rtfmbro provides always-up-to-date, version-specific package documentation as context for coding agents. An alternative to context7
Connect Rtfmbro to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. rtfmbro provides always-up-to-date, version-specific package documentation as context for coding agents. An alternative to context7. The rtfmbro mcp server is what makes that connection.
rtfmbro is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides real-time, version-aware documentation fetching for packages across multiple ecosystems. It bridges the gap between AI agents and accurate, up-to-date package documentation by fetching docs directly from GitHub repositories at the exact version your project uses.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
get_readme — Fetches and returns the README file for a specific package versionget_documentation_tree — Generates a comprehensive folder structure of all documentation filesread_files — Reads specific documentation files with optional line range slicingsearch_github_repositories — Searches for GitHub repositories using the GitHub Search APICursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
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. Rtfmbro's toolset — get_readme, get_documentation_tree, read_files and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by marckrenn; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
