A TypeScript MCP server for document management and semantic search with embeddings
Mcp documentation server mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with MCP Documentation Server directly. A TypeScript MCP server for document management and semantic search with embeddings.
Unlike other MCP servers that are CLI-only, this one ships with a full web dashboard — browse, search, upload, and manage your knowledge base from your browser. Every MCP tool is also exposed as a REST API, giving AI agents a lean, schema-free interface.
Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:
Minimal — The Minimal tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as skills, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 6 environment variables: MCP_BASE_DIR, GEMINI_API_KEY, MCP_EMBEDDING_MODEL, START_WEB_UI, WEB_HOST, WEB_PORT. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Knowledge and memory servers address the most frustrating trait of language models — walking into every conversation with no recollection of the last one. MCP Documentation Server sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Minimal — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other knowledge memory servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
