## About the CLI
Use the [CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mint) to preview your documentation locally, test changes in real time, and run quality checks before deploying to production.
The CLI runs on your machine and connects to your Mintlify deployment when you need live data.
### Preview locally
Run `mint dev` to preview your documentation at `localhost:3000`. As you write and update your content, changes appear in real time without deploying. Log in to enable search and the AI assistant in your local preview.
### Run quality checks
Run `mint broken-links` to find broken links, `mint a11y` to check accessibility, and `mint validate` to validate your documentation build before it reaches production.
### Check agent readiness
Run `mint score` to evaluate how well agents can navigate a documentation site. With no arguments, the command scores your configured subdomain. Pass a URL to score any other site. The command displays an overall readiness score and individual check results.
### Detect AI-sounding prose
Run `mint deslop` to check pages for AI-generated prose and get human-style rewrite suggestions. With no arguments, the command checks the pages you have changed. It flags the specific passages that read as AI-generated so you can revise them.
### Manage configuration
Run `mint config` to set persistent defaults like your documentation subdomain.
<Tip>
Working on your docs locally with an AI coding tool? Install the Mintlify [skill](/ai/skillmd) and [MCP server](/ai/model-context-protocol) so your editor has the context it needs to write Mintlify-aware content.
