DocuMCP

🤖 An MCP server for intelligent code documentation generation with RAG capabilities

DocuMCP enables Claude to generate, search, and manage documentation for your codebase using vector embeddings and semantic search. It provides tools for creating user guides, technical documentation, code explanations, and architectural diagrams.

✨ Features

📚 Generate and update documentation based on your codebase
🔍 Semantic search across code, documentation, and diagrams
📊 Create and merge architectural diagrams
📝 Generate user guides
💾 Support for multiple vector databases (LanceDB, ChromaDB, Qdrant)
🧠 Flexible embedding providers (built-in or Ollama)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation via NPX (Recommended)

The easiest way to use DocuMCP is to configure Claude Desktop with the published npm package:

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docu-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@myjungle/docu-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

That's it! Restart Claude Desktop and DocuMCP will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docuassistant": {
      "command": "node",
      "env": {
        "VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER": "qdrant",
        "QDRANT_URL": "http://localhost:6333",
        "EMBEDDING_PROVIDER": "ollama",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "bge-m3:latest",
        "EMBEDDING_DIMENSION": "1024",
        "OLLAMA_URL": "http://localhost:11434"
      },
