# AutoDocs Expansion Roadmap
## Executive Summary
This roadmap outlines the strategic expansion of AutoDocs MCP Server from a Python-focused documentation tool to a universal, multi-language documentation intelligence platform. The expansion consists of two parallel tracks: **Documentation Sources** and **Multi-Language Support**.
## Current State (v0.1.3)
β
**Completed**: Python ecosystem with PyPI integration, version-based caching, graceful degradation
π **Status**: Production-ready MVP with comprehensive testing and CI/CD
## Strategic Vision
Transform AutoDocs into the **universal documentation intelligence system** that provides AI assistants with rich, contextual documentation across all major programming languages and documentation sources.
## Expansion Tracks
### Track A: Documentation Sources Expansion
