Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to https://www.mintlify.com/guides/introduction or https://docs.continue.dev/troubleshooting
  2. Open the Assistant chat (usually in the bottom right corner)
  3. Type a message and press Enter
  4. The message fails to send and no response is received

Expected Behavior
The Assistant should receive the message and provide a response.

Actual Behavior
The request fails with a CORS error, and no response is returned.

Environment

  • Browser: Chrome/142.0.0.0
  • Operating System: Windows 11
  • Date/Time: 2025-11-16 2:20

Additional Context
This appears to be an issue with the Mintlify documentation platform's Assistant API (leaves.mintlify.com) not properly configured for CORS requests from the docs.continue.dev domain. This may require coordination with Mintlify support or configuration changes on the Continue.dev documentation setup.

Possible Solutions

  1. Check CORS configuration on Mintlify's side
  2. Verify the Mintlify API integration settings in the documentation repository
  3. Contact Mintlify support if this is a third-party service issue`
