# Welcome to Zuwiki

Zuwiki is a lightweight knowledge base for teams. It lets you collect documentation, onboarding notes, decisions, and shared know-how in one place, organize it into categories, and share it with the people who need it. Every wiki is either **public documentation** served on the web or an **internal knowledge** base that stays inside your organization, see [Public vs Internal Wikis](/access-sharing/public-vs-internal-wikis).

This wiki is the official starting point. If you are new, read the pages in **Getting Started** first. Once you are comfortable with the basics, the rest of the wiki goes deeper into how Zuwiki works and how it integrates with other tools.

## What is in this wiki

- **Getting Started** walks you through creating a wiki, choosing its mode, adding categories, and publishing your first page.
- **Core Concepts** explains the building blocks: wikis, categories, pages, lifecycle, and history.
- **Access & Sharing** covers who can see a wiki: public visibility, internal access grants, classification, and share links.
- **Editor Guide** covers Markdown, rich content blocks, links between pages, OpenAPI pages, and visual touches like icons.
- **Integrations** describes how Zuwiki talks to the outside world via the REST API, the MCP server, and OAuth.

## Why teams use Zuwiki

- **Public or internal.** Run public documentation sites and private internal knowledge bases side by side, each with its own access model.
- **Structure that scales.** Categories group related pages. Pages can nest. Nothing forces you into a flat list.
- **Safe edits.** Every save creates a history entry, so older versions are always recoverable.
- **Drafts and publishing.** Work on a page in draft, publish it once it is ready, archive it when it is no longer relevant.
- **AI ready.** A built in MCP server lets AI assistants read and edit wikis with OAuth based authorization.

## A typical first hour

1. Read this page and the three pages under **Getting Started**.
2. Skim **Core Concepts** so the vocabulary is familiar.
3. Create your own wiki for your team and write a first page.
4. Invite a teammate and ask them to leave one improvement.

If something is missing or unclear, open the page, edit it, and save. The next reader will thank you.
