Seems like the add_type method is missing from typeshed: https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/6a9b53e719a139c2d6b41cf265ed0990cf438192/stdlib/mimetypes.pyi#L42

Hello! Thanks for the report. As @tomasr8 said, type checking error is coming from the fact that Mimetypes.add_type isn't defined in the typeshed stubs. Actually, yes, we need to update our docs to add this method. Would you like to send a pull request?

FYI, here's the PR for typeshed: https://github.com/python/typeshed/pull/12329
