What is it?

MCP Documentation Service is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for documentation management. It provides a set of tools for reading, writing, and managing markdown documentation with frontmatter metadata. The service is designed to work seamlessly with AI assistants like Claude in Cursor or Claude Desktop, making it easy to manage your documentation through natural language interactions.

Features

Read and Write Documents: Easily read and write markdown documents with frontmatter metadata
Edit Documents: Make precise line-based edits to documents with diff previews
List and Search: Find documents by content or metadata
Navigation Generation: Create navigation structures from your documentation
Health Checks: Analyze documentation quality and identify issues like missing metadata or broken links
LLM-Optimized Documentation: Generate consolidated single-document output optimized for large language models
MCP Integration: Seamless integration with the Model Context Protocol
Frontmatter Support: Full support for YAML frontmatter in markdown documents
Markdown Compatibility: Works with standard markdown files

Quick Start

Installation

Requires Node to be installed on your machine.

npm install -g mcp-docs-service

Or use directly with npx:

npx mcp-docs-service /path/to/docs

Cursor Integration

To use with Cursor, create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root:

{
"mcpServers": {
"docs-manager": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-docs-service", "/path/to/your/docs"]
}
}
}

MEDIUMInventory / provenance · inv.binary · CWE-1104

.DS_Store

Why it matters. a compiled or binary member cannot be reviewed from source

Fix. ship source, or explain the binary in the README

write_document

Why it matters. 1 tool(s) can delete or overwrite

Fix. prefer a read-only mode or scoped tokens; the page states the blast radius
