Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server MCP Docs Server for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "docs": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@praveenc/mcp-docs-server" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the MCP Docs Server tools really show up.

Common questions

Is MCP Docs Server safe?

It passed 1 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 11 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 11 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Docs Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for searching MCP protocol documentation. Built with TypeScript using the official MCP SDK.

Features

BM25 Search - High-quality ranked search using BM25 algorithm with Porter stemming
Fast Startup - Indexes document titles at startup, fetches content on-demand
Markdown Aware - Weights headers, code blocks, and links for better relevance
stdio Transport - Runs as a local process for easy integration

Installation

Quick Start (Recommended)

Add to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Kiro, etc.):

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

That's it! The server will be downloaded and run automatically.

Global Install

npm install -g @praveenc/mcp-docs-server

Then configure your MCP client:

"mcpServers": { "mcp-docs-server": { "command": "mcp-docs-server" } } }

Tools

search_mcp_docs

Search MCP protocol documentation with ranked results.

Parameters:

query (string, required): Search query string
k (number, optional): Maximum results to return (default: 5). Returns fewer if fewer documents match.

Example:

"query": "transports", "k": 5 }

Returns:

{ "url": "https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/transports.md", "title": "Transports", "score": 15.725, "snippet": "MCP uses JSON-RPC to encode messages..." } ]

fetch_mcp_doc

Fetch full document content by URL.

Parameters:

uri (string, required): Document URL from modelcontextprotocol.io

Example:

"uri": "https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/tools.md" }

Returns:

"url": "https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/tools.md", "title": "Tools", "content": "# Tools\n\nTools enable servers to expose executable functionality..." }

Search Algorithm

The search uses BM25 (Best Matching 25) with enhancements:

Porter Stemming - Matches word variants (e.g., "running" → "run")
Bigrams - Captures phrase matches (e.g., "tool input")
Weighted Scoring:
Title matches: 3-8x boost
Header matches: 4x weight
Code blocks: 2x weight
Link text: 2x weight
Domain Term Preservation - Technical terms like "mcp", "json", "stdio" are not stemmed
