Python Docs Server

by AnuragRai017

python-docs-server MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides tools to fetch Python documentation using the Brave Search API.

Features

Tools

  • get_python_docs - Get Python documentation for a given query

    • Takes a search query as a required parameter

    • Uses the Brave Search API to fetch relevant documentation links

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "python-docs-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/python-docs-server/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure but offers minimal information. It mentions 'Get Python documentation' but doesn't specify aspects like data sources, rate limits, authentication needs, or response formats, leaving significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise and front-loaded, consisting of a single, clear sentence that directly states the tool's function without any unnecessary words or structural fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for effective tool use. It fails to address key contextual elements like the source of documentation, result format, or any operational constraints, making it insufficient despite the simple parameter schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'query' fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as query examples or format details, so it meets the baseline for adequate but unenriched parameter information.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('Python documentation'), and specifies the action is for a 'given query'. However, with no sibling tools mentioned, there's no opportunity to distinguish from alternatives, preventing a perfect score.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any contextual prerequisites. It simply restates the basic functionality without indicating scenarios, limitations, or comparisons to other methods.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined as retrieving Python documentation, making it distinct by default.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name 'get_python_docs' follows a clear verb_noun pattern (get + python_docs). Since there is only one tool, consistency is inherently perfect with no deviations to assess.

Tool Count2/5

A single tool is too few for a server named 'Python Docs Server', which suggests a broader scope like searching, browsing, or managing documentation. One tool feels thin and limits functionality, indicating a mismatch with the apparent purpose.

Completeness2/5

The tool set is severely incomplete for a documentation server. It only provides retrieval ('get_python_docs'), lacking essential operations such as search, list topics, get specific versions, or navigate documentation structure, which are typical for such a domain.
