The Docfork server provides up-to-date documentation and code examples for over 9000 code libraries through its get-library-docs tool.
Retrieve Documentation: Fetch comprehensive documentation for any library by specifying the author/library name (e.g., "vercel/next.js", "shadcn-ui/ui")
Focus on Topics: Target specific topics within a library (e.g., "routing", "authentication", "hooks") to get relevant documentation and code examples
Control Output Size: Limit response length by specifying maximum token count to manage context size
Automatic Library Selection: Intelligently finds and selects the most relevant library based on the provided name
AI Integration: Integrates with various AI code editors and clients (Cursor, Claude, VS Code, JetBrains AI Assistant) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The server returns detailed documentation with code examples directly from source, along with an explanation of the library selection process.
Provides alternative installation method using Bun package manager for users experiencing issues with NPX
Offers alternative runtime environment for running the Docfork MCP server when users encounter bundler issues
Supports containerized deployment of the Docfork MCP server with a provided Dockerfile configuration
Provides up-to-date documentation and examples for Next.js development, specifically mentioned in usage examples
Requires Node.js ≥ v18 as runtime environment, with native fetch API support
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Docforkshow me the latest React useState hook documentation"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Docfork MCP - Up-to-date Docs for AI Agents.
Stop hallucinations, context bloat, and outdated APIs.
Professional developers use Docfork to enforce context isolation with project-specific Cabinets. By hard-locking your LLM to a verified stack, you ensure deterministic accuracy and minimal token overhead, eliminating the latency and context bloat of general-purpose indexes.
⚡ The Docfork Difference
Other context MCPs treat docs like a general search engine; Docfork treats it like a deterministic build artifact:
✅ Context Isolation: Use Cabinets to hard-lock your agent to a verified stack (e.g.
Next.js+Better Auth) to stop context poisoning from unwanted libraries.✅ SOTA Index: 10,000+ libraries, pre-chunked and ready. ~200ms global edge-cached retrieval for Markdown docs & code snippets.
✅ Team-First: Standardize your organization's context with API keys & Cabinets so every engineer—and agent—is on the same page.
