# Ownsite Docs

> Ownsite is your own corner of the internet: a home page, a blog, a private journal and any other page, on your own domain, managed from one app, by you or by an AI you allow.

Every page below is plain Markdown. All of them in one file: https://docs.ownsite.me/llms-full.txt. An AI connected to a person's site through MCP (https://mcp.ownsite.me/mcp) can also read the in-app manual with the tools search_manual and read_manual_article.
