MCP server for accurate, up-to-date library documentation

Project description

ProContext

Documentation layer for AI coding agents

License: MIT Website Python 3.12+ Protocol

Your AI coding agent generates broken code because it relies on outdated, generic information.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Sources Web scraping and outdated search results Hand-picked, verified documentation sources - no scraping, no noise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.
