### Description (declared)

# papermoon-mkdocs-mcp

A lightweight MCP server for MkDocs documentation sites. Reads markdown files
directly from disk, provides full-text and optional semantic search, and exposes
project structure through the Model Context Protocol.

## Features

- **5 MCP tools** -- search, read_document, list_documents, get_project_info, get_document_outline
- **SQLite FTS5 keyword search** with BM25 ranking (zero external dependencies)
- **Optional semantic vector search** via sentence-transformers
- **Hybrid search** combining keyword + vector results with Reciprocal Rank Fusion
- **Incremental indexing** -- fast updates when files change
- **Persistent SQLite index** that survives server restarts
- **Navigation-aware** -- parses `mkdocs.yml` and `.nav.yml`
- **Excludable documents** -- keep drafts and internal pages off the MCP surface
- **Security-first** -- path traversal prevention, read-only search connections
- **Minimal dependencies** -- 3 required, 2 optional

## Installation

```bash
pip install papermoon-mkdocs-mcp
```

To enable vector search:

```bash
pip install papermoon-mkdocs-mcp[vector]
```

## Quick Start

Run from the root of any MkDocs project (where `mkdocs.yml` lives):

```bash
cd /path/to/your/mkdocs-project
papermoon-mkdocs-mcp
```

Or point to a specific config file:

```bash
papermoon-mkdocs-mcp --config /path/to/mkdocs.yml
```

The server auto-detects `mkdocs.yml` in the current directory when `--config`
is omitted.

### Transport Options

By default the server uses **stdio** transport. You can switch to a network
transport for remote or multi-client setups:

```bash
# Streamable HTTP (recommended for network access)
papermoon-mkdocs-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000

# SSE (legacy client compatibility)
papermoon-mkdocs-mcp --transport sse --port 8080
```
