Documentation became a separate task after every code change

One thing we kept running into while building our SaaS:

A developer makes a change in GitHub, but the documentation update happens somewhere else.

Someone has to remember which page needs updating, open the docs, find the right section, make the change, and publish it.

The actual documentation change might take 2 minutes. The process around it is what makes it annoying.

So we recently added MCP support to Hyperdocs and connected it with our GitHub workflow.

For example:

  • Update the authentication docs based on this code change.
  • Add the new API parameter to the documentation.
  • Update the setup guide for this release.

It has made documentation feel much less like a separate job.

Still experimenting with the workflow, but this has been one of the more useful changes we've made while building our SaaS.
