A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) server that provides AI assistants with documentation for libraries and frameworks.

Overview

What is Atlas Docs MCP Server

Atlas Docs MCP is a server designed to provide AI assistants with comprehensive technical documentation for various libraries and frameworks. It leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to ensure LLMs have access to the most relevant documentation necessary for accurate code generation and library usage.

Use cases

This server is particularly beneficial for AI models when generating code that utilizes less popular or newly released libraries. It allows models to reference documentation directly, improving the accuracy of code snippets and reducing errors associated with unfamiliar libraries.

How to use

To integrate Atlas Docs MCP into your workflow, you need to configure your MCP client (like Cursor, Cline, or Windsurf) by adding a specific server configuration in the JSON file. Additionally, you can install it automatically using Smithery by running a command tailored to your client.

Key features

Key features of Atlas Docs MCP include the ability to provide processed documentation in a clean markdown format, support for various MCP-compatible clients, and a range of available tools such as listing documentation sets, retrieving indices, conducting keyword searches, and fetching specific documentation pages.

Where to use

Atlas Docs MCP can be utilized in environments that support MCP clients integrating various libraries and frameworks. It’s particularly useful for AI development, programming education, and any application where accurate documentation access is essential for efficient coding and learning.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with documentation for libraries and frameworks.

[!WARNING]
Atlas Docs is currently in beta. Not everything might work perfectly, but we’re actively improving the service. Your patience and feedback are greatly appreciated!

What Does This Server Do?

LLMs are great at generating general code, but suck at correctly using less popular or newly released libraries. This isn’t surprising, since the models have not been trained comprehensively on code using these libraries.

Atlas Docs MCP server:

  • Provides technical documentation for libraries and frameworks
  • Processes the official docs into a clean markdown version for LLM consumption
  • Is easy to set up with Cursor, Cline, Windsurf and any other MCP-compatible LLM clients

📦 Installation

Atlas Docs MCP server works with any MCP client that supports the stdio protocol, including:

  • Cursor
  • Cline
  • Windsurf
  • Claude Desktop

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cartographai/atlas-docs-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

That’s it! You may need to restart the app (for Claude Desktop) for the server to be recognised.

Tip: Prompt your model to check the docs eg. “Use the tools to check the documentation for Astro to ensure that you use the library correctly.”

Installing via Smithery

Alternatively, you can install Atlas Docs MCP automatically via Smithery. Example for claude desktop:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @CartographAI/atlas-docs-mcp --client claude

Change “claude” to “cursor”, “cline” or “windsurf” for the respective clients.

📒 Available Libraries

Want docs for another library not in this list? Please open an issue in this repo, we’ll try to process and add it!

🔨 Available Tools

  1. list_docs: List all available documentation sets
  2. get_docs_index: Retrieves a condensed, LLM-friendly index of a documentation set
  3. get_docs_full: Retrieves a complete documentation set in a single consolidated file
  4. search_docs: Search a documentation set by keywords
  5. get_docs_page: Retrieves a specific page of a documentation set

💭 How It Works

Atlas Docs processes tech libraries’ documentation sites into clean, markdown versions. This MCP server provides the docs as MCP tools, calling Atlas Docs APIs for the data.

Running the backend locally

Please visit CartographAI/atlas and follow the instructions in the README.
Update ATLAS_API_URL with the url of your deployment.

Support & Feedback

Please open an issue in this repo to request docs for a library, or to report a bug.

If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, we’d love to hear from you. You can find us on Cartograph’s Discord comunity for real-time support, or email us at [email protected]

Tools

list_docs
Lists all available documentation libraries and frameworks. Use this as your first step to discover available documentation sets. Returns name, description and source url for each documentation set. Required before using other documentation tools since you need the docName.
search_docs
Searches a documentation set for specific content. Use this to find pages containing particular keywords, concepts, or topics. Returns matching pages ranked by relevance with their paths and descriptions. Follow up with get_docs_page to get full content.
get_docs_index
Retrieves a condensed, LLM-friendly index of the pages in a documentation set. Use this for initial exploration to understand what's covered and identify relevant pages. Returns a markdown page with a list of available pages. Follow up with get_docs_page to get full content.
get_docs_page
Retrieves a specific documentation page's content using its relative path. Use this to get detailed information about a known topic, after identifying the relevant page through get_docs_index or search_docs. Returns the complete content of a single documentation page.
get_docs_full
Retrieves the complete documentation content in a single consolidated file. Use this when you need comprehensive knowledge or need to analyze the full documentation context. Returns a large volume of text - consider using get_docs_page or search_docs for targeted information.
