What it does for this layer
- Apidog's published-docs AI settings live under Publish Docs, Publish Docs Sites, AI Features, where llms.txt generation, the Copy page button and the MCP button are switched on. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- With the llms.txt option on, Apidog writes /llms.txt at the docs site root linking every markdown page with a short description. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog gives each published documentation page a markdown version at the same URL plus .md, which its docs suggest pasting into tools such as Cursor. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog keeps password, IP allowlist and email allowlist rules in force for llms.txt and .md files, so protected sites still ask agents to authenticate. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog's blog post of 2025-04-16 announced llms.txt and .md endpoints for published docs and described the llms.txt option as on by default. [primary source, 2025-04-16] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog's MCP Server can read online docs published by Apidog through a site-id in the IDE's mcp.json, but only for publicly published sites without password or allowlist settings. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog's site-wide SEO settings for a docs site cover global meta tags with variables such as PAGE_TITLE, an editable robots.txt, a sitemap.xml switch, redirect rules and URL naming rules; pages can override title, description and slug. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- In Apidog the sitemap.xml is a switch: turning it off removes the file and also drops the Sitemap line that the SITEMAP_URL variable fills in robots.txt. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog's docs present redirect rules as the way to keep old URLs from returning 404 after published doc URLs change. [primary source] source, read 5 November 2026.
- Apidog lists Free for up to 4 users, Basic at $9, Professional at $18 and Enterprise at $27 per user per month billed annually; the plan table ticks LLMs.txt support and unlimited custom domains for documentation. [primary source, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.
- On 2026-11-05 a page on docs.apidog.com, whose footer shows Built with and the Apidog logo, returned 200 text/markdown at 13,662 bytes for Accept: text/markdown, the same as its .md URL, with no Accept in the Vary header. [observed, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.
- On 2026-11-05 a made-up path on docs.apidog.com returned HTTP 404, while a curl GET of the apidog.com marketing homepage returned 207,109 bytes of HTML with no title or h1 text, so the marketing pages rely on client-side rendering. [observed, 2026-11-05] source, read 5 November 2026.

What it does not do
- Apidog's markdown response on docs.apidog.com did not add Accept to Vary on 2026-11-05, so a shared cache could hand HTML and markdown to the wrong client.
- Apidog's documentation MCP connection skips sites behind a password or allowlist; for those its docs point to the Apidog Project data source instead.
- Apidog's own docs and pricing pages state no JSON-LD output, and no ld+json block was in the docs.apidog.com SEO page HTML fetched on 2026-11-05.
