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.
