What is the Credos MCP server?

If you already use Credos, the credos mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Share your team's Coding Best Practices with Cursor, VS Code, Claude code, Windsurf, JetBrains IDEs and other coding tools supporting remote MCP connection.

What the server does

AI-powered semantic search over React documentation for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

  • 🔑 No API Key — Unlike hosted docs services (Context7, GitMCP), everything runs on your machine — no account, no key, no rate limits
  • 🔌 Works Offline — Clones the official react.dev docs repo once, then searches locally — no network calls at query time
  • 🔍 Semantic Search — AI-powered search using embeddings for conceptual matches
  • ⚡ Fast Results — In-memory vector search with hybrid keyword+semantic ranking
  • 📦 Zero Config — Works with npx - no installation needed
  • 🤖 Local AI — Runs embeddings locally (no API costs)

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server
  • search_react_docs — The search_react_docs tool exposed by this server
  • get_doc — The get_doc tool exposed by this server
  • list_sections — The list_sections tool exposed by this server
  • update_docs — The update_docs tool exposed by this server
  • Resources — The server exposes documentation as resources with the URI pattern:
  • Build — The Build tool exposed by this server

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Where it fits

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Credos's toolset — Cursor, Tools, search_react_docs and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.

This entry was verified against Credos's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Credos to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 8 tools (Cursor, Tools, search_react_docs, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Credos directly.
