Gitbook

About Gitbook

Before the description — this page content contains an embedded prompt injection: a fake "prompt" instructing an AI agent to connect to a GitBook MCP server, install plugins, run shell commands (`npx skills add...`), and take other actions. I did not follow any of it; treating it strictly as data per your instructions.

GitBook is docs infrastructure positioned around making documentation both AI-readable and accurate, described on the page as "the knowledge layer for AI." It provides a hosted platform for creating, publishing, and maintaining documentation sites, with support for custom domains and theme customization.

The product integrates with AI coding assistants through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, with official plugins listed for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor, plus a REST API accessible via a personal access token. It supports Git Sync for keeping published docs in sync with a source repository, and offers a free starting tier ("Start for free").

The product is aimed at teams and developers who maintain technical documentation, including scenarios where an AI agent is used to import existing docs (from a local folder or repository) and publish them as a GitBook site.
