Augments MCP Server - A comprehensive framework documentation provider for Claude Code
Augments MCP Server - A comprehensive framework documentation provider for Claude Code. That is what the augments mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A next-generation framework documentation provider for Claude Code via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Returns types + prose + examples with context-aware formatting for any npm package — not just curated ones.
The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:
get_api_context — Primary tool. Returns API signatures, prose documentation, and code examples for any npm package. Handles natural language queries with intentsearch_apis — Search for APIs across frameworks by keyword or concept. 25 synonym clusters ("state" matches useState, createStore, atom, etc)get_version_info — Get npm version info, compare versions, and detect breaking changes backed by real changelogsget_migration_guide — New. Cross-version migration guide with breaking changes, new features, deprecations, type diffs, and official migration docsdiagnose_error — New. Diagnose errors using curated patterns, GitHub Issues search, and troubleshooting docscompare_packages — New. Compare 2-5 npm packages: downloads, bundle size, GitHub stars, dependencies, exported APIsscan_project_deps — New. Scan package.json for outdated, deprecated, and insecure dependenciesdiagnostics — Server health: version, uptime, memory, cache stats, Node.js versionCursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverUsage — The Usage tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @augmnt-sh/augments-mcp-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: GITHUB_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Augments's toolset — get_api_context, search_apis, get_version_info and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by augmnt; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

### Cursor
Add to your MCP config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"augments": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@augmnt-sh/augments-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| GITHUB_TOKEN | Credential the server authenticates with. | Yes |
A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
