What the server does

  • Smart Document Search — TF-IDF based search with Markdown-aware scoring that prioritizes titles, headers, and code blocks
  • Section-Based Browsing — Browse document structure via table of contents, then fetch only the section you need - more token-efficient than retrieving full pages
  • Curated Content — Indexes documentation from llms.txt files with clean, human-readable titles
  • On-Demand Fetching — Lazy-loads full document content only when needed for optimal performance
  • Snippet Generation — Provides contextual snippets with relevance scoring for quick overview
  • Real URL Support — Works with actual HTTPS URLs while maintaining backward compatibility
