Products

Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• Mintlify Platform Sold on its own

  Documentation-as-code platform: writes, hosts and keeps developer docs current, with an MCP server and API playground so an AI agent can read and act on them directly.

• Mintlify Index API service Sold on its own

  Unified API and MCP server aggregating documentation from 9,000+ Mintlify-powered sites plus 200,000+ libraries, frameworks and APIs across the web, returning ranked, citable sources and token-budgeted context to coding agents -- a documentation-retrieval layer, distinct from Mintlify's own docs-authoring-and-hosting platform.

Inside Mintlify

• Mintlify Agent AI agent Included with the parent

  AI agent that keeps documentation in sync with a codebase by watching for code changes and proposing/generating documentation updates automatically.

• Mintlify Assistant Application Included with the parent

  AI chat assistant embedded in generated documentation sites that answers reader questions grounded in the docs' own content, built on Mintlify's indexing.

Total funding

Press release · 14 Apr 2026

Mintlify's own blog, dated April 14, 2026: "$45M Series B at a $500M valuation... bringing our total funding to $67M" -- a stated cumulative total, not just the round.

Valuation

Press release · 14 Apr 2026

Same post: "$45M Series B at a $500M valuation."

Founded

Company disclosure · 9 Sep 2026

Mintlify's own Y Combinator company profile: "Founded:2022". mintlify.com carries no About page and its Series B post (mintlify.com/blog/series-b) has no dateline stating a city or founding year -- same shape as Helicone's own record, which sourced both figures from its YC profile for the identical reason.

Status

Official documentation · 9 Sep 2026

Fetched 2026-09-09: no wind-down or acquisition language about Mintlify itself; the company is the acquirer of Helicone (announced 2026-03-03, per Helicone's own record), not the acquired party.
