--- title: Jamdesk Documentation sidebarTitle: Introduction description: Create AI-ready docs with Jamdesk, a software documentation tool built on MDX and GitHub. Deploy in seconds with built-in search, analytics, and themes. --- Jamdesk is a [software documentation tool](https://www.jamdesk.com) that builds docs sites from your Markdown files. Connect a GitHub repo, write in MDX, and deploy globally in seconds. You don't need to set up a build pipeline or run any DevOps yourself. Every site generates an `llms.txt` file so AI tools can index your content. **Write with AI.** Use Cursor, Claude, or any AI assistant to generate and edit your docs. MDX is a text format that AI tools understand natively, so no special prompts are needed. ## A Minimal Jamdesk Project ```text my-docs/ ├── docs.json └── introduction.mdx ``` That's all you need. See the [Quickstart](/quickstart) to create yours. Browse the [source for this documentation](https://github.com/jamdesk/jamdesk-docs) on GitHub. It's a working Jamdesk project you can use as a reference. ## What's Included Push to GitHub and your docs deploy to a global CDN. No build configs or CI pipelines. Standard Markdown with React components for interactive elements. Jam, Nebula, and Pulsar. Each ships with dark mode and responsive design. Cmd+K search that indexes your content automatically. ## How It Works Create docs using Markdown with optional React components. Use your favorite editor: VS Code, Cursor, or any plain text editor. AI tools like Claude can generate and edit MDX natively. Commit your changes and push. You don't need to run a build command or maintain a deploy script. Jamdesk detects your push, builds your site, and deploys to a global CDN. Your docs are live at `your-project.jamdesk.app`. ## What You Can Build User guides, feature documentation, and help centers.
