MCP server for accurate, up-to-date library documentation
Project description
ProContext
Documentation layer for AI coding agents
Your AI coding agent generates broken code because it relies on outdated, generic information.
ProContext fixes this by feeding it the reference docs it needs - correct version, right API, every time.
2000+ libraries · Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible tool
Why ProContext
| Without ProContext | With ProContext | |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Agent guesses APIs from stale training data | Agent reads from a curated registry of 2000+ libraries |
| Sources | Web scraping and outdated search results | Hand-picked, verified documentation sources - no scraping, no noise |
| Freshness | Docs go stale as libraries update | Registry refreshes automatically in the background |
| Speed | Repeated fetches hit the network every time | Every page cached after the first fetch - millisecond lookups |
| Context | Entire docs dumped into context | Large pages served in paginated windows to respect token limits |
| Precision | Agent scrolls through irrelevant content | Search within a page or browse its outline to jump to the right section |
| Safety | Arbitrary URL access risks data leaks | Fetches restricted to known documentation domains |
Quick Start
1. Install ProContext 🚀
If you want the smoothest setup, the installer scripts are a good default. They take care of prerequisites like uv and run the initial setup step for you.
Recommended: Installer Script
macOS and Linux
curl -fsSL https://procontext.dev/install.sh | bash
Windows
Run this in a PowerShell terminal:
irm https://procontext.dev/install.ps1 | iex
Alternative: Manual Install Using uvx
If you already have uv, you can install manually with:
uvx procontext setup
2. Verify The Install ✅
Run:
uvx procontext doctor
3. Add ProContext To Your MCP Client 🔌
Add ProContext to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"procontext": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["procontext"]
}
}
}
For local MCP integrations, do not start ProContext yourself in stdio mode. Your agent will launch it automatically after you add it to your MCP client. Start ProContext manually only when you want HTTP mode.
For alternate install paths, version pinning, troubleshooting, and installer reference details, see docs/installation.md and docs/installation-options.md.
ProContext works with any MCP-compatible tool. The Integration Guide has copy-paste configurations for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), OpenAI Codex CLI, and Amazon Q CLI. Both stdio (local) and HTTP (shared/remote) transports are supported.
Documentation
Registry
The library registry is maintained in a separate repository: procontexthq/procontexthq.github.io
If you want to add a library or update an existing entry, open a PR there rather than in this repository.
