sphinxcontrib-mcp
A FastMCP server that exposes a built Sphinx site's navigation, page context,
metadata, and search tools. It reads the webmcp.json manifest emitted by
sphinxcontrib-webmcp, so the server and browser-side WebMCP integration share
one public schema.
Run
sphinx-mcp --manifest docs/_build/html/webmcp.jsonThe default transport is stdio. Use --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001 for Streamable HTTP.

Tools
sphinx.get_page_context: return page title, URL, source, headings, and children.sphinx.list_navigation: return the Sphinx root and resolved children.sphinx.get_documentation_metadata: return public build, search, and schema metadata.sphinx.search: search native Sphinx references or configured docindex backends.sphinx.navigate: resolve a same-site page without performing browser navigation.
native, docindex, oxirs, and meilisearch search modes remain distinct.
The server only uses public_api_key; administrative Meilisearch keys are not
accepted from the manifest. Search results from OxiRS and Meilisearch are
returned under separate backend entries.
