MCP server to parse documentation for the windows crate
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"windows-rs-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

# Windows Crate Docs Search MCP This project provides a Claude Desktop MCP server that allows searching the Rust `windows` crate API documentation hosted at [microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs](https://microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs/). It uses Playwright to interact with the documentation website's search functionality and the features table. ## Features * **Search Windows API:** Use the `search_windows_api` tool to find functions, structs, enums, etc., within the `windows` crate docs. * **Get Documentation:** Retrieve detailed documentation for exact matches, including description, signature, and the required Cargo feature (best effort). * **Find Related Items:** List related API items found during the search. ## Usage This package requires Playwright browsers to be installed. The server attempts to install the default browser (`chromium`) automatically on the first run. You can skip this by setting the `MCP_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT_INSTALL` environment variable. ### Running the MCP Server **Using `uvx`:** The simplest way to run the server after installation is using `uvx`: ```bash uvx windows-rs-mcp ``` **Running Locally with `uv`:** If you have cloned the repository, you can run the server directly using `uv run` from the project directory: ```bash # Navigate to the project root directory # cd /path/to/windows-rs-mcp (Linux/macOS) # cd C:\path\to\your\project\windows-rs-mcp (Windows) # Run the server uv run windows-rs-mcp ``` ### Configuring Claude Desktop To use this MCP with Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop settings: **Option 1: Using `uvx` (Recommended)** ```json { "mcpServers": { "windows-docs": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "windows-rs-mcp" ] } } } ``` **Option 2: Using `uv run` (For local source)** Make sure to replace the placeholder path in `args` with the actual absolute path to your project directory. ```json { "mcpServers": { "windows-docs": { …
