About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Fumadocs is a React documentation framework combining MDX content, navigation, search, code highlighting, and docs-oriented UI. It centers on Next.js while also providing templates for Astro with React and several Vite-based frameworks.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Key features

Turn MDX content into documentation navigation and UI

Documentation content can live in MDX and feed sidebars, breadcrumbs, tables of contents, search, and other docs-oriented components.

Sources: [2][5]

Choose templates for several React frameworks

create-fumadocs-app supports Next.js, Astro, React Router, TanStack Start, Waku, and related templates.

Sources: [5]

Best fit

Fits libraries, APIs, and products that want docs versioned with code

It works well when documentation should stay in Git and MDX and use the same frontend build and deployment workflow as application code.

Before adoption

Packages are ESM-only

The README explicitly states that all packages are ESM-only, which matters when integrating with CommonJS-oriented tooling.

Sources: [2]

CLI and core versions can follow different lines

fumadocs-core is 16.15.17 while the create-fumadocs-app package at the same release tag reports 16.2.12. Check versions per package rather than assuming lockstep releases.

Supplemental curator note

Fumadocs is a documentation framework and toolkit for Next.js, Astro with React, TanStack Start, Waku, React Router, and related stacks. Packages are ESM-only. The core release is 16.15.17, while create-fumadocs-app at that tag is on a separate 16.2.12 version line, so CLI and core package versions should not be assumed to match.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Create a Fumadocs app

    Use the create-fumadocs-app CLI version present at the Fumadocs 16.15.17 release tag to generate a Next.js + Fumadocs MDX project.

    npx create-fumadocs-app@16.2.12 my-docs --template +next+fuma-docs-mdx --install --yes
  2. 2

    Enter the project

    Move into the generated documentation project.

    cd my-docs
  3. 3

    Start the development server

    Run the local docs site and inspect MDX content, navigation, and search.

    npm run dev
Check the official README
