Create your Mintlify account

Sign up, connect your Git provider, and set up your organization.

Getting started with Mintlify takes a few minutes. The key decisions — which Git provider to use, who manages billing, and how your organization is named — are easiest to get right up front.

Sign up

Go to mintlify.com/start and sign up with your work email or GitHub account. If you sign up with email, we send a verification link — check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive within a minute.

Work email vs GitHub

Signing up with GitHub is faster and connects your account to your repositories immediately. Work email is preferred if your organization has SSO policies that require it.

Create your organization

After signing in, you’ll be prompted to create an organization. Your organization name appears in the Mintlify dashboard and in email notifications to teammates.

• Use a recognizable name — your company name or product name work well.
• Avoid internal codenames if external collaborators will see it.

Connect your Git provider

Mintlify deploys from your Git repository. During setup, you’ll install the Mintlify GitHub App (or connect GitLab). Grant it access to the repositories you plan to use for documentation.

You can install the GitHub App on an individual account or a GitHub organization. If your docs repository belongs to a GitHub organization, install the app on that organization so all members can collaborate.

Verification issues

If the verification email doesn’t arrive:

• Check your spam and promotions folders.
• Ask your IT team whether the Mintlify sender domain is filtered.
• Try signing up with GitHub instead if email delivery is unreliable in your environment.
