality.
One thing worth thinking about on the MCP side: how the docs get chunked matters as much as how they get written. An agent pulling repo context does much better with small single-topic sections it can retrieve precisely than with one long well written page, because a long page embeds as an average of everything in it and stops matching specific questions.
Congrats on the second launch.

@paul_crinigan Absolutely - and for the MCP when we index a repo we pull out and identify conventions (these get updated periodically as they can also change over time) and any agent requesting doc info gets the documentation that exists itself, it can provide or identify any source / cited files related to the doc (for either continued examination or for identifying if work it did may have affected a doc in the repo), and any codebase context that is relevant! You can check out more on our MCP here if you're curious: https://moxiedocs.com/mcp
This feels useful because docs are starting to serve two audiences at once: humans reading the public knowledgebase, and AI agents using repo context while work is happening.
The trust boundary I’d care about is the step before something becomes public. Temporary implementation notes are often helpful for an agent, but not always safe or polished enough for users. A clear diff/review queue for “agent-found doc drift” before publishing would make this much easier to trust.

@grace_lee26 that’s exactly what our focus is! Everything runs continuously but nothing happens automatically - the control to review and merge is 100% in your hands. Moxie Docs does the heavy lifting surfacing opportunities, creating changelog items, opening PRs updating docs, and aligning / checking engineer PRs, etc but the final step of merging is always in the hands of repo maintainers.
The only thing worse than no documentation, is incorrect documentation. We take this an extra step with the new public Knowledgebases since it’s an entry point for consumers - you first merge our proposed docs into your repo (no vendor lock in), then 1-click a button to publish them live on the knowledge base.
The “living docs + MCP context for your GitHub repos” line is interesting. How does Moxie Docs decide what repo context is safe or relevant to expose through MCP? For example, can teams scope it to specific folders, branches, or docs, or is the context built from the whole repo by default?
Moxie Docs
@ivory_xuxuxu We index & analyze the entire repo by default, but agents get a citation-backed packet (conventions, docs, gaps, commands, and team notes) we filter out anything in .gitignore by default (as well as some known folders like build/dist outputs, temp files, etc.) and agents can pull path-relevant context directly, like "I am about to touch these files, what docs do those impact?" (simplified but the general idea via the MCP).
Fantastic idea! Wondering if there is a document update every time the repo content changes? Does it run periodically? or is it all one and done (I doubt it!)

@rachid_abadli Every opened PR triggers a pass / check! Along with any AI agent utilizing the MCP, and routine checks every few hours. If docs drift from code changes - we find, fix, and surface that!
