## About the CLI
Use the [CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mint) to preview your documentation locally, test changes in real time, analyze site performance, 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.
### Analyze your documentation
Run `mint analytics` to view traffic, search queries, user feedback, and AI assistant conversations directly from the terminal. Useful for quick checks, scripting, and piping data into other tools.
### 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 <url>` to evaluate how well agents can navigate a documentation site. The command displays an overall readiness score and individual check results.
### Manage configuration
Run `mint config` to set persistent defaults like your documentation subdomain and date ranges for analytics commands.
## Next steps
- [Install the CLI](/cli/install): Get the CLI installed and ready to use.
- [Preview locally](/cli/preview): Run a local development server with search and assistant support.
- [Analyze your documentation](/cli/analytics): View analytics data from the terminal.
- [Commands](/cli/commands): Complete reference for all commands and flags.
