scoutdocs-mcp

# scoutdocs-mcp MCP server that fetches and **searches** the latest stable documentation for any package. Keeps AI coding agents in sync with current APIs instead of relying on stale training data. Two ways to run it: - **Local stdio** (Python) — installs into Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor, can read your project's manifests. - **Hosted Worker** (Cloudflare) — public HTTPS endpoint at `/mcp`, no install required. ## Why LLMs are trained on a snapshot — the docs they "know" may be months or years old. scoutdocs-mcp gives any MCP client live access to the latest stable version info, READMEs, and search results across docs sites for packages on **PyPI**, **npm**, and **crates.io**. ## How it works <p align="center"> <img src="docs/flowchart.svg" alt="scoutdocs-mcp workflow" width="600"> </p> ## Tools | Tool | Where | What it does | |------|-------|--------------| | `get_package_info` | local + hosted | Latest stable version, docs URL, repo, license | | `get_package_docs` | local + hosted | README / long-description content | | `search_package_docs` | local + hosted | Bounded discovery: docs URL, `llms.txt` / `llms-full.txt`, sitemap, same-host links — ranks pages by query match | | `detect_project_dependencies` | local only | Reads pyproject/requirements/uv.lock, package.json/package-lock, Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock | | `cache_stats` | local only | Local SQLite cache stats | ## Quickstart ### Local (Python stdio) `scoutdocs-mcp` is currently a beta release (`0.2.0b3`), so pip and uv need to be told it's OK to install a pre-release: ```bash pip install --pre scoutdocs-mcp # or uv tool install --prerelease=allow scoutdocs-mcp ``` Add to Claude Code's MCP config (`~/.claude/claude_code_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "scoutdocs": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "scoutdocs-mcp==0.2.0b3", "scoutdocs-mcp"] } } } ``` Once `scoutdocs-mcp` reaches `0.2.0` stable, the `--pre` / version-pin requirement go…
