## What it is
docmd is a zero-configuration documentation compiler that turns a folder of Markdown files into a static documentation website, client-side search index, and AI-ready context formats in a single command. It also ships a built-in MCP server, RAG-powered AI assistant, llms.txt generation, i18n, themes, and a plugin system.

## Use cases
- generate a documentation website from markdown files
- make my project docs readable by AI assistants like Claude and Cursor
- add search to my docs without a cloud service
- expose documentation to AI agents via MCP
- generate llms.txt for my documentation
- build multilingual documentation with i18n
- create SEO-friendly static docs with zero configuration

## When to choose
- You want production-ready docs from Markdown with minimal setup and built-in search, SEO, and theming
- You need AI-native documentation: llms.txt, MCP server, and agent-friendly knowledge formats
- You want client-side search with no cloud costs or backend
- You need multi-language docs with locale-first routing

## When to avoid
- You need a fully custom design system or heavy React/Vue component ecosystem in your docs
- Your docs require server-side rendering or dynamic content beyond static sites
- You prefer established ecosystems like Docusaurus or MkDocs with larger communities
- You need a mature 1.x tool - docmd is still in the 0.9 series
