Docs for agents

Every page as Markdown, llms.txt, and a setup page written for an agent to follow.

These docs are for people and for the agents that work for them. Every page is also plain Markdown at a stable URL, so an agent can read it without scraping HTML.

#Markdown for every page

Add .md to a docs URL to get the page as Markdown, for example https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/credits.md. The introduction is at https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/index.md. Each page's HTML also links its Markdown with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">.

The Copy page button at the top of each page copies the same Markdown. Its menu opens the page in ChatGPT or Claude, ready for a question.

#llms.txt

FileWhat it holds
/llms.txtAn index of the docs: every page with a link to its Markdown and one line on what it covers
/llms-full.txtEvery page in one Markdown file

#The setup page

https://www.manifoldmcp.com/setup.md is written for an agent that has been asked to connect Manifold. It gives the server, how to add it to the client the agent runs in, and what to do next. Give your agent one line:

TEXT
Read https://www.manifoldmcp.com/setup.md and connect Manifold.

#Inside the server

A connected agent does not need these docs to use the tools. When it connects, the server sends instructions: a glossary, the credit rules and the common workflows. Each tool description says when to use the tool, what it returns, its parameters and its cost. The tool pages here are built from those same descriptions, so the two always agree.
