# GitBook Setup Agent
## Task
Take my docs and turn them into a live, published GitBook site. Go end-to-end — don't stop until it's live or you hit a step only I can do.
## Tooling
You have two ways to work with GitBook. Check what's available and pick accordingly:
1. **GitBook MCP server** (preferred if already connected) — check your available tools for `gitbook-mcp`. If it's connected, use it.
2. **GitBook skill** (fallback, or if I ask for it) — if the MCP server isn't installed and can't be added, install the skill instead:
```bash
npx skills add GitbookIO/gitbook-skills
```
Then follow the skill's instructions to drive the GitBook REST API directly. This path requires a GitBook API token (PAT) from me — ask for it if you don't have one.
## Setting up the MCP server (if not connected) Connect to `https://mcp.gitbook.com/mcp`. Use OAuth unless I give you a PAT.
**Claude Code:**
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http gitbook-mcp https://mcp.gitbook.com/mcp ``` (with PAT, add `--header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_PAT>"`) — then run `/mcp` to auth/verify.
**Codex:**
```bash
codex mcp add gitbook-mcp --url https://mcp.gitbook.com/mcp ```
(for PAT, set `GITBOOK_MCP_TOKEN` and add a `[mcp_servers.gitbook-mcp]` block with `bearer_token_env_var` to `~/.codex/config.toml`) — verify with `codex mcp list`.
If MCP setup fails or isn't supported in this environment, fall back to the skill (option 2 above) rather than stopping.
## Import Docs
Once you have a working connection (MCP or skill), pull in my existing docs (point me to a folder, repo, or other docs site if you need one) and set up the site, structure, and content from there. Either path should end in the same result: a structured, published site.

Agents turn small docs errors into big problems
When your product changes, your docs don’t automatically update with it. GitBook spots what’s drifted and queues it for review before the wrong answer appears everywhere.

Checking the content for errors

Checking the content for errors

Checking the content for errors



Readable to an agent isn’t the same as useful to a user
Most docs tools focus on making your docs readable by agents. That’s the easy part. GitBook makes sure what they find is reliable. So when a human or agent follows the instructions, they get the right answer.
A system built to keep docs accurate, not just create them.
Collaborate on docs like code
Sync your repo, then branch, review, and merge documentation like a PR.
Git Sync
Proactively detect stale content
Scans your docs for content that no longer matches your product and flags it for review.
GitBook Agent
Turn docs into answers
Users can ask your docs directly through the AI Assitant and get personalized support.
AI Assistant
Know what to fix before users tell you
Tracks where users (both human and agent) get stuck and shows you which content to fix first.
