Hugo-native templates for API
reference documentation. Operations render as server-side HTML instead
of client-side Redoc, providing faster page loads, full SEO
indexability, and consistent styling.
Architecture:
- Tag-based navigation: operations grouped by OpenAPI tag, accessed
via tag pages only (no individual operation URLs)
- Generation script auto-discovers products from .config.yml files,
deriving Hugo paths and menu keys from directory structure
- Per-tag JSON/YAML chunks for fast Hugo template rendering
- Inline curl examples generated from OpenAPI specs at build time
Templates (layouts/api/, layouts/partials/api/):
- tag-renderer.html: renders all operations for a tag
- operation.html: individual operation with parameters, request body,
responses, and schema rendering
- code-sample.html: curl examples with Ask AI integration
- section-children.html: tag listing on section index pages
- all-endpoints-list.html: all operations sorted by path
Generation (api-docs/scripts/generate-openapi-articles.ts):
- Auto-discovery from .config.yml replaces hardcoded productConfigs
- Each API section generates independently (no cross-spec merging)
- Frontmatter-driven template data (specDownloadPath, articleDataKey)
- Link transformation: /influxdb/version/ placeholders resolved to
product-specific paths
Removed:
- Redoc renderer, JavaScript components, and CSS
- Shadow DOM test infrastructure (~160 lines)
- Operation page generation (dead generatePathPages function)
- mergeArticleData() and slugifyDisplayName()
Styles (assets/styles/layouts/_api-*.scss):
- 3-column layout: sidebar, content, sticky TOC
- Theme-aware code blocks for curl examples
- Method badges (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) with color coding
- Collapsible schema sections with depth tracking
Tests (cypress/e2e/content/api-reference.cy.js):
- Tag page rendering with operation structure
- Download button verification per section
- All-endpoints page with operation cards
- Related links from x-related OpenAPI extension
- Code sample and Ask AI link validation
* Initial plan
* feat: add Documentation MCP server pages to chronograf, kapacitor, flux, and explorer
Co-authored-by: jstirnaman <212227+jstirnaman@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: update MCP page descriptions to include product names
Co-authored-by: jstirnaman <212227+jstirnaman@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: resolve product-name shortcode for v1/v0 versioned products
The shortcode previously only checked the second URL path segment to
identify products, which works for InfluxDB 3 (/influxdb3/core/) but
fails for older products where the second segment is a version number
(/chronograf/v1/, /flux/v0/).
Add namespace extraction (first path segment) and conditional logic to
look up products by namespace when the version is v1 or v0. This fixes
empty product names in meta descriptions for Chronograf, Telegraf,
Kapacitor, Flux, and InfluxDB Enterprise v1.
* feat: relocate v2/cloud MCP pages and add alt_links for cross-product navigation
- Move MCP server pages from reference/ to tools/ for InfluxDB v2 and Cloud
- Add alt_links frontmatter to all MCP pages for cross-product navigation
- Use product-name shortcode in descriptions for consistency
- Convert code-placeholders shortcode to fenced code block attributes
- Update shared content to use version-agnostic URLs
* Add multi-assistant installation instructions for documentation MCP server (#6836)

* docs(influxdb3): document duplicate point write ordering and workarounds
Expand duplicate points documentation for Cloud Dedicated and Clustered
to address non-deterministic write ordering when duplicate points are
flushed together.
Changes:
- Add warning callout explaining duplicate point overwrites are non-deterministic
- Add recommended patterns section with append-only approaches
- Add SQL and InfluxQL query examples for getting latest state
- Add anti-patterns section with common mistakes to avoid
- Add retention guidance for last-value tables (Cloud Dedicated only)
- Add performance considerations for append-only patterns
- Add cross-links from schema-design and optimize-writes pages

* Apply suggestion from @jstirnaman
* fix(influxdb3): broken links and aliases:
The link in the cloud-serverless schema-design page was pointing to /influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/line-protocol/#duplicate-points, but the actual file is located at /influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/syntax/line-protocol/
Core/Ent3 aliases were missing trailing slash, preventing navigating directly from other product line protocol docs
* chore: cleanup
