Mintlify Base enters beta as a shared workspace for teams and AI agents

Why internal knowledge needs to work for agents

Mintlify argues that agents are now major readers of company knowledge. The company says agents already account for more than three-quarters of the traffic to the docs it hosts. Agents used inside a team read internal pages in the same way, and they act on whatever context they are given.

That creates a problem when content goes stale. According to Mintlify, an agent working from an out-of-date runbook repeats the old answer with confidence, and someone on the team then spends an afternoon cleaning it up. The company says most internal sites were built for people reading pages, with AI search added later, and that search can find a page but cannot fix one that is wrong.

Mintlify says it already runs its own internal knowledge on Base, and that the announcement post was written, edited and rewritten with it.

How Base works

Base organizes content into three areas: Personal pages for drafts that can be shared when ready, a Shared with me view for pages sent by teammates, and a Teamspace for company-wide knowledge arranged in folders.

Writing starts with an agent in the editor, which helps draft, develop and refine a page. Teammates can contribute from the web editor, the CLI or their IDE, or hand the work to Mintlify Agent from the dashboard or Slack. Reviewers can leave comments and suggestions, and tagging Mintlify Agent in a comment on a section lets it edit the page without the reviewer leaving the conversation.

• A style guide, review checklist or page templates can be given to the agent once as a skill, and it follows them on every page.
• Teamspace is backed by Git, so every change has history, but edits merge automatically and nobody has to open or review a pull request to update a page.
• Pages support React components, and Mintlify Agent can create images, videos, Mermaid diagrams and visualizations.
• Pages can be shared internally or externally as read-only links.

MCP access and Markdown storage

Base includes a built-in MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or in-house agents can all read from the same source of truth. Mintlify also ships an Admin MCP that gives those agents write access. With it they can edit pages, restructure navigation, open pull requests and manage settings.

Pages are stored as Markdown files in a filesystem, a format the company says agents already know how to search and navigate. Mintlify cites a controlled experiment with a large engineering team using Claude Code on monorepos, in which structured Markdown used about half the tokens and made agents 64% more precise. The figures are the company's own results.

Page verification and availability

Mintlify says page verification is coming soon. Teams will be able to mark a page as verified and set an expiration date so it returns for review before it goes stale. Pages that are wrong or out of date can be marked as outdated or not verified for a set period. Readers will see who last verified a page, so they can judge whether to trust it.

Base is in beta and any team can sign up. Mintlify notes that parts of the product will change as it builds with early teams. The source gives no pricing or general availability date.

For teams that already rely on agents to read internal documentation, the pitch is that one maintained source, reachable by both people and agents, reduces the risk of confident answers drawn from outdated pages.
