This introduces a partial rebrand (name + palette) while the rest of the doc site still references Mintlify (schema, URLs, .mintlify.app, dashboard). If this isn't intended to be a full rebrand, I'd keep the existing values.

Contextual option renamed breaking MCP menu functionality

High Severity

The contextual menu option "add-mcp" was changed to "mcp", but the documented valid option name is add-mcp (as seen in ai/contextual-menu.mdx and ai/model-context-protocol.mdx). This is an unrelated functional change sneaked into a theming PR that will likely cause the "Copy MCP install command" contextual menu item to stop appearing, since "mcp" is not a recognized option value.

Worth double-checking that "mcp" is a supported contextual.options value in the docs.json schema / UI. If the UI expects the old key, this will silently drop the menu item.

This frontmatter description reads pretty metaphor-heavy compared to the rest of the docs. If the goal is to keep the intro crisp and consistent, I'd revert to the more literal copy.

Same note here—keeping this line literal makes the page read more like documentation than marketing copy.

Quickstart descriptions tend to work better when they stay literal and goal-oriented (helps scanning and SEO).

## Before you begin

Mintlify uses a docs-as-code approach to manage your documentation. Every page on your site has a corresponding file stored in your documentation <Tooltip tip="Your documentation's source code where all files and their history are stored. The web editor connects to your documentation repository to access and modify content, or you can edit files locally in your preferred IDE.">repository</Tooltip>.
Our docs-as-code approach is like tending an apple orchard. Every page on your site has a corresponding file stored in your documentation <Tooltip tip="Your documentation's source code where all files and their history are stored. The web editor connects to your documentation repository to access and modify content, or you can edit files locally in your preferred IDE.">repository</Tooltip> - think of it as your digital apple tree.

When you connect your documentation repository to your project, you can work on your documentation locally or in the web editor and sync any changes to your remote repository.

The command points at mintlify.com/docs, so calling it the Applify skill is confusing. I'd keep the product name consistent with the URL.

This wording swap makes it harder for users to connect the docs to what they see in the dashboard (deployments). I'd keep the original phrasing.
