About MDN

MDN Web Docs is a documentation site for open web technologies. The homepage states that it documents CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, and it covers APIs for websites and progressive web apps. The site has been documenting these technologies since 2005.

The homepage shows featured articles, a blog, and news items on topics such as the Navigation API, the Trusted Types API, CSS anchor positioning, and view transitions. It also lists recent changes to MDN's content repositories and includes translated content, such as French updates to Window API pages. The homepage also announces an MCP server that brings MDN documentation and browser compatibility data into an editor or IDE for use with an LLM or coding agent. The excerpt does not describe setup steps or every topic the site covers.
