What is the Credos MCP Server?

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)

More MCP options

Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
