# LLM documentation for Netlify

> Comprehensive documentation for the Netlify web platform for building and deploying production-ready sites and web apps that are highly performant, secure, and ready to scale. Covers serverless functions, edge functions, async workloads, data and blob storage, image CDN, build configuration, deploys, domains, forms, team management, and AI tooling (skills, agent runners). Agent skills repository: https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools.

Netlify is a web platform for building highly performant, secure, and reliable websites and web apps.
Use the following docs to identify the available capabilities and where to learn more about them

## Markdown versions of any page

Every documentation page in this index is also available as Markdown: append `.md` to any docs.netlify.com URL to get the raw Markdown source instead of the rendered HTML page.

For example, https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/overview/ is also available at https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/overview.md.

This applies to every page listed below, so you can fetch Markdown directly rather than parsing HTML.

## Quick setup

Netlify provides official skills to give AI coding agents accurate, up-to-date context and tools for building on Netlify.

### Install the Netlify CLI

```
npm install -g netlify-cli
```

Learn more: https://docs.netlify.com/api-and-cli-guides/cli-guides/get-started-with-cli/

### Install Netlify Skills

Netlify Skills are focused, factual references for building with Netlify platform primitives, such as serverless functions, edge functions, async workloads, Netlify Database, Blobs storage, Image CDN, forms, redirects, headers, caching, and more. Install all available skills with:

```
npx skills add netlify/context-and-tools --skill '*' --yes
```

Learn more: https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-setup-guides/agent-setup-overview.md and https://github.com/netlify/context-and-tools

### Install Netlify MCP Server

The Netlify MCP Server lets code agents create projects, deploy sites, manage environment variables, and more using the Netlify API and CLI.

Add the following to your MCP configuration (e.g. `mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@netlify/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

For Claude Code, run: `claude mcp add --transport http netlify https://mcp.netlify.com/mcp`

Learn more: https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-setup-guides/agent-setup-overview.md

### Netlify API Reference

Full OpenAPI specification: https://open-api.netlify.com/

If you're an AI agent, check out https://netlify.ai for more info on how to deploy to the web autonomously.

## Serverless Functions
- [Netlify Functions Overview](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/overview.md): Use serverless functions to run on-demand, server-side code without having to run a dedicated server.
- [Get started with Functions](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/get-started.md): Create functions source files in TypeScript and JavaScript; use environment variables, manage dependencies, and test locally.
- [Background Functions](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/background-functions.md): Use Background Functions for long-running serverless functions that handle tasks like batch processing, scraping, and more.
- [Scheduled Functions](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/scheduled-functions.md): Enable Scheduled Functions to run serverless functions on a regular and consistent schedule, like a cron job.
- [Function logs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/logs.md): Observe and troubleshoot serverless functions using logs in the Netlify UI across your published deploy, branch deploys, and Deploy Previews.

## Grade against the llmstxt.org structure

The file passes all six checks. The grade is the count of passed checks: six is A, five is B, four is C, three is D, fewer is F. It measures structure only. Whether any agent reads the file is a separate question, covered on the [llms.txt reference](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt/).

| Check | Result | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Starts with an H1 naming the site or project | Pass | H1: LLM documentation for Netlify |
| Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. |
| Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 18 H2 sections, 16 with links. |
| At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 105 of 105 links stay on netlify.com (100 percent). |
| Under 100 KB | Pass | 25073 bytes as served. |
| Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. |

## Ora's cached score

Ora's cached report for docs.netlify.com gives it **64 of 100, grade C**, scanned on 22 July 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 30 of 60 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/docs.netlify.com on 5 November 2026. The score is Ora's, not this site's, and the structure grade above is a different measure: it grades the llms.txt file against the llmstxt.org proposal, while Ora's score covers the whole site. [Ora's report for docs.netlify.com](https://ora.ai/score/docs.netlify.com?utm_source=agentreadyhtml.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=index-entry) has every layer.

## Linking and the companion file

The home page of docs.netlify.com links the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens.

## How it compares

At 24 KB the file is larger than 82 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 105 links put it ahead of 81 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Curated example. Category: Developer docs.

Why it is in the index: Docs index titled for LLMs with many H2 sections. Owner as listed: Netlify.
