What is the WhatsUpDoc (Downmarked) MCP server?

Scrape any developer documentation and save it locally as a markdown file using anthropic's MCP to standardize communication between the cli and the documentation server. That is what the whatsupdoc (downmarked) mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

A command-line tool for fetching and storing developer documentation locally using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

  • Fetch documentation from any website and convert it to Markdown
  • Save documentation to any location on your system
  • Target specific content using CSS selectors
  • Recursively fetch linked documentation pages
  • Split documentation by headers into separate files
  • Uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized communication

The tools it exposes

  • Options — The Options tool exposed by this server

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npx on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

How it compares

Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. WhatsUpDoc (Downmarked)'s toolset — Options — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by paradiselabs-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
