# How to Verify and Monitor Your Documentation Deployment
This guide shows you how to verify your deployed documentation site and monitor deployment health using DocuMCP's built-in tools.
## Quick Setup
```bash
# Verify your deployment:
"verify my GitHub Pages deployment and check for issues"
```
## Deployment Verification Overview
DocuMCP provides deployment verification and health monitoring capabilities:
### Verification Features
- **Deployment Status**: Check if GitHub Pages deployment succeeded
- **Site Accessibility**: Verify your site is reachable
- **Content Validation**: Check documentation accuracy and links
- **Build Health**: Monitor deployment pipeline health
### Health Monitoring
- **Deployment Analytics**: Track success/failure rates over time
- **Build Time Monitoring**: Monitor deployment performance
- **Error Detection**: Identify common deployment issues
## Setup Methods
### Method 1: Deployment Verification
```bash
# Verify deployment status:
"verify my GitHub Pages deployment and check for issues"
```
This will:
1. Check GitHub Pages deployment status
2. Verify site accessibility
3. Validate documentation links
4. Check content accuracy
5. Generate health report
### Method 2: Content Validation
#### Step 1: Link Checking
```bash
# Check documentation links:
"check all my documentation links for broken references"
```
#### Step 2: Content Accuracy
```bash
# Validate content accuracy:
"validate my documentation content for errors and inconsistencies"
```
#### Step 3: Deployment Health
```bash
# Check deployment health:
"analyze my deployment health and provide recommendations"
```
## Deployment Health Monitoring
### Using MCP Tools
```typescript
// Check deployment verification
import { verifyDeployment } from "./dist/tools/verify-deployment.js";
const verification = await verifyDeployment({
repository: "username/repo-name",
url: "https://username.github.io/repo-name",
});
// Check documentation links
import { checkDocumentationLinks } from "./dist/tools/check-documentation-links.js";
const linkCheck = await checkDocumentationLinks({
documentation_path: "./docs",
check_external_links: true,
check_internal_links: true,
});
```
### Key Health Indicators
- **Deployment Success**: GitHub Pages build status
- **Link Health**: Broken/working link ratio
- **Content Accuracy**: Documentation validation score
- **Build Performance**: Deployment time trends
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Problem**: Deployment verification fails
**Solution**: Check GitHub Pages settings and repository permissions
**Problem**: Link checker reports false broken links
**Solution**: Verify external link accessibility and adjust timeout settings
**Problem**: Content validation shows low accuracy
**Solution**: Review code examples and update outdated documentation
**Problem**: Health score seems low
**Solution**: Analyze deployment failures and optimize configurations
## Advanced Configuration
### Custom Validation
```yaml
# validation-config.yml
validation:
links:
timeout: 30s
check_external: true
check_internal: true
content:
accuracy_threshold: 70
include_code_validation: true
deployment:
health_threshold: 80
track_build_times: true
```
### Integration Options
- **GitHub Actions**: Automated validation in CI/CD workflows
- **MCP Tools**: Direct integration with documcp verification tools
- **Custom Scripts**: Tailored monitoring solutions
## Best Practices
1. **Set Realistic Thresholds**: Avoid alert fatigue
2. **Monitor Key Pages**: Focus on critical documentation
3. **Regular Reviews**: Check metrics weekly
4. **Automated Responses**: Set up auto-healing where possible
