Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@uptodoc how do I use the new authentication middleware in FastAPI?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for IDE-integrated AI agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Roocode, Cursor, Windsurf).
uptodoc provides a local server implementing the Model Context Protocol
(MCP).
It allows AI assistants integrated into IDEs like VSCode to query a custom
documentation database, offering more relevant and up-to-date information about
libraries and frameworks.
Once configured in your IDE, the assistant will automatically communicate with uptodoc to enhance coding suggestions.
Typical use cases:
Fetching more recent or project-specific documentation
Improving AI suggestions in coding assistants
Extending Copilot, Roocode, Cursor, or Windsurf with custom knowledge
Related MCP server: nodespace-mcp
Node.js version 22 or higher
VSCode version 1.99.3 or higher (or any compatible MCP client)
Make sure these tools are installed and up to date before using uptodoc.
You don't need to install uptodoc globally.
It is automatically launched by your IDE when configured correctly.
Make sure npx is available on your system (comes with Node.js).
Note: The package must be available on npm under the name
@jlgformation/uptodoc.
To use uptodoc in VSCode, add the following to your settings (e.g.,
.vscode/settings.json) :
{
// rest of the user settings.json config.
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"uptodoc": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@jlgformation/uptodoc", "start"],
"env": {
"UPTODOC_ENDPOINT": "https://<yoursite.org>/<path>"
}
}
}
}
}Put the Github Copilot AI Assistant in agent mode. Then start the MCP server
on vscode.
You should be able to talk to the AI assistant. Do not hesitate to add in your
prompt the magical formula: use uptodoc.
Example:
I want to install the tototructruc library. How to do ? use uptodoc.As you can see above, the endpoint for the documentation can be configured. By default it is:
UPTODOC_ENDPOINT=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jlg-formation/uptodoc/master/docsAnd there are some stupid docs: https://github.com/jlg-formation/uptodoc/tree/master/docs

With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap with other tools. The tool's purpose is clearly distinct by default.
A single tool inherently has consistent naming, as there are no other tools to compare it against. The tool name follows a clear verb-object pattern.
A single tool is too few for most server purposes, as it limits functionality and flexibility. For a documentation-fetching server, additional tools like search, list, or filter might be expected to enhance usability.
The server's domain appears to be fetching documentation for libraries, but with only one tool, it lacks essential operations. There are obvious gaps, such as searching for libraries, listing available documentation, or handling updates, which could lead to agent inefficiencies.
