About Web
Dosu is a knowledge infrastructure platform that automatically captures and maintains documentation from your team's coding activity. It integrates with coding agents via MCP to build a shared, up-to-date knowledge base without requiring manual effort. Dosu reduces token usage and agent run times by providing consistent context, self-documenting pull requests, and support for syncing existing docs. It offers pricing tiers from free (public repos, 200 credits/month) to pro ($16/month) and enterprise (custom), with integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Confluence, Notion, and more.
