What it actually does

This project provides a Claude Desktop MCP server that allows searching the Rust windows crate API documentation hosted at microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs.

  • Search Windows API: — Use the search_windows_api tool to find functions, structs, enums, etc., within the windows crate docs
  • Get Documentation: — Retrieve detailed documentation for exact matches, including description, signature, and the required Cargo feature (best effort)
  • Find Related Items: — List related API items found during the search
