Added /setup, a step-by-step guide that tells an AI agent how to connect to Mintlify from whichever client it's running in. It moves here from the landing site.

Description

Moved the agent setup guide from mintlify.com/setup into the docs, so it's served at mintlify.com/docs/setup and /docs/setup.md.

  • New setup.mdx: is the agent a hosted assistant or a coding agent; publishing with the CLI when nobody can sign in, asking first whether it's a knowledge base or a public docs site and whether git is already set up; ground rules; mint agent setup; per-client config for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity and Grok Build; verifying; the restart handoff; a first page
  • Listed in "Get started" after Quickstart in docs.json

Test Plan

  • npx -y mint@latest validate
  • npx -y mint@latest broken-links
  • After deploy: curl https://www.mintlify.com/docs/setup.md | head

The homepage prompt and llms.txt / skill.md in https://github.com/mintlify/landing/pull/911 point agents at this page.

Verification

  • mint validate: build and validation passed
  • mint broken-links: no broken links
  • vale setup.mdx: the remaining 19 errors are false positives from URLs, command names and quoted UI labels (claude.ai, /ai/mintlify-mcp, mcpServers, Authed). Em dashes now follow house style.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation and navigation only; no application code, auth, or deployment logic changes in this repo.

Overview
Adds a new Set up Mintlify doc at /setup by moving the agent-oriented setup guide from the landing site into the docs repo.

The page is written for AI agents: it splits hosted assistants (relay connector steps) from coding agents (MCP OAuth, per-client config, verify, restart handoff). It also covers mint deploy / claim / domain when OAuth isn't possible (CI, cloud sessions), npx mint@latest agent setup --global, and client-specific notes for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, and Grok Build.

docs.json lists setup in Get started, immediately after Quickstart.

since this is for agents, does it need to be in the sidebar nav? We can just have it indexed as a hidden page
