Documentation & install
Readme and setup notes from the catalogue, plus a client-ready config you can copy for your MCP host.
Installation
Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.
Configuration
View docs{
"mcpServers": {
"mahawi1992-mcp-documentation-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-documentation-server"
],
"env": {
"BRAVE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_BRAVE_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}You can run a dedicated MCP server that powers AI-assisted documentation and code improvement workflows, integrated with Claude Desktop. This server exposes a focused capability set to analyze, improve, and retrieve documentation and code guidance within your development environment.
How to use
You use the MCP server by configuring your MCP client to connect to the local or remote server you run. Once connected, you can search for framework and language documentation, request code improvement suggestions, and retrieve AI-generated guidance for your projects. Typical workflows include looking up Next.js App Router best practices, analyzing Python snippets for security improvements, and asking for up-to-date documentation topics across supported frameworks.
How to install
Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your machine.
Step 1: Install the MCP Documentation Server package globally.
npm install -g mcp-documentation-server
Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop to connect to the server. Create or edit the configuration to include the documentation MCP entry as shown.
{
"mcpServers": {
"documentation": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-documentation-server"],
"env": {
"BRAVE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_BRAVE_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
Step 3: Start using the server with Claude. For example, you can ask Claude to search documentation for a topic like Next.js App Router.
Additional setup notes
The documentation server exposes a single MCP endpoint named documentation. It is a stdio type MCP server that runs via npx and passes through your configuration for integration with Claude Desktop.
