An MCP server that enables searching for Rust crates and their documentation from docs.rs.
English | [日本語](./README_JA.md)
## Overview
docs.rs MCP is an MCP server that searches the Rust crate documentation site [docs.rs](https://docs.rs). By using this, AI Agents can search for required crates and obtain the latest documentation as needed.

## Features
* Tools specialized for searching docs.rs
* Supports multiple use cases, from searching for crates themselves to searching for specific APIs
* LLM-friendly Markdown output
## Requirements
* Node.js 18 or newer
* VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client
## Setup
### Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
Add the following to `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"servers": {
"docs-rs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@nuskey8/docs-rs-mcp@latest",
"-y"
]
}
}
}
```
### Claude Code
Run the following command:
```text
claude mcp add docs-rs -s project -- npx -y @nuskey8/docs-rs-mcp@latest
```
### Cursor
You can install by pressing the button below:
