Built for developer workflows

The tools you need to create great documentation

Markdown content

Use the supported Markdown subset for headings, lists, tables, fenced code, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

API reference ready

Document your API endpoints with code examples, request/response samples, and parameter tables.

CLI + public MCP

Push Markdown and codebase context with the CLI, and let compatible clients query published knowledge through each site's MCP endpoint.

GitHub integration

Connect a repo to generate a reviewable draft from its README and root package manifest. Re-scan manually after the source changes.

Code-aware AI

Use the CLI scanner for routes, components, tests, and stack context, then review generated content before publishing it to the agent.

Use shipped sources

Scan a README and Markdown with the CLI, connect GitHub, crawl published HTML, or import help articles from Intercom, Zendesk, and Freshdesk.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Crawl published URLs, connect GitHub, push Markdown through the CLI, paste content into the editor, or import help articles from Intercom, Zendesk, and Freshdesk. Direct Notion, GitBook, GitLab, and OpenAPI import are not shipped yet; re-import or rescan when the source changes.

Yes. Fenced code blocks are included in the supported Markdown subset. HelpShelf does not currently promise language-specific highlighting across arbitrary programming languages.

There is no first-class version switcher today. You can publish separate articles or collections for release-specific material and control which content remains published.

HelpShelf does not currently ship a general customer API for creating projects or managing article CRUD. Use the CLI to push Markdown and codebase context, GitHub for connected repository sync, and the public MCP endpoint to query published knowledge.
