MVP Docs

MVP Docs adds a simple documentation system to your WordPress site. It creates a Docs custom post type with categories, a clean archive page, and a markdown import tool — nothing more.

Why MVP Docs?

AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT are excellent at generating documentation in Markdown format. MVP Docs was built to take advantage of that — paste your AI-generated .md files straight into WordPress with a single click. No copy-pasting HTML, no reformatting, no fussing with blocks. Just import and publish.

Beyond the AI workflow, most documentation plugins are overbuilt. They add custom page builders, proprietary editors, dozens of database tables, and megabytes of JavaScript. MVP Docs takes the opposite approach:

• Uses the native WordPress block editor
• Works with any theme (block themes and classic themes)
• Stores content as standard WordPress posts
• Loads zero scripts or styles outside of doc pages
• No lock-in — your content is just posts and taxonomies
• No external dependencies — everything ships with the plugin

Features

• Docs post type with archive at /docs/
• Doc Categories for organizing content
• Search — AJAX-powered typeahead dropdown on the archive and category pages, with a dedicated search results page at /docs/search/
• Markdown import — upload a .md file and it converts to native Gutenberg blocks (tables, code blocks, lists, and all GFM features)
• Import / Export — export docs, categories, and settings as a JSON file; import on another site
• Archive page — docs grouped by category in a card grid
• Category archives — full list of docs in a category with search bar
• Search results page — dedicated page with breadcrumbs and themed card layout
• Breadcrumbs on single doc pages
• Settings — archive layout (columns, border radius, docs per category), colors, page titles, sort order, custom slugs, category ordering via drag-and-drop
• Block theme support — registers proper block templates for single docs, archives, category pages, and search
• Classic theme support — falls back to PHP templates with get_header()/get_footer()

Markdown Import — Built for AI-Generated Docs

AI tools produce clean, well-structured Markdown. MVP Docs lets you import those .md files directly into the block editor with one click. The sidebar includes an “Import from Markdown” button — upload a file and it gets parsed client-side with full GitHub Flavored Markdown support (via marked.js), then converted into native Gutenberg blocks. The first # Heading becomes the post title automatically.

Use your favorite AI to generate docs, how-to guides, or knowledge base articles in Markdown, then import them into WordPress without any reformatting.

Supported: headings, bold, italic, links, images, tables, fenced code blocks with syntax hints, task lists, strikethrough, blockquotes, horizontal rules, ordered and unordered lists.

Import / Export

Go to Docs > Settings > Import / Export to:

• Export docs, categories, and/or settings as a single JSON file
• Import a previously exported file to restore or migrate content between sites

Existing docs with the same title are skipped during import to avoid duplicates. Categories are created automatically if they don’t exist.
