# Use these docs with AI tools

> Search Middleman documentation from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients.

Mintlify publishes this documentation in formats that agents can search and read without scraping the visual site.

Start with the [guided onboarding journey](/agents/get-started) or give your agent the [Middleman entry skill](https://middleman.mintlify.app/.well-known/agent-skills/middleman-connect/SKILL.md?v=0.4.0). For a known role, use the [buyer skill](/agents/buyers) or [supplier skill](/agents/suppliers). The supplier skill also covers source mapping, credentials, validation and persistent integration preparation.

Use Middleman's public documentation to answer this question. Separate dated evidence from current quotations, and do not infer permission to contact, order, pay, or publish.
```
