### Description (declared)

# Point MCP Server

MCP server for the [Point Knowledge API](https://pinchpoint.dev/point) — verified, citable knowledge for AI coding assistants.

Point indexes curated technical documentation (RFCs, framework docs, standards, API references) and makes it searchable with hybrid search (BM25 + vector) and precise citations. This MCP server gives your AI assistant direct access to that knowledge.

## Tools

| Tool | Description | Tokens |
|------|-------------|--------|
| `search` | Hybrid search with citations and relevance scores | ~200/result |
| `get_document_toc` | Lightweight table of contents for a document | ~50 |
| `get_sections` | Load specific sections by chunk ID (max 50) | varies |
| `list_collections` | Browse or search available knowledge collections | ~100/collection |
| `get_document_full` | Full markdown content of a document | varies (can be large) |

**Recommended workflow:** `search` or `list_collections` to find content, then `get_document_toc` for structure, then `get_sections` for specific passages. Use `get_document_full` only when you need the complete text.

## Prerequisites

1. **Python 3.11+** installed
2. **Point API key** — get one free at [pinchpoint.dev/point/keys](https://pinchpoint.dev/point/keys)

      "env": {
        "POINT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or add via CLI:

```bash
claude mcp add point -- point-mcp -e POINT_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```
