Mento Book installs statistics

Mento turns your GitHub repository into a polished documentation portal. Connect a repo, pick the folders to expose, invite your team — docs are rendered with full markdown support, Mermaid diagrams, syntax highlighting, and PDF/image viewing. Access control is built in: manage members and roles per project. An MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude read and edit your docs directly.

Capabilities

Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, table of contents, and frontmatter support

• Multi-format viewer for PDF, images, code files, and text — all inline • Team access control with member roles (owner, admin, member) and email invitations • GitHub Issues integration — view and manage issues from within the portal • Full-text search across all project documentation (Cmd+K) • MCP server — AI assistants (Claude, etc.) can list projects, read docs, create/update files, and browse issues via the Model Context Protocol

Benefits

• Single source of truth: Docs live in your GitHub repo — no sync, no copy-paste, no drift. • Instant onboarding: Invite a teammate by email, they see the docs. No GitHub access required. • AI-native: Connect Claude or any MCP client to query and update your documentation programmatically. • Zero maintenance: Push to GitHub, docs update automatically. No build step, no deploy pipeline for content.
