EasyPeasyMCP

A lightweight, zero-config MCP server for documentation projects.

Give it an llms-full.txt file (local path or URL) and optional OpenAPI/AsyncAPI directories. It also hellps you to build one if you do not have it. It registers only the MCP tools that make sense for what you've provided — no code changes, no hard-coded paths.

Why it's different

• No RAG, no vector database, no embedding pipeline. Search is a case-insensitive line scan with configurable context — all in-process, in memory. For small projects with well-structured content like llms-full.txt, this is all you need to get started — no infrastructure, no ops burden, easy to pitch internally. The entire search capability is ~25 lines of vanilla JS with zero runtime dependencies.

• Any project with an llms-full.txt is MCP-enabled in 30 seconds. Point llmsTxt at a hosted URL and you're done — no local file sync, no pipeline. Docs update, the AI gets fresh content automatically. It's the adoption curve that matters: the llms.txt standard is becoming the norm for docs sites, and this tool makes every one of them instantly AI-accessible.

  Don't have an llms-full.txt yet? No problem — as long as you have Markdown files, the bundled easy-peasy-build CLI will generate one for you from your docs and specs.

• Conditional tool registration keeps the AI's context clean. No OpenAPI directory? No list_openapi_specs tool. Tools only appear when the content exists — the MCP surface matches exactly what you've provided.

When to use this — and when not to

This is a speed-first tool. Use it when you need an agent to access new knowledge in minutes, not days — a quick proof of concept, a personal workflow, a demo, or an early internal pilot where getting something working fast matters more than getting it perfect.

For professional, long-term setups shared across teams, you will eventually want a proper chunk → embed → RAG pipeline instead. That gives you semantic search (the agent finds meaning, not just matching words), much lower token consumption per query, and the ability to scale across large or frequently updated knowledge bases without loading everything into memory. This tool loads the full content on every startup — that's fine for a few hundred KB, but it's a ceiling, not a foundation.

No docs at all? Not even Markdown files? If you're in a real hurry, just ask the agent to scrape the developer portal you depend on — it can crawl the relevant pages and pull the content together. It can even check common locations for OpenAPI or AsyncAPI specs and fetch those too. Combine that with easy-peasy-build and you have a working MCP server in minutes, with zero local files to maintain.

The honest summary: use this to validate that AI-assisted documentation is worth investing in. Once it is, graduate to a proper RAG stack.

How it works

search_documentation covers all loaded content (llms-full.txt + all specs).

Quick start

Drop an .easypeasymcp.json (or .easypeasymcp.yaml) in your docs project root:

JSON:

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "llmsTxt": "./llms-full.txt",
  "openapi": "./openapi",
  "asyncapi": "./asyncapi",
  "build": {
    "docs": ["./guides", "./api-reference"]
  }
}

YAML:

name: my-project
llmsTxt: ./llms-full.txt
openapi: ./openapi
asyncapi: ./asyncapi
build:
  docs:
    - ./guides
    - ./api-reference

Paths are relative to the config file. Omit any key you don't have. llmsTxt can also be a URL. The build section is optional — include it if you want the server to regenerate llms-full.txt on every startup (add --rebuild to the command below).

Registration requires absolute path to config file (paths inside the config are relative to it):

# Use absolute path
claude mcp add my-project npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 \
  -- --rebuild --config /absolute/path/to/.easypeasymcp.json

# Or convert relative to absolute with shell expansion
claude mcp add my-project npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 \
  -- --rebuild --config $(pwd)/.easypeasymcp.json

No config file needed — pass everything directly. Works with URLs too:

claude mcp add asyncapi npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 -- \
  --name "asyncapi" \
  --llms https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derberg/EasyPeasyMCP/refs/heads/main/example-llms/asyncapi.txt

Generating llms-full.txt

gitingest.com generates a single combined text file from any public repo or website. Good for a one-off grab when you don't need the file to stay in sync with updates.

For local Markdown files + OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specs:

npx --package=easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 easy-peasy-build \
  --docs ./guides \
  --docs ./api-reference \
  --openapi ./openapi \
  --asyncapi ./asyncapi \
  --output ./llms-full.txt

• --docs is repeatable for multiple source directories

• Reads .md and .mdx files recursively, sorted by name

• OpenAPI/AsyncAPI files are included as code-fenced blocks

• Omit --output to print to stdout

To keep llms-full.txt fresh automatically, add a build section to .easypeasymcp.json and pass --rebuild when registering the MCP server — it will regenerate on every startup instead of needing a manual run.

Configuration reference

easy-peasy-mcp (MCP server)

Config file paths are resolved relative to the config file's location. At least one of --llms, --openapi, or --asyncapi is required.

build config section

Optional. When present, add --rebuild to the claude mcp add command and the server will regenerate llms-full.txt on every startup.

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "llmsTxt": "./llms-full.txt",
  "openapi": "./openapi",
  "build": {
    "docs": ["./guides", "./api-reference"],
    "title": "My Project"
  }
}

openapi and asyncapi from the top level are reused automatically. llmsTxt is the output path.

Local debugging

Use the MCP Inspector to interactively test the server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.21.1 \
  npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 -- \
  --config /path/to/.easypeasymcp.json

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.21.1 \
  npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 -- \
  --llms /path/to/llms-full.txt \
  --openapi /path/to/openapi

To try it right now without any local files:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.21.1 \
  npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 -- \
  --llms https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derberg/EasyPeasyMCP/refs/heads/main/example-llms/asyncapi.txt

Tip: Add --debug to see detailed logging about content loading and search operations:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.21.1 \
  npx easy-peasy-mcp@0.0.11 -- \
  --config /path/to/.easypeasymcp.json \
  --debug

Debug logs appear in the Server Notifications view in the MCP Inspector UI.
