Frequently asked questions
DocsMint is a document workspace for editing, organising, searching, sharing, and optional AI-assisted work.
API

The DocsMint API lets enabled accounts connect workspace documents and actions to their own tools and workflows. Availability, rate limits, and capabilities depend on your plan.

  • Create a workspace key in Settings → API and copy the secret shown immediately after creation. The shorter prefix shown later identifies the key but cannot authenticate requests.
  • Send the secret as Authorization: Bearer <secret>. X-API-Key, query parameters, and key-list IDs are not credentials.
  • Use X-Docsmint-Workspace: <workspace-slug> to select the workspace explicitly. A workspace-bound key may omit it.
  • Keep keys private, rotate them when a team member or integration changes, and never commit them to source control.
curl https://docsmint.com/api/v1/documents \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <secret>' \
  -H 'X-Docsmint-Workspace: <workspace-slug>'

Start with GET /api/v1/documents. Guessed endpoints such as /api/me or /api/projects are not part of the current contract.

MCP integration

The MCP adapter uses the same workspace API-key secret, an explicit workspace slug, and requires Tier 3. Category-scoped keys are not accepted by MCP because every tool must remain workspace-safe.

DocsMint does not automatically ingest every external agent conversation. Review the tools and workspace permissions before connecting an agent, and revoke access when it is no longer needed.

The hosted MCP transport is not exposed on the current docsmint.com preview deployment yet. An API key cannot turn a guessed /mcp URL into an MCP connection until that service is deployed.

DocsMint OSS

DocsMint OSS is the open-source document and knowledge-base project that DocsMint builds on. It is intended for developers and teams who want to inspect, modify, or run the software themselves. Read the source and contribution history on GitHub.

With self-hosting, you are the operator and are responsible for infrastructure, user access, backups, encryption, model and provider choices, updates, legal notices, and incident response. The hosted DocsMint terms and privacy commitments do not automatically apply to an independent deployment.

Use the project documentation and repository for installation and contribution guidance. For help deciding between hosted DocsMint and a self-hosted deployment, contact docs@webs.cool.
