That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

@meetdewey/mcp
MCP server for Dewey — search and research your document collections from Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. See the full API reference for details.
Installation
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (or equivalent MCP client config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dewey": {
"command": "/bin/sh",
"args": ["-lc", "npx -y @meetdewey/mcp"],
"env": {
"DEWEY_API_KEY": "dwy_live_...",
"DEWEY_COLLECTION_ID": "..."
}
}
}
}Note for Windows users: replace
"command": "/bin/sh"and"args": ["-lc", "npx -y @meetdewey/mcp"]with"command": "npx"and"args": ["-y", "@meetdewey/mcp"]— the login-shell wrapper is only needed on macOS/Linux to pick up Homebrew and nvm PATH entries that Claude Desktop doesn't inherit.

Available tools
Tool | Description |
| List all collections in the project, including description and research instructions when set |
| Hybrid semantic + keyword search over chunk content |
| Lightweight search over section titles and summaries |
| Agentic research query with configurable depth — returns a grounded, cited answer |
| List documents in a collection with their processing status |
| Fetch the full Markdown content of a section by ID |
Research instructions
Collections can have natural-language instructions that are automatically injected into the research system prompt — for example, noting units, preferred sources, or how to handle missing information. These are set per-collection in the Dewey dashboard or via the API and apply transparently whenever dewey_research is called against that collection. No configuration is needed in the MCP server itself.
Tool usage pattern
A typical agentic workflow uses the tools in this order:
dewey_list_collections— discover available collections and understand their purposedewey_scan_sections— quickly explore document structure to identify relevant sectionsdewey_get_section— load full content of a specific sectiondewey_search— retrieve the most relevant chunks for a focused questiondewey_research— run a full agentic research query for questions that need multi-step reasoning
