🎯 How It Works

User: "I'm having issues with Razorpay routes"
      Documentation: https://razorpay.com/docs

Amazon Q (Claude 4.5):
  1. Reads main docs page
  2. Sees links: ["Payments", "Routes", "Webhooks", ...]
  3. Intelligently decides: "Routes link is relevant!"
  4. Navigates to Routes documentation
  5. Extracts content and solves your problem

All navigation decisions = Amazon Q's Claude brain 🧠
MCP Server = Clean content extraction tool 🛠️

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher

• uv (recommended) or pip

• Amazon Q CLI

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/amazon-q-web_search.git
cd amazon-q-web_search

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Using uv (Recommended):

uv sync

Using pip:

pip install -e .

🔧 Setup with Amazon Q

Step 1: Locate Your MCP Configuration File

Amazon Q looks for MCP server configuration in:

• Linux/WSL: ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json

• macOS: ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.aws\amazonq\mcp.json

Step 2: Create/Edit the Configuration File

Create the directory if it doesn't exist:

mkdir -p ~/.aws/amazonq

Edit or create ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json:

For Linux/WSL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doc_reader": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/amazon-q-web_search/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/amazon-q-web_search/main.py"]
    }
  }
}

For macOS:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doc_reader": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/amazon-q-web_search/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/amazon-q-web_search/main.py"]
    }
  }
}

For Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doc_reader": {
      "command": "C:\\full\\path\\to\\amazon-q-web_search\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
      "args": ["C:\\full\\path\\to\\amazon-q-web_search\\main.py"]
    }
  }
}

💡 Tip: Replace /full/path/to/ with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

Step 3: Verify Installation

1. Start Amazon Q CLI:

   q chat

2. Check if MCP server is loaded:

   /mcp

   You should see:

   doc_reader
     - read_web_documentation
     - get_documentation_links
     - get_page_structure
     - extract_code_examples
     - read_multiple_docs

3. If not loaded:

   • Check the file path in mcp.json is correct

   • Restart Amazon Q CLI

   • Check logs: q chat logdump

🚀 Usage

Basic Example

In Amazon Q CLI, simply ask about documentation:

I'm having issues with Razorpay routes. Can you help me understand how they work?
Documentation: https://razorpay.com/docs/

Amazon Q will:

1. ✅ Read the main documentation page

2. ✅ Extract all available links

3. ✅ Intelligently identify the "Routes" link

4. ✅ Navigate to the Routes documentation

5. ✅ Provide you with accurate information

🐛 Troubleshooting

MCP Server Not Loading

Check configuration:

cat ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json

Verify paths are correct:

• Use absolute paths, not relative

• Check that Python executable exists

• Check that main.py exists

Test server manually:

cd /path/to/amazon-q-web_search
.venv/bin/python main.py

Check Amazon Q logs:

q chat logdump

Server Starts But Tools Don't Work

Verify dependencies are installed:

cd /path/to/amazon-q-web_search
.venv/bin/python -c "import httpx, bs4, markdownify; print('OK')"

Reinstall dependencies:

uv sync --reinstall

Connection Timeout

Increase timeout in settings:

q settings mcp.initTimeout 60000
