Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Deploy to Cloud Run MIT License

An MCP server that makes the Fonto XML documentation accessible to AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop. Live at fonto-docs.elliat.nl.

The Fonto docs are rendered by a JavaScript SPA, which makes them impossible for AI to read directly. This server fetches the underlying XML and converts it to clean, readable Markdown on demand.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way to give AI assistants access to external tools. Once you connect this server to your AI tool, it gains access to these tools and resources:

| Tool | What it does | |---|---| | search_fonto_docs | Search by keyword — returns matching pages with titles, descriptions, and slugs | | get_fonto_page | Fetch the full content of a page by its slug | | list_pages | List all pages matching a keyword, with full section hierarchy — useful for discovery |

| Resource | What it contains | |---|---| | fonto://catalog | All ~2000 pages with real titles, product grouping, and ancestry paths |

You can then ask things like "How does addDocumentChangeCallback work?" and the AI will look it up in the live Fonto docs.

Connect to your AI tool

The server is already running at https://fonto-docs.elliat.nl/mcp — you just need to point your tool at it.

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http fonto-docs https://fonto-docs.elliat.nl/mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fonto-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://fonto-docs.elliat.nl/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fonto-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://fonto-docs.elliat.nl/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Usage examples

Once connected, ask your AI assistant:

  • "Search the Fonto docs for documentsManager"
  • "Get the Fonto docs page for clearundostackfordocument-f0187fade723"
  • "How does addDocumentChangeCallback work according to the Fonto docs?"
  • "List all pages in the configure section"
  • "What upgrade guides are available?"

HTTP API

The server also exposes a plain HTTP API if you want to use it without MCP:

  • GET /search?q={query} — search pages by keyword
  • GET /page/{slug} — fetch a page as Markdown
  • GET /catalog — full page catalog grouped by section; add ?section={keyword} to filter

How it works

The Fonto documentation site stores its content as XML at predictable URLs under /static/xml/. This server fetches those XML files directly and converts them to Markdown, bypassing the JavaScript rendering. Page content is never cached — every get_fonto_page call goes to documentation.fontoxml.com live. The page catalog (used by list_pages and fonto://catalog) is fetched once from the Fonto search index on first use and held in memory for the lifetime of the process.

Self-hosting

npm install
npm start        # runs on port 8080 by default
PORT=3000 npm start

Contributing

PRs welcome. The XML-to-Markdown conversion in src/fonto.js handles two formats:

  • DITA guide pages — <topic>, <body>, <section> structure
  • API reference pages — custom <type>, <members>, <description> structure

If you find pages that don't convert well, open an issue with the slug.
