# Dosu

> Dosu is knowledge management reimagined for the AI era. Dosu gives agents and teams the up-to-date knowledge they need.

Dosu turns your codebase, pull requests, issues, and conversations into living documentation that stays current automatically. It integrates with GitHub, Slack, Confluence, and Notion, and provides an MCP server for AI-native workflows.

Blog pages under [https://dosu.dev/blog](https://dosu.dev/blog) also serve raw Markdown by appending `.md` to the URL (e.g. https://dosu.dev/blog.md, https://dosu.dev/blog/<slug>.md).

`@dosu/cli` is the official Dosu CLI. Install it to wire the Dosu MCP server into your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, and more):

```sh
curl -fsSL https://cli.dosu.dev/install | sh
```

Or run it straight from npm with `npx @dosu/cli setup`, or sign up on the web at [https://app.dosu.dev](https://app.dosu.dev).

Self-serve agent onboarding: create a free account without contacting sales. The free tier includes 200 credits per month for public repositories.

For the API or MCP server, authenticate with OAuth 2.0 or an API key created in Settings → Account → API Keys. MCP requests require authentication. The OpenAPI specification, agent authentication guide, and OAuth discovery metadata are available without authentication. Dosu does not currently provide a separate sandbox or test environment.

## When to use Dosu

- [For Agents](https://dosu.dev/for-agents): You need persistent project and organization knowledge that survives across coding-agent sessions and tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), instead of rebuilding context from scratch on every run.
- [Documentation](https://docs.dosu.dev): You need the context behind engineering decisions — the "why" that isn't obvious from the source alone: design tradeoffs, prior incidents, deprecated approaches.
- [Product overview](https://dosu.dev): You need documentation grounded in the current codebase and team context, generated from real PRs, issues, and conversations and kept in sync with them, rather than a wiki that drifts.
- [Dosu MCP Server](https://api.dosu.dev/v1/mcp): You want that knowledge available inside any MCP-compatible agent today, without moving it somewhere new first.
