suitest-docs-mcp

An MCP server exposing the Suitest documentation as searchable tools for LLM clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc).

It works by crawling suite.st/docs once into local Markdown files, indexing them into a SQLite FTS5 full-text search database, then serving search_docs / get_page tools from that local index over stdio. No live network calls to suite.st happen at runtime.

Note: suite.st/docs/sitemap.xml is broken upstream (every <loc> is the literal string "None"), so the crawler discovers pages by following links from the docs homepage instead.

Setup

npm install
npm run crawl         # crawls suite.st/docs -> data/pages/*.md (takes a few minutes)
npm run build-index   # builds data/docs.db from data/pages/*.md

Re-run both commands whenever you want to refresh the content (there's no automatic re-crawl).

Running the server

npm start

This starts the MCP server on stdio.

A .mcp.json is already checked into this project root, so any Claude Code session (CLI or the VS Code extension — no global claude npm install required) opened against this project will pick it up automatically:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suitest-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "src/server.ts"]
    }
  }
}

If you have the claude CLI installed, you can instead register it globally with:

claude mcp add suitest-docs -- npx tsx /absolute/path/to/docs-mcp/src/server.ts

(Or point at the compiled dist/server.js after running npm run build.)

Tools

• search_docs(query, limit?) — full-text search over the indexed docs, returns ranked results with snippets.

• get_page(url) — fetches the full Markdown content of a page by URL (as returned by search_docs).

Debugging

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx tsx src/server.ts

It's intentionally not a project devDependency (its concurrently → shell-quote transitive dependency currently has an unpatched critical advisory) — npx fetches and discards it on demand instead. If npx hits a stale/corrupted cached install, clear it with npm cache clean --force and retry, or run npm install --no-save @modelcontextprotocol/inspector temporarily.
