Mintlify adds WebMCP support, gates it behind Starter
Mintlify added a new "WebMCP support" row to its feature comparison table, placed between "MCP server" and "User feedback," and marked it "Not included" on the Starter plan — meaning it ships on Pro and Enterprise.

WHY IT MATTERS
WebMCP is an early-stage protocol, and Mintlify disclosing support for it (even gated) signals it's tracking the space closely. Watch whether Starter eventually gets access, or whether this becomes another line item used to push upgrades as MCP tooling matures.
BY THE NUMBERS
- 8 days since Mintlify's last pricing change (Sep 14, 2026)
- 11 pricing changes in the last 90 days, avg cadence of 29 days
- 9th tracked feature-comparison addition for Mintlify
- Feature additions made up 17.4% of 5,645 changes tracked in the last 180 days
THEIR RATIONALE
The addition lands just eight days after Mintlify's last pricing-page change and fits a fast, ongoing cadence: 11 changes in the last 90 days against a 29-day average gap between changes. It's the company's ninth tracked feature-table addition, continuing a run of AI/agent-tooling disclosures rather than a one-off.
THE SIGNAL
Feature-table additions are common industry-wide, but few companies are iterating as fast as Mintlify right now. Gating WebMCP to paid tiers extends a pattern already visible in its recent moves — new agent and MCP capabilities keep landing above Starter, not within it, as the company builds out its AI surface area.
IN CONTEXT
Mintlify's WebMCP row lands just eight days after its Agents table revealed AI credit costs, continuing an unusually fast cadence — 11 pricing-page changes in the last 90 days versus a 29-day average gap. This is the company's ninth tracked feature-comparison addition, following moves like AI translations added to Agents and Analytics data warehouse streaming. Feature-table additions are common industry-wide — 983 of the 5,645 changes tracked in the last six months, spanning 647 companies, with Datadog and HubSpot the most frequent — but few companies are iterating as fast as Mintlify right now. Locking WebMCP support behind Starter fits its established pattern of gating new agent capabilities to paid tiers.
