Generated Structure

The tool generates a complete StaticMCP server with this structure:

staticmcp-output/
  ├── mcp.json                      # Main manifest file
  ├── resources/                    # Resource files
  │     ├── getting-started.json    # Individual markdown resources
  │     ├── api_reference.json
  │     └── ...
  └── tools/                        # Tool response files
        └── list_docs/
              ├── all.json
              ├── docs.json
              └── blog.json

Available Resources and Tools

Resources

Each markdown file in your Docusaurus project becomes a resource:

• URI Format: docs://path/to/file (without .md extension)
• Content: Full markdown content with frontmatter metadata
• MIME Type: text/markdown

Built-in Tools

1. List Documentation (list_docs)

List available documentation:

{
  "name": "list_docs", 
  "description": "List available documentation",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "string (optional) - docs|blog|all"
  }
}

Configuration Options

Constructor Options

const generator = new StaticMCPGenerator({
  outputDir: './output',           // Output directory
  serverName: 'My Server',         // Server name in manifest
  serverVersion: '1.0.0',          // Server version
  protocolVersion: '2024-11-05',   // MCP protocol version
  baseUri: 'docs'                  // Base URI for resources
});

Examples

Basic Docusaurus Site

# Clone a sample Docusaurus site
git clone https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus.git
cd docusaurus/website

# Generate StaticMCP server
docusaurus-smg . --output ./mcp-server --name "Docusaurus Docs"

Custom Documentation Structure

# For a custom docs folder structure
docusaurus-smg ./my-docs --base-uri "knowledge" --name "Knowledge Base"

Multiple Documentation Types

The generator automatically detects and processes:

• docs/: Main documentation (mapped to docs:// URIs)
• blog/: Blog posts (mapped to blog:// URIs)
• Any other markdown files in the project

Integration with AI Assistants

Once generated, your StaticMCP server can be used with any MCP-compatible AI assistant:

1. Deploy the server to a web server or CDN
2. Configure your AI assistant to connect to the StaticMCP server (through a bridge)
3. Start asking questions about your documentation!

Supported Input Formats

Docusaurus Source Directory

• Detects docusaurus.config.js or docusaurus.config.ts
• Processes docs/, blog/, and src/pages directories
• Extracts frontmatter and content from .md and .mdx files

Standalone Markdown Directory

• Processes any directory containing markdown files
• Recursively scans subdirectories
• Maintains directory structure in resource URIs

Frontmatter Support

The generator extracts and preserves frontmatter:

---
title: Getting Started
description: Learn how to get started with our platform
tags: [tutorial, beginner]
---

# Getting Started

Your content here...

This metadata becomes available in the resource response.

Error Handling

• Missing directories: Gracefully skips missing docs/ or blog/ folders
• Invalid markdown: Continues processing other files if one fails
• Permission issues: Error messages for file system problems
