ContextMCP
A self-hosted MCP server that indexes documentation from various sources and serves it to AI Agents with semantic search.
ContextMCP
Self-hosted MCP server for your documentation. Index your documentation from across the sources and serve it via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and REST API.
Quick Start
# Scaffold a new project
npx contextmcp init my-docs-mcp
# Follow the prompts, then:
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
# Configure your documentation sources
# Edit config.yaml
# Index your documentation
npm run reindex
# Edit the cloudflare-worker
# Deploy the MCP server
cd cloudflare-worker
npm install
npm run deploy
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
