DocForge MCP

Your codebase documents itself.

DocForge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that analyses your project and generates documentation automatically — README files, API docs, changelogs, and more. Connect it to any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue) and your documentation writes itself.

Quick Start

npx docforge-mcp

Claude Desktop config

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["docforge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — all 13 tools (7 free + 6 pro) are now available.
