Key features

  1. 01List documentation pages
  2. 02Search pages with excerpts
  3. 03Read full pages as Markdown
  4. 04Expose pages as resources
  5. 05Serve the latest published documentation

Use cases

  1. 01Look up picomcp APIs while coding
  2. 02Find guidance for MCP server development
  3. 03Read a documentation page in an agent
  4. 04Inspect docs through MCP resources

MCP support

Exposes tools to list, search, and read documentation, and makes each page available as an MCP resource. MCP clients can run it locally using `npx`.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "picomcp-picomcp-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "picomcp-docs"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y picomcp-docs

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details

From the project README

picomcp-docs

The picomcp documentation as an MCP server. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client, and your coding agent can search and read the picomcp docs while it writes your MCP server.

It is built with picomcp itself, in about 100 lines: read the source.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add picomcp-docs -- npx -y picomcp-docs

Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop and other clients: add it to the MCP config file (.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor, claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "picomcp-docs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "picomcp-docs"] }
  }
}

Needs Node 22 or later.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_docsLists every documentation page, with its URL
search_docsFinds the pages that match a query, with a short excerpt
read_docReturns a full page as Markdown, by title (Tools) or slug (tools)

Every page is also available as a resource, picomcp-docs://{title}.

How it works

The server downloads llms-full.txt from the docs site on the first call and keeps it in memory. It always serves the latest published docs, with no update to install.

Set PICOMCP_DOCS to read from another copy of the site, for example a local build at http://localhost:4321.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
