As an MCP Server
Add to your MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"docs-tools": {
"command": "node",

}
}
}
Tools
generate_jsdoc

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.
