Blume
Blume is an open-source, markdown-first documentation framework powered by Astro and Vite that converts a folder of Markdown or MDX files into a production-grade site. It operates with a zero-config philosophy, managing navigation, search, and theming automatically while offering an escape hatch to a standalone Astro project via the CLI.
As of August 2026, version 1.5.1 has been released, featuring improvements such as CJK/Thai search tokenization, advanced agent-driven i18n translation, and enhanced WebMCP tool registration on pages.
