Exposes API docs as resources through MCP
Provides search tools for finding specific API endpoints
Includes prompt templates for common API documentation tasks
Stores crawled data for offline access

Installation

# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install the package
pip install -e .
