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

**Quickstart:**
