Blume
Blume is an open-source, markdown-first documentation framework built on Astro and Vite that turns a folder of Markdown files into a production-grade site with zero configuration. It is specifically designed to be AI-ready, offering built-in support for llms.txt, MCP servers, and raw Markdown outputs to facilitate seamless documentation indexing for AI agents.
Version 1.4.3 includes expanded agent-facing capabilities, a built-in test suite (blume eval), and automated site auditing tools (blume audit) to replace external SEO crawlers.
