## What it is
Docus is a Nuxt-based documentation theme and starter that lets you write beautiful, SEO-optimized docs in Markdown with MDC syntax for embedding Vue components. It ships with built-in search, dark mode, i18n, auto-generated navigation, an AI assistant, and an MCP server for AI tool integration.

## Use cases
- create a documentation site for an open-source project
- write docs in markdown with vue components
- generate a docs website with built-in search and dark mode
- add multilingual documentation with i18n
- publish llms.txt so AI tools can read my docs
- add a chat assistant that answers questions from my documentation
- scaffold a nuxt documentation project quickly

## When to choose
- you are building product or library documentation in the Vue/Nuxt ecosystem
- you want markdown-first docs with component embedding and zero boilerplate
- you need SEO, search, dark mode, and i18n out of the box
- you want AI-ready docs with llms.txt and an MCP server

## When to avoid
- your stack is React/Next.js rather than Vue/Nuxt
- you need a general-purpose blog or marketing site rather than documentation
- you require a fully custom design system rather than a Nuxt UI-based theme
