Mcp Docs
What is Mcp Docs
mcp_docs is a tool that provides documentation about your Elixir project’s functions and the functions of its dependencies to a Language Model (LLM) through an SSE MCP server.
Use cases
Use cases for mcp_docs include providing real-time documentation for Elixir functions during development, assisting in code inspections, and enhancing the capabilities of language models when interacting with Elixir codebases.
How to use
To use mcp_docs, include it in your project’s dependencies and start the SSE server using the command ‘mix mcp_docs.start’. You can specify a port if needed.
Key features
Key features include the ability to serve documentation for Elixir projects and their dependencies, support for manual recompilation, and future enhancements like automatic recompilation and module documentation lookup.
Where to use
mcp_docs can be used in software development environments, particularly for Elixir projects where documentation needs to be accessible to language models for better understanding and interaction.

McpDocs
Provide documentation about your Elixir project’s functions and functions of dependencies to an LLM through an SSE MCP server.
See the example project for more information.
This code was written in part by Claude Sonnet 3.5
Installation
def deps do
[
{:mcp_docs, github: "josiahdahl/mcp_docs", runtime: false, only: [:test, :dev]}
]
end
Usage
# Start the SSE server on the default port of 9702
mix mcp_docs.start
# Start on a specific port
mix mcp_docs.start --port 1234
You can also run with iex -S mix mcp_docs.start to allow for manual recompiling of code.
You can use npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector to try it out on your code base.
Roadmap
- [ ] Automatically recompile on changes
- [ ] Look up module documentation
- [ ] Look up callback documentation
