MCP Documentation Server

You deploy this MCP server to serve documentation content for applications using the Model Context Protocol. It centralizes quickstart guides and code examples, making it easy for MCP clients to discover and interact with documentation endpoints.

How to use

To access the MCP documentation server from an MCP client, run the server locally and connect to the provided MCP endpoint. You can also test individual tools using an MCP inspector to browse available tools like quickstart and code_examples.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing this MCP server:

uv init
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install fastapi uvicorn openai fastmcp
uvicorn app.main:app

Additional content

Configure and start the server, connect MCP clients, and test via the MCP Inspector. The server exposes documentation tools under the MCP namespace which you can use from compatible MCP clients such as Claude Desktop.

Start script access and local testing steps are provided to help you run the server during development.

chmod +x scripts/start.sh
./scripts/start.sh

To connect Claude Desktop to this MCP server, add a new MCP server configuration with the following settings in Claude's MCP Server Configs.

{
  "AppDocsServer": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "mcp-remote",
      "http://localhost:8000/mcp-app-docs-server/mcp"
    ]
  }
}

Test the available MCP tools with the MCP Inspector by launching the inspector and connecting to the server. This lets you interact with the tools exposed by the server, such as quickstart and code_examples.

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
