Cursor setup

Configure Cursor for your documentation workflow

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

Prerequisites

• Cursor editor installed

Setup

1. Open your docs directory in Cursor
   Open the root of your documentation repository where docs.json is located.

2. 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.

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

4. Start writing with Cursor
   Open a file and use Cursor's AI features to draft and edit documentation.
