CSDK Docs MCP Server

An MCP server that provides both structured browsing and TF-IDF search over the Sisense Compose SDK documentation. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client.

What it does

Tools

Resources

The server also exposes structured resources that MCP clients can browse directly:

Two ways to access docs

1. Search (search_csdk_docs) — when you have a question and need the most relevant chunks. Uses TF-IDF scoring across 1,700+ pre-indexed chunks.

2. Browse (browse_csdk_docs or resources) — when you know which category or file you need. Returns the full structured document, organized by the monorepo's own folder structure.

The search_csdk_docs tool also supports:

• Framework filter — restrict results to React, Vue, or Angular docs

• Code context (optional) — pass a code snippet and it extracts SDK imports, components, hooks, and factories to boost relevant results

Install

git clone https://github.com/pmorris24/csdk-docs-mcp.git
cd csdk-docs-mcp
npm install && npm run build

Connect to Claude Code

The repo includes .mcp.json — just open Claude Code in the repo directory and the server connects automatically.

Or add to any project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "csdk-docs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/csdk-docs-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "csdk-docs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/csdk-docs-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once connected, Claude will automatically use the tools when it needs SDK information. Just ask naturally:

"How do I query data with useExecuteQuery and display it in a ColumnChart?"
"What are the props for ChartWidget?"
"How do I embed a Fusion dashboard using DashboardById?"
"How do I customize chart colors with styleOptions?"
"How do I use onBeforeRender to modify Highcharts options directly?"
"How do I build a custom dashboard layout with useComposedDashboard?"

Complements the Sisense MCP Server

This works alongside the official sisense-mcp-server:

Use both together: Sisense MCP tells Claude what data you have, this server tells Claude how to build the UI with the Compose SDK.

Tag handling

The server respects Sisense SDK documentation tags:

Updating docs

Docs are pulled directly from the official Sisense Compose SDK monorepo (docs-md/sdk/). When Sisense releases a new SDK version:

./scripts/update-docs.sh
npm run build

To pull from a specific branch:

./scripts/update-docs.sh --branch dev

Validation

Run the validation script after updating docs to verify completeness:

./scripts/validate-docs.sh

This checks:

• chunks.json exists and has expected chunk count

• All framework categories have doc files and INDEX.md

• Key files are present and non-empty

• No @internal/@sisenseInternal content leaked into public docs

• Framework parity (React, Vue, Angular have equal file counts)

• Build output is up to date

Supported frameworks

• React

• Vue

• Angular
