### Description (declared)

# 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**.

## 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…
