Summary

Adds a new "See which agent is editing" section to the Mintlify MCP page covering a recent server change: when AI tools edit pages through the Mintlify MCP, the dashboard editor's live collaboration view now shows the specific agent (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) by name and icon, alongside the team member who authorized the OAuth connection.

The section explains:

  • Where the agent appears (editor cursor and selection avatars)
  • How the agent is detected (from the MCP client name during OAuth)
  • Which clients are recognized, with fallback behavior for unknown clients
  • That the authorizing user is tracked per edit, so teams can tell whose session triggered a given change

Source

Triggered by mintlify/server#4980, which adds dynamic agent identity and authorizing-user metadata to the admin MCP awareness service.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change describing how agent names/avatars and authorizing users appear in the Mintlify editor; no product logic is modified.

Overview
Adds a new “See which agent is editing” section to the Mintlify MCP docs explaining that the dashboard editor’s live collaboration view now shows the AI client (by name/icon) and the authorizing user for MCP-driven edits.

Documents how agent identification is derived from the MCP client name during OAuth, lists recognized clients with fallback behavior for unknown clients, and notes which MCP operations (edit_page, write_page, create_node) surface this identity in real time.
