Documentation MCP Server

An MCP server that provides AI assistants with searchable access to any documentation you configure. Simply provide the URLs you want scraped, and your AI assistant can search, browse, and retrieve documentation content.

What It Does

This Actor scrapes documentation websites and makes them available to AI assistants (like Claude) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your AI can then:

  • Search through all your documentation

  • Get full content of specific pages

  • Find code examples

  • Look up API references

Available Tools

Tool

Description

list_available_docs

List all documentation pages

search_docs

Search documentation with ranked results

get_docs_by_id

Get full content of a specific page

get_api_reference

Look up API reference for functions/classes

get_code_example

Find code examples for features

How to Use

1. Configure Your Documentation Sources

When running the Actor, provide:

Input

Description

Default

Start URLs

Documentation pages to scrape

Apify SDK docs

Max Pages

Maximum pages to scrape (1-1000)

100

Example input:

{ "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://docs.example.com/getting-started" }, { "url": "https://docs.example.com/api-reference" } ], "maxPages": 200 }

The Actor will automatically crawl all pages under those URLs.

2. Run the Actor

Run the Actor with your configured documentation URLs. Once it finishes scraping, check the Output tab for:

  • MCP Server URL - Your unique endpoint

  • Claude CLI Command - Ready-to-copy command to add the MCP server

3. Connect to Claude Code

Copy the command from the Output tab, which looks like:

claude mcp add api-docs https://<YOUR_CONTAINER_URL>/mcp --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"

Replace <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN> with your API token from: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations

4. Use It

Once connected, your AI assistant can search and retrieve documentation. Try asking things like:

  • "What documentation pages are available?"

  • "Search the docs for authentication"

  • "Show me code examples for the crawler"

Example Configurations

Next.js Documentation

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://nextjs.org/docs" }], "maxPages": 200 }

Multiple Documentation Sites

{ "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://docs.python.org/3/" }, { "url": "https://numpy.org/doc/" } ], "maxPages": 500 }

Refreshing Documentation

To update the cached documentation, send a POST request to /refresh-docs on the Actor's URL.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You're charged for each tool call made by your AI assistant.
