Write MDX, get a production-ready site with AI chat, built-in components, and an MCP server - in one command.\"\ndate: \"2026-02-19\"\ncategory: \"Getting Started\"\ncategoryOrder: 0\ncategoryIcon: \"rocket\"\norder: 0\n---\n# Welcome to Doccupine\n\nDoccupine turns a directory of MDX files into a beautiful, production-ready documentation website. Write in standard Markdown, use any of the built-in components, and get a fully themed site with AI-powered search and automatic navigation - all from one command.\n\n```bash\nnpx doccupine\n```\n\nThat's it. Doccupine prompts you for a source directory, generates your site, and starts a dev server at `http://localhost:3000`. Every edit rebuilds instantly.\n\n<Callout type=\"info\">\n  Want a managed experience instead? The [Doccupine Platform](/platform) gives you a browser-based editor, one-click publishing, custom domains, and team collaboration - no local setup needed.\n</Callout>\n\n## How it works\n\nYou write `.mdx` files using Markdown and built-in components like this one. Doccupine watches your files, generates pages, builds the sidebar from your frontmatter, and handles theming, AI chat, and deployment config for you.\n\nEverything on this page - the callout above, the cards below, the code block - is a live example of what your docs can look like out of the box.\n\n<Columns cols={2}>\n  <Card title=\"Start writing\" icon=\"pencil\" href=\"/components\">\n    Rich docs from day one. 14+ components work out of the box - no imports needed.\n  </Card>\n  <Card title=\"Ship it\" icon=\"rocket\" href=\"/deployment-and-hosting\">\n    Deploy to the Doccupine Platform or self-host on any platform that supports Next.js.\n  </Card>\n</Columns>\n\n## Configure your site\n\nDoccupine works with no configuration, but when you're ready to customize, everything is controlled through simple JSON files in your project root.\n\n- [Global settings](/globals) - Site name, description, favicon, and preview image via `config.json`\n- [Navigation](/navigation) - Override the auto-generated sidebar with `navigation.json`\n- [Theme](/theme) - Colors, logos, and dark mode palette via `theme.json`\n- [Fonts](/fonts) - Google Fonts or local font files via `fonts.json`\n- [AI Assistant](/ai-assistant) - Enable the built-in chat with your own API key\n- [MCP Server](/model-context-protocol) - Let AI tools search your docs through `/api/mcp`";
