# Build and watch for changes
npm run watch

# Run the server directly
npm run dev

Testing

Test the server using the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js

Architecture

Document Indexing

The server indexes all markdown files from the SAP AI Core documentation repository on startup:

  1. Parsing: Uses unified and remark to parse markdown with frontmatter

  2. Extraction: Extracts metadata, headings, sections, and keywords

  3. Indexing: Creates a searchable index using Fuse.js for fuzzy semantic search

  4. Categorization: Automatically categorizes documents based on folder structure

Search Strategy

  • Multi-field search: Searches across titles, headings, content, and keywords

  • Weighted scoring: Titles and keywords weighted higher than content

  • Fuzzy matching: Handles typos and partial matches

  • Context extraction: Returns relevant excerpts around matched terms

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    The tools have mostly distinct purposes: get_ai_core_document retrieves a specific page by path, get_ai_core_topic fetches comprehensive topic documentation, list_ai_core_categories lists categories for exploration, and search_ai_core_docs performs semantic searches. However, get_ai_core_document and get_ai_core_topic could be slightly confusing as both retrieve documentation content, though they differ in input specificity (path vs. topic).

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'ai_core' as a prefix: get_ai_core_document, get_ai_core_topic, list_ai_core_categories, and search_ai_core_docs. This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand, with no deviations in naming conventions.

    Tool Count4/5

    Four tools are reasonable for a documentation server, covering key operations like retrieval, listing, and searching. It is slightly thin but well-scoped for the domain, as it includes essential functions without unnecessary bloat. A few more tools (e.g., for metadata or filtering) could enhance it, but it's not a significant gap.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers core documentation workflows: browsing (list_ai_core_categories), retrieving by path or topic (get_ai_core_document, get_ai_core_topic), and searching (search_ai_core_docs). Minor gaps exist, such as no tools for updating documentation or handling user-specific queries, but agents can work around these with the provided tools for most use cases.
