Hey everyone

I've been building Docora, an open-source documentation framework for Next.js and React — inspired by Docus in the Nuxt ecosystem, but built from the ground up for this stack.

What it does:

  • File-based routing — every file under content/

becomes a route

  • MDC syntax — write Markdown, get callouts, cards, tabs and steps with no imports
  • Built-in search (compile-time command palette, no hosted service)
  • SEO by default — sitemap, robots, canonical links, generated OG images
  • i18n — a folder per locale, hreflang included
  • An MCP server at /mcp

on every deployed site, plus auto-generated llms.txt

— so AI tools like Cursor and Claude can read the docs directly

  • An optional AI chat widget (Ask AI) built with the AI SDK, routed through AI Gateway
