Devdocs MCP

DevDocs-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides version-pinned, deterministic documentation sourced from DevDocs.io to AI assistants (Claude, RooCode, Cline, Copilot etc.). It acts as a local Documentation Intelligence Layer, ensuring your agent always has the correct API context without network latency or training data drift.

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