search_assembly_ai
Search across the AssemblyAI knowledge base for relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides; returns contextual content with titles and direct links to documentation pages.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Giving an agent grep over the docs beats giving it a search box.
Search returns what a ranking function thinks you meant. A shell lets the agent ask a precise question — every file mentioning a parameter, the tree under one section, the first twenty lines of a specific guide — and get exactly that. It is the difference between reading a summary and reading the source. That it needs no account at all makes it a reasonable thing to leave connected.
What it is
A documentation server, unauthenticated over streamable HTTP. Its manifest names three tools, and the second is unusual: a read-only shell against a virtual filesystem of the docs.
What you get
- search_assembly_ai — search the knowledge base for guides, API references and code examples
- query_docs_filesystem_assembly_ai — run rg, grep, find, tree, ls, cat, head, tail, jq and friends against the docs, read-only
- submit_feedback — report a page as wrong, outdated, confusing or broken to the docs team
Requirements
None. No key, no sign-in; the manifest states it is read-only and scoped to published site content.
Setup effort
Paste a URL — add the endpoint to your client
USE CASES
01
Getting an API detail right
Search for the reference, then grep the docs filesystem for the exact parameter rather than trusting a summary.
02
Exploring what documentation exists
List the tree to see the shape of the docs before reading anything.
03
Reporting a broken example
Send the problem to the docs team from where you found it.
3 tools
Listed in project docs. Your client may show a different list.
query_docs_filesystem_assembly_ai
Run a read-only shell-like query (rg/grep/find/tree/ls/cat/head/tail/stat/wc/sort/uniq/cut/sed/awk/jq) against a virtualized in-memory filesystem containing only the AssemblyAI documentation pages and OpenAPI specs; stateless per call, output truncated to 30KB.
submit_feedback
Report a problem with the documentation site (incorrect, outdated, confusing, incomplete, broken example) to the docs team; the only non-read-only tool.
