Docmost MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Docmost, enabling AI agents to search, create, modify, and organize documentation pages and spaces.

Features

Core Management

• create_page: Smart creation tool. Creates content (via import) AND handles hierarchy (nesting under a parent) in one go.

• update_page: Update a page's content and/or title. Updates are performed via real-time collaboration (WebSocket).

• delete_page / delete_pages: Delete single or multiple pages at once.

• move_page: Organize pages hierarchically by moving them to a new parent or root.

Exploration & Retrieval

• search: Full-text search across spaces with optional space filtering (query, spaceId).

• get_workspace: Get information about the current Docmost workspace.

• list_spaces: View all spaces within the current workspace.

• list_groups: View all groups within the current workspace.

• list_pages: List pages within a space (ordered by updatedAt descending).

• get_page: Retrieve full content and metadata of a specific page.

Technical Details

• Automatic Markdown Conversion: Page content is automatically converted from Docmost's internal ProseMirror/TipTap JSON format to clean Markdown for easy agent consumption. Supports all Docmost extensions including callouts, task lists, math blocks, embeds, and more.

• Smart Import API: Uses Docmost's import API to ensure clean Markdown-to-ProseMirror conversion when creating pages.

• Child Preservation: The update_page tool creates a new page ID but effectively simulates an in-place update by reparenting existing child pages to the new version.

• Pagination Support: Automatically handles pagination for large datasets (spaces, pages, groups).

• Filtered Responses: API responses are filtered to include only relevant information, optimizing data transfer for agents.
