More info is available on BoltAI's Documentation site. For BoltAI on iOS, see this guide.

Using Docker

If you prefer to run the MCP server in a Docker container:

Build the Docker Image:First, create a Dockerfile in the project root (or anywhere you prefer):
FROM node:18-alpine WORKDIR /app # Install the latest version globally RUN npm install -g docfork # Expose default port if needed (optional, depends on MCP client interaction) # EXPOSE 3000 # Default command to run the server CMD ["docfork"]
Then, build the image using a tag (e.g., docfork-mcp). Make sure Docker Desktop (or the Docker daemon) is running. Run the following command in the same directory where you saved the Dockerfile:
docker build -t docfork .
Configure Your MCP Client:Update your MCP client's configuration to use the Docker command.Example for a cline_mcp_settings.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "docfork": { "autoApprove": [], "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "docfork-mcp"], "transportType": "stdio" } } }
Note: This is an example configuration. Please refer to the specific examples for your MCP client (like Cursor, VS Code, etc.) earlier in this README to adapt the structure (e.g., mcpServers vs servers). Also, ensure the image name in args matches the tag used during the docker build command.

Install in Windows

The configuration on Windows is slightly different compared to Linux or macOS (Cline is used in the example). The same principle applies to other editors; refer to the configuration of command and args.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github.com/docfork/mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "docfork@latest"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Install in Augment Code

To configure Docfork MCP in Augment Code, follow these steps:

Press Cmd/Ctrl Shift P or go to the hamburger menu in the Augment panel
Select Edit Settings
Under Advanced, click Edit in settings.json
Add the server configuration to the mcpServers array in the augment.advanced object

"augment.advanced": {
    "mcpServers": [
        {
            "name": "docfork",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "docfork"]
        }
    ]
}

Once the MCP server is added, restart your editor. If you receive any errors, check the syntax to make sure closing brackets or commas are not missing.

Install in Roo Code

Add this to your Roo Code MCP configuration file. See Roo Code MCP docs for more info.

Roo Code Remote Server Connection

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.docfork.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Roo Code Local Server Connection

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "docfork"]
    }
  }
}

🔧 Environment Variables

The Docfork MCP server supports the following environment variables:

DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS: Set the minimum token count for documentation retrieval (default: 10000)

Example configuration with environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "docfork@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS": "10000"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔨 Available Tools

Docfork MCP provides the following tool that LLMs can use:

get-library-docs: Searches the library and returns its documentation.
- libraryName (required): The name of the library to search for
- topic (required): Focus the docs on a specific topic (e.g., "routing", "hooks")
- tokens (optional, default 10000, max 50000): Max number of tokens to return. Values less than the configured DEFAULT_MINIMUM_TOKENS value or the default value of 10000 are automatically increased to that value.

Development

Clone the project and install dependencies:

npm i

Build:

npm run build

Local Configuration Example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/folder/docfork/src/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Testing with MCP Inspector

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx docfork

Troubleshooting

Module Not Found Errors

If you encounter ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, try using bunx instead of npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["-y", "docfork"]
    }
  }
}

This often resolves module resolution issues in environments where npx doesn't properly install or resolve packages.

ESM Resolution Issues

For errors like Error: Cannot find module 'uriTemplate.js', try the --experimental-vm-modules flag:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docfork": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--node-options=--experimental-vm-modules", "docfork"]
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting Common MCP Client Errors

Append @latest to the package name to pull the newest release.
Swap npx for bunx if the command stalls or fails.
Prefer Deno as a drop-in alternative when you hit bundler issues.
Verify you're on Node.js v18+ so fetch is available natively.
