Docora — An open-source documentation framework for Next.js and React

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:
​

npx create-docora my-docs
cd my-docs && npm run dev
​```



Repo: https://github.com/StaticMania/docora
Live demo: https://docora-docs.vercel.app/

**Where I could use the community's help:**
Docora is built entirely on Vercel's stack — Next.js, deployed on Vercel, AI Gateway for the Ask AI feature. Right now the Ask AI feature is limited by the free AI Gateway tier, so most visitors on the live demo can't fully try it. I'd love to keep this feature genuinely open for the Next.js community to experiment with and learn from — if anyone has pointers on the Open Source Program or similar support, I'd really appreciate it.

Happy to answer questions, and feedback on the framework itself (DX, missing features, bugs) is very welcome too.
