MCP SERVERAnswer a library question against that library's whole documentation set — list what is indexed, search inside one set, read its index, one page, or all of it at once.
LABSCO SUMMARY
The grading is the design. The index orients, search finds a keyword, get_docs_page answers a known topic, and get_docs_full puts the whole set in context — its own description warns that this returns a large volume of text and points you back at the narrower tools. That matters because the two failure modes of documentation retrieval are opposite: pulling too little to answer, or so much that the answer is buried in what came with it.
A documentation-retrieval server holding libraries and frameworks as complete sets, each addressed by the docName that list_docs returns.
Nothing — no account, no key. Every tool except list_docs takes a docName, so list_docs is the required first call.
One command — npx -y @cartographai/atlas-docs-mcp
USE CASES
Find the doc set, search it for the API in question, and read the page that comes back — so the answer comes from the library's own documentation rather than from a plausible-looking recollection of it.
The condensed index shows what the documentation covers before any of it is read, which is the cheap way to find out whether the thing you need is even documented.
When the task spans the library rather than one API, the consolidated file puts all of it in context at once — at the cost of a large volume of text the other tools exist to avoid.
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get_docs_fullRetrieves the complete documentation content in a single consolidated file. Use this when you need comprehensive knowledge or need to analyze the full documentation context. Returns a large volume of text - consider using get_docs_page or search_docs for targeted information.
get_docs_indexRetrieves a condensed, LLM-friendly index of the pages in a documentation set. Use this for initial exploration to understand what's covered and identify relevant pages. Returns a markdown page with a list of available pages. Follow up with get_docs_page to get full content.
get_docs_pageRetrieves a specific documentation page's content using its relative path. Use this to get detailed information about a known topic, after identifying the relevant page through get_docs_index or search_docs. Returns the complete content of a single documentation page.
list_docsLists all available documentation libraries and frameworks. Use this as your first step to discover available documentation sets. Returns name, description and source url for each documentation set. Required before using other documentation tools since you need the docName.
search_docsSearches a documentation set for specific content. Use this to find pages containing particular keywords, concepts, or topics. Returns matching pages ranked by relevance with their paths and descriptions. Follow up with get_docs_page to get full content.
