cd my-docs-mcp
npm install
# Configure your API keys
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your PINECONE_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY

What is ContextMCP?
ContextMCP creates a searchable knowledge base from your documentation that AI assistants can query via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Supported Content Types
| Parser | Content Types | Examples |
|---|---|---|
mdx | MDX/JSX documentation | Mintlify, Fumadocs, Docusaurus |
markdown | Plain Markdown files | READMEs, CHANGELOGs |
openapi | OpenAPI/Swagger specs | API reference docs |
How It Works
- Parse - Extract content from your docs, APIs, and READMEs
- Chunk - Split into semantic chunks optimized for search
- Embed - Generate embeddings using OpenAI
- Store - Upload to Pinecone vector database
- Search - Query via MCP from AI assistants
