FastAPI Docs MCP Server

search_fastapi_docs

Read-only

Search FastAPI documentation by keyword to find the best-matching page, with support for common aliases like 'auth' for security topics.

Instructions

Search the docs by keyword and return the best-matching page.

Common aliases are supported (e.g. "auth" finds security pages).

Input Schema

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds that common aliases are supported and returns best-matching page, but no additional behavioral traits like rate limits or return format.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, second sentence adds helpful detail. No redundant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, and the description only says 'return the best-matching page' without detailing the response format. For a search tool, this is adequate but could be more explicit.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with parameter description. The description adds extra semantic value by noting that common aliases are supported, enhancing the parameter's usability.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it searches FastAPI docs by keyword and returns the best-matching page. This is distinct from siblings that get specific pages, list pages, or provide examples.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It only implies that it's for searching, but does not contrast with other tools like get_fastapi_docs for known pages.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
