Docvet MCP Server

Better docstrings, better AI. ruff checks how your docstrings look. interrogate checks if they exist (but is unmaintained). docvet checks if they're right - and now covers presence too. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting documentation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
