mendix-doc-mcp 0.3.0

MCP server for searching and browsing Mendix documentation

Mendix Documentation MCP Server

MCP server that provides full-text search over 4,000+ Mendix documentation pages. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client.

Version-aware search across Studio Pro 8–11, powered by SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking. Auto-builds the index on first run — no setup required.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client config:

Claude Code (~/.claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mendix-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mendix-doc-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mendix-docs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mendix-doc-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code (MCP settings):

{
  "mendix-docs": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mendix-doc-mcp"]
  }
}

First run clones the mendix/docs repo and builds the search index (~70 seconds). Subsequent runs start instantly.

Tools

search_mendix_docs

Search documentation by keyword. Returns ranked results with snippets.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
query	string	required	Search keywords
version	string	"11"	Studio Pro version: "8", "9", "10", "11"
max_results	int	5	Max results (1–20)

get_mendix_doc

Retrieve full Markdown content of a specific page.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description

How It Works

1. Clones mendix/docs (shallow, ~500MB)
2. Parses 4,000+ Markdown files with Hugo front matter
3. Builds SQLite FTS5 index with BM25 ranking
4. Serves via MCP (stdio or Streamable HTTP)

Index and repo are cached locally:

• macOS: ~/Library/Caches/mendix-doc-mcp/
• Linux: ~/.cache/mendix-doc-mcp/

To refresh the index, delete the cache directory and restart.

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
