Marten Docs MCP Server

Local MCP server for focused Marten documentation retrieval.

It caches https://martendb.io/llms-full.txt, builds a local index, and exposes a narrow retrieval surface so agents search first, then progressively narrow to specific sections.

Quick install

macOS / Linux

MCP tools

  • search_docs(query, limit?, offset?)

  • search_within_page(path, query, limit?, offset?)

  • list_headings(path)

  • read_section(id, segmentIndex?, offset?, maxChars?) (returns one local segment plus compact neighbors.before/after refs)

  • read_context(id, before?, after?) (nearby refs only)

  • list_pages(prefix?, limit?) (discovery only when search is insufficient)

  • get_status()

  • refresh_docs(force?)

Recommended retrieval flow

  1. search_docs(...)

  2. Narrow with list_headings(...) and/or search_within_page(...)

  3. Read one chunk with read_section(...)

  4. Use read_context(...) only for nearby references

Broad page dumps are intentionally unsupported.

1. search_docs(query="aggregate projections", limit=3)
2. search_within_page(path="/events/projections/aggregate-projections.md", query="lifecycle", limit=3)
3. read_section(id="<id>", offset=0, maxChars=1200)
4. read_context(id="<id>", before=1, after=1)
5. repeat read_section(..., offset=<nextOffset>) while hasMore=true
