Documentation Search MCP Server

This Model Context Protocol server delivers documentation search, vulnerability auditing, and project bootstrapping in one place. It runs as a long-lived process that serves requests from MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop or Cursor.

Core Capabilities

• Aggregate semantic search across 100+ documentation sources.
• Scan local Python projects for dependency vulnerabilities.
• Generate starter scaffolds (FastAPI, React) and developer environment files.
• Provide learning paths, curated code examples, and library comparisons on demand.

Quick Start

# Requires Python 3.12+
uvx documentation-search-enhanced@latest

Configure your assistant to launch the server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "documentation-search-enhanced": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["documentation-search-enhanced@latest"],
      "env": { "SERPER_API_KEY": "your_serper_api_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

The process stays running and listens for JSON-RPC calls; stop it with Ctrl+C when finished.

Development Workflow

git clone https://github.com/antonmishel/documentation-search-mcp.git
cd documentation-search-mcp
uv sync --all-extras --all-groups  # include dev tools
echo "SERPER_API_KEY=your_key_here" > .env
uv run python src/documentation_search_enhanced/main.py

• Run core tests: uv run pytest --ignore=pytest-test-project.
• Run example FastAPI tests: cd pytest-test-project && uv run --all-extras python -m pytest -q.
• Lint: uv run ruff check src. Format: uv run black src (use --check to verify).
• Build distributions via uv build; publish_to_pypi.sh wraps the release flow.

Configuration

Ask your assistant for the current configuration via the get_current_config tool, save it as config.json, then adjust sources or caching preferences. Validate changes locally with uv run python src/documentation_search_enhanced/config_validator.py. Keep secrets in .env rather than committing them.

Tools at a Glance

Key MCP tools include get_docs, semantic_search, get_learning_path, get_code_examples, scan_project_dependencies, generate_project_starter, manage_dev_environment, get_security_summary, and compare_library_security.
