Docfork MCP - Up-to-date Docs for AI Agents

Lock your agent's context to your stack.

Define a Docfork Cabinet — Next.js 16 + Drizzle ORM + Better Auth — and every query returns only docs from your stack. No more bloated results. No more hallucinations.

⚡ Built for Precision

Documentation context as precise as your dependency lockfile:

• Cabinets — Lock your agent to a verified stack. Only your libraries. Fully isolated.

• 10,000+ libraries — Pre-chunked docs and code examples. ~200ms edge retrieval.

• Team-ready — Share Cabinets and API keys across your org. Same context, every engineer.

Set a Cabinet: Next.js 16 + Drizzle ORM + Better Auth. Your agent only sees docs for your stack. No stray Express docs. No Prisma confusion.

7. Add Header: Key: Authorization, Value: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
8. Click Save.

Manual Configuration

Create .kilocode/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {

Emdash is an orchestration layer for running multiple coding agents in parallel.

What Emdash provides: Global toggle: Settings → MCP → "Enable Docfork MCP". Per-workspace enable: The Docfork button in the ProviderBar.

What you still need to do: Configure your coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to connect to Docfork MCP. Emdash does not modify your agent's config.

See the Emdash repository for more information.

Docfork supports MCP OAuth specs. Change your endpoint to use OAuth:

- "url": "https://mcp.docfork.com/mcp"
+ "url": "https://mcp.docfork.com/mcp/oauth"

Note: OAuth is for remote HTTP connections only. View OAuth Guide →

3. Just say use docfork

Add use docfork to any prompt:

Implement a secure authentication flow using Better Auth and Supabase. use docfork

4. Make it automatic

Add a rule so Docfork stays active — skip the prompt suffix.

[!NOTE] Add Rule to Cursor (One-Click)

Copy rule:

When writing or debugging code that involves third-party libraries, frameworks, or APIs, use Docfork MCP `search_docs` and `fetch_doc` tools rather than relying on training data.

**Two defaults to follow every time:**

- Start `library` with a short name or keyword (e.g., `nextjs`, `zod`). Use the `owner/repo` from the result URL for follow-up calls, never guess it upfront.
- After finding a relevant result, call `fetch_doc` to get the full content. Search results are summaries only.

Skip Docfork when:

- Language built-ins, general algorithms, syntax stable across versions
- Code or docs the user has already provided in context

When uncertain, default to using Docfork.

Now your AI fetches the latest docs automatically:

Add a Prisma schema for a multi-tenant SaaS and generate the client.

🔨 Tools

search_docs

Search documentation with context isolation. Set a Cabinet to restrict results to your approved stack.
