Doccler MCP Server

🚀 Connect your IDE to Doccler - Use AI-powered documentation directly from your development environment.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor, VS Code with AI extensions) to connect to external tools and data sources. Doccler's MCP server enables you to:

• Query your documentation as a single source of truth
• Create documentation directly from your IDE
• Search documentation with semantic search
• Generate documentation from code using AI
• Publish/unpublish documents
• Organize documents into spaces

Quick Start

1. Get Your Doccler API Key

1. Log in to Doccler
2. Go to Settings → API Keys
3. Click Create New API Key
4. Copy the key (it's only shown once!)

2. Configure Your IDE

Choose your IDE and add the configuration:

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doccler": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@doccler/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DOCCLER_API_KEY": "doccler_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doccler": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@doccler/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DOCCLER_API_KEY": "doccler_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Antigravity

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "doccler": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@doccler/mcp-server@latest"],
        "env": {
          "DOCCLER_API_KEY": "doccler_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Your IDE

After adding the configuration, restart your IDE. The Doccler MCP server will be downloaded and started automatically.

Alternative: Global Installation

If you prefer to install globally instead of using npx:

npm install -g @doccler/mcp-server

Then configure your IDE with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doccler": {
      "command": "doccler-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DOCCLER_API_KEY": "doccler_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
      }
    }
  }
}
