KodaDocs

End-user ready help docs for your web app — generated in minutes, not written over weeks.

Most doc tools produce developer-facing references. KodaDocs produces the kind of help center your customers actually use: annotated screenshots, step-by-step guides, Getting Started walkthroughs, FAQ, and troubleshooting — all written in plain language, styled with your branding, and ready to ship the moment it's generated.

Install the MCP tool, tell Claude "Generate docs for my app", and get a complete, polished help center. No editing pass required. Free to self-host. Pro Kit ($29 one-time) for unlimited pages, 12 skill workflows, and all premium themes.

Quick Start

Add the MCP server to your Claude Code config (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kodadocs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["kodadocs", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Install the browser for screenshots (one-time):

uvx --with kodadocs playwright install chromium

Then tell Claude:

"Generate help docs for my app"

Claude reads your code, captures screenshots, writes user-facing documentation, and assembles a ready-to-ship help center — all through MCP tools. The output is end-user ready: your customers can start using it immediately.

What You Get

The output isn't a rough draft — it's a production help center your users can navigate on day one:

• Getting Started guide that walks new users through setup and first actions
• Feature guides with numbered, annotated screenshots showing exactly where to click
• FAQ and Troubleshooting pages covering common questions and error states
• Full-text search, responsive layout, and your brand colors baked in
• Deployable immediately — no review cycle, no copy-editing, no formatting cleanup

How It Works (via MCP tools)

MCP Tools

Claude Code Skill

KodaDocs includes a skill file that teaches Claude how to orchestrate the full pipeline. To install it, copy skill/kodadocs.md into your project's .claude/skills/ directory:

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp skill/kodadocs.md .claude/skills/kodadocs.md

Doc generation is never gated — free or Pro.

API Key

KodaDocs requires an Anthropic API key to generate documentation.

With Claude Code (MCP): The API key is provided automatically — no setup needed.

With the CLI: Set the key in your environment or in a .env file in your project root:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

Or create a .env file in your project directory:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

KodaDocs loads .env automatically — no extra dependencies required.

CLI

KodaDocs also has CLI commands for direct usage without Claude Code:

kodadocs generate .                              # Run full pipeline
kodadocs generate . --url http://localhost:3000   # Override app URL
kodadocs deploy . --provider cloudflare           # Deploy to provider
kodadocs init .                                   # Interactive setup wizard
kodadocs config .                                 # View/update config
kodadocs mcp                                      # Start MCP server
