Start from a structure instead of a blank page. Five page templates are built into the OpenDocs editor, and six site blueprints show how to build a whole docs site with Claude in one conversation.
When you create a page, the template picker offers Blank plus these five. Picking one pre-fills the block editor with headings and placeholder text that you replace. The Claude connector’s create_page tool accepts the same template keys.

Before you run a blueprint: connect OpenDocs from Claude’s connector directory with read-and-edit access. The connector works on every plan, including Free. Each blueprint creates one new space, and the Free plan includes 1 space, so on Free run one blueprint or ask Claude to build it inside your existing space. New spaces start unpublished, so nothing is live until you ask Claude to publish the space or publish it yourself. Claude asks before it replaces a page’s text, and every change is saved in page history.

Use OpenDocs with Claude
Connect from claude.ai or Claude Desktop, see every tool Claude can use, and how readers add your docs.
Which page templates does the OpenDocs editor include?
Six: Blank, Getting Started, API Reference, Changelog, FAQ and Troubleshooting. When you create a page, choose one in the template picker and the block editor opens pre-filled with its headings and placeholder text.
Can Claude create pages from these templates?
Yes. The OpenDocs connector’s create_page tool accepts the same template keys: blank, getting-started, api-reference, changelog, faq and troubleshooting. Name the template and the space in your request, for example “create a Troubleshooting page from the template in my Support space”.
Do I need a paid plan to use the blueprints?
No. The Claude connector for claude.ai and Claude Desktop works on every plan, including Free. The Free plan includes 1 space, and each blueprint creates one, so on Free run one blueprint or ask Claude to build it inside your existing space. Claude Code connects with an API key, which needs an Enterprise or Compliance plan.
Will the new site go live as soon as Claude builds it?
No. Spaces Claude creates start unpublished, so readers see nothing until the space is published. The blueprint prompts ask Claude to stop and show you the page tree; publish when you are ready, by asking Claude or from OpenDocs.
What language is the template text in?
The template headings and placeholder text are in English. Ask Claude to fill the page in the language you need, or edit it in the editor. When Claude creates a space it can also set the space’s language, for example Spanish or Portuguese.
Can I change the structure after Claude builds it?
Yes. Ask Claude to rename, move or reorder pages and sections, or change them in the OpenDocs editor. Every change Claude makes is saved in page history, so you can restore an earlier version.
