Jamdesk Documentation

Source files for the Jamdesk documentation site. This repo contains the MDX content, not the Jamdesk platform source code. It also serves as a working example of a Jamdesk project — the same docs.json + .mdx files structure that any Jamdesk user would create.

Jamdesk is a documentation platform that builds docs sites from MDX files in a GitHub repo. Push and your site deploys to a global CDN. It supports OpenAPI specs, AI chat (RAG + Claude), MCP server integration, automatic llms.txt generation, built-in analytics, and custom domains.

Writing Guidelines

• Start with why, then show how — include working examples
• Use MDX components: <Steps>, <Tabs>, <Card>, <Callout>, <Accordion>, <Code>
• Link related pages at the bottom with "What's Next?" cards
• Page paths in docs.json navigation omit the .mdx extension

Adding a Page

1. Create an .mdx file in the appropriate directory
2. Add title and description frontmatter
3. Add the page path to docs.json under the correct navigation group

Configuration

All site configuration lives in docs.json — navigation structure, theme, colors, API settings, redirects, and integrations. The schema is published at jamdesk.com/docs.json and can be referenced with "$schema": "https://www.jamdesk.com/docs.json" for editor autocompletion. See the docs.json reference for full documentation.
