# Contextual menu

> Add one-click AI integrations to your docs.

export const PreviewButton = ({children, href}) => {
  return <a href={href} className="text-sm font-medium text-white dark:!text-zinc-950 bg-zinc-900 hover:bg-zinc-700 dark:bg-zinc-100 hover:dark:bg-zinc-300 rounded-full px-3.5 py-1.5 not-prose">
        {children}
      </a>;
};

The contextual menu provides quick access to AI-optimized content and direct integrations with popular AI tools. When users select the contextual menu on any page, they can copy content as context for AI tools or open conversations in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or a custom tool of your choice with your documentation already loaded as context.

## Menu options

The contextual menu includes several pre-built options that you can enable by adding their identifier to your configuration.

| Option                  | Identifier   | Description                                                              |

| **Copy MCP server URL** | `mcp`        | Copies your MCP server URL to the clipboard                              |

## Enabling the contextual menu

Add the `contextual` field to your `docs.json` file and specify which options you want to include.

```json theme={null}
{
 "contextual": {
   "options": [
     "copy",
     "view",
     "chatgpt",
     "claude",
     "perplexity",
     "mcp",
     "cursor",
     "vscode"
   ]
 }
}
```

## Adding custom options

Create custom options in the contextual menu by adding an object to the `options` array. Each custom option requires these properties:

<ResponseField name="title" type="string" required>
  The title of the option.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="description" type="string" required>
  The description of the option. Displayed beneath the title when the contextual menu is expanded.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="icon" type="string" required>
  The icon to display.

  Options:

  * [Font Awesome icon](https://fontawesome.com/icons) name
  * [Lucide icon](https://lucide.dev/icons) name
  * JSX-compatible SVG code wrapped in curly braces
  * URL to an externally hosted icon
  * Path to an icon file in your project

  For custom SVG icons:

  1. Convert your SVG using the [SVGR converter](https://react-svgr.com/playground/).
  2. Paste your SVG code into the SVG input field.
  3. Copy the complete `<svg>...</svg>` element from the JSX output field.
  4. Wrap the JSX-compatible SVG code in curly braces: `icon={<svg ...> ... </svg>}`.
  5. Adjust `height` and `width` as needed.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="iconType" type="string">
  The [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/icons) icon style. Only used with Font Awesome icons.

  Options: `regular`, `solid`, `light`, `thin`, `sharp-solid`, `duotone`, `brands`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="href" type="string | object" required>
  The href of the option. Use a string for simple links or an object for dynamic links with query parameters.

  <Expandable title="href object">
    <ResponseField name="base" type="string" required>
      The base URL for the option.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="query" type="object" required>
      The query parameters for the option.

      <Expandable title="query object">
        <ResponseField name="key" type="string" required>
          The query parameter key.
        </ResponseField>

        <ResponseField name="value" type="string" required>
          The query parameter value. We will replace the following placeholders with the corresponding values:

          * Use `$page` to insert the current page content in Markdown.
          * Use `$path` to insert the current page path.
          * Use `$mcp` to insert the hosted MCP server URL.
        </ResponseField>
      </Expandable>
    </ResponseField>
  </Expandable>
</ResponseField>
