Your site is automatically optimized for AI tools and search engines. Fern serves Markdown instead of HTML to AI agents, reducing token consumption and helping these tools process your content faster. Your site hosts `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` files so LLMs can index your documentation efficiently.

Developers using your products can connect AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf directly to your docs through the MCP server that Fern hosts for your site. This gives users up-to-date information about your product right where they need it.

## Folder-based navigation

Auto-generate navigation from a folder of markdown files using the new `folder` configuration. Instead of manually listing each page in `docs.yml`, point to a folder. Fern discovers all `.md` and `.mdx` files and adds them to the navigation.
