mcp-server-docs

A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to documentation across multiple repositories. This server allows LLMs to search and retrieve documentation content from markdown files.

Features

• Browse documentation across multiple repositories
• Full markdown/MDX support with frontmatter parsing
• Automatic title and description extraction
• Documentation content exposed as MCP resources
• Search and fetch tools for documentation retrieval

Installation

Using uv

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run mcp-server-docs.

Using PIP

Install via pip:

pip install mcp-server-docs

Usage

The server needs to know which repositories to crawl for documentation. Provide these as repository mappings:

# Using uvx
uvx mcp-server-docs "mcp=/path/to/mcp/docs,anthropic=/path/to/anthropic/docs"

# Using pip installation
python -m mcp_server_docs "mcp=/path/to/mcp/docs,anthropic=/path/to/anthropic/docs"
