ShipKit — AI-Powered Documentation Platform

Generate, host, and maintain product docs with AI.

What is ShipKit?

ShipKit is an MCP-first SaaS operations automation platform. Connect it to your AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf), and it handles everything after you build — documentation, launch prep, marketing copy, status monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.

Who is it for?

• Indie developers building SaaS with AI (vibe coders)
• Small teams who ship fast but don't have time for ops
• Anyone who wants to focus on code, not operations

Core Features

Screenshot Monitoring

• Automated Playwright screenshots on schedule or deploy trigger
• Pixel-level visual diff (pixelmatch)
• AI-powered change analysis (Gemini Flash — only feature using AI server-side)
• Live Embed URLs — permanent links that always show the latest screenshot

Documentation Automation

• AI doc generation — give a URL, get a full help center
• AI page discovery — auto-find all important pages
• Auto-update docs when your product changes (GitHub webhook -> diff -> review -> publish)
• Publish to GitHub, Notion, Confluence, GitBook, or host on ShipKit
• Translate docs to 20+ languages
• Real-time Docs API — your website reads content from ShipKit, always fresh

Launch & Promote

• Landing page analyzer — structured data for AI to optimize your copy
• Privacy policy & terms of service scanner
• Product Hunt launch pack — product data for AI to write tagline, description, first comment
• Social media post data — 7 platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, HN, IndieHackers, V2EX, Xiaohongshu)
• Competitor comparison data
• 2-week launch calendar template

User Engagement

• Email sequence templates (welcome, onboarding, reactivation)
• AI support bot — search docs, return relevant excerpts
• Embeddable widget — one script tag on your website

SaaS Maintenance

• Changelog auto-generation from Git commits
• SEO checker
• Status pages with uptime monitoring
• OG image generator
• Email notifications

MCP Service (Primary Interface)

• 30 MCP tools via JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP
• API key authentication + monthly usage quotas
• Zero AI cost for most tools — Claude does the thinking, ShipKit provides the data

Architecture Philosophy

MCP tools do what Claude can't. Claude does what MCP tools shouldn't.

• Screenshot capture, storage, diff -> ShipKit server (needs Playwright + infrastructure)
• Visual change analysis -> Gemini Flash (needs vision model to see images)
• Writing copy, analyzing content, generating suggestions -> Claude (user's own model, zero cost to us)

Quick Start

For AI Coders (MCP)

Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shipkit": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://your-shipkit-url/api/mcp?apikey=skyour_key"
    }
  }
}

Then tell Claude: "Help me set up ops for my SaaS at https://myapp.com"

For Web Dashboard

Visit your ShipKit URL, sign up, create a project.
