Unleash the Power of Documentation with DocMCP: Your Local AI-Powered Knowledge Base

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, staying abreast of the latest documentation is crucial for developers and technical professionals. However, sifting through vast amounts of information can be time-consuming and inefficient. DocMCP emerges as a powerful solution, enabling you to create a local, AI-driven knowledge base from your technical documentation, seamlessly integrated with your favorite AI Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like Cursor.

DocMCP, or Documentation Model Context Protocol server, leverages the power of PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension to index and query your documentation with unparalleled speed and accuracy. It’s a system designed for crawling, processing, and querying documentation, enhanced with AI-powered embedding generation and semantic search capabilities. This means you can ask natural language questions and receive relevant answers extracted directly from your documentation, boosting your productivity and reducing the time spent searching for information.

Why DocMCP? The Challenges of Modern Documentation Access

Consider the typical workflow of a developer encountering a new library or framework:

• Information Overload: The sheer volume of documentation can be overwhelming.
• Scattered Resources: Documentation is often spread across multiple websites, repositories, and formats.
• Inefficient Search: Traditional keyword-based search often fails to surface the most relevant information.
• Context Switching: Constantly switching between the IDE and documentation can disrupt the development flow.
• Lack of AI Integration: Traditional documentation tools rarely integrate with AI-powered development assistants.

DocMCP addresses these challenges head-on, providing a centralized, intelligent, and integrated approach to documentation access.

Key Features of DocMCP: AI-Powered Documentation at Your Fingertips

DocMCP is packed with features designed to revolutionize how you interact with technical documentation:

• Documentation Crawling: Automate the process of collecting documentation from various sources. DocMCP’s crawler can navigate websites, respecting robots.txt rules and following links up to a specified depth. This ensures comprehensive coverage of your desired documentation.
• Content Processing: Convert messy HTML into clean, structured Markdown. DocMCP automatically extracts relevant content, cleans up formatting, and converts it into a consistent Markdown format. It also extracts crucial metadata like package names, versions, and document types, enabling precise filtering and organization.
• Vector Embeddings: Generate semantic embeddings using AWS Bedrock. DocMCP leverages the power of AWS Bedrock to create vector embeddings of your documentation content. These embeddings capture the semantic meaning of the text, allowing for accurate and relevant search results based on the meaning of your query, not just keyword matches.
• Semantic Search: Find the exact information you need with intelligent semantic search. DocMCP’s semantic search capabilities enable you to ask questions in natural language and receive accurate answers extracted directly from your documentation. It understands the context of your query and retrieves the most relevant information, even if the exact keywords are not present.
• MCP Integration: Seamlessly integrate with MCP-compatible AI IDEs like Cursor. DocMCP provides built-in MCP tools, enabling seamless integration with AI agents and IDEs. This allows you to query your documentation directly from your development environment, receiving instant answers and suggestions without disrupting your workflow.
• Job Management: Track the progress of your documentation indexing tasks. DocMCP’s job management system provides detailed progress reporting for all documentation processing tasks. You can monitor the status of each job, track errors, and ensure that your documentation is being indexed correctly.
• Local Vector Database: Store and query embeddings locally for maximum speed and privacy. By using PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension, DocMCP allows you to store and query your documentation embeddings locally. This provides maximum speed and privacy, as your data never leaves your local environment.

Use Cases: Transforming the Way You Work with Documentation

DocMCP offers a wide range of use cases for developers, technical writers, and anyone who works with technical documentation:

• Rapid Problem Solving: Quickly find solutions to technical problems by querying your documentation with natural language.
• Efficient Code Understanding: Gain a deeper understanding of code libraries and frameworks by exploring their documentation with AI-powered search.
• Accelerated Onboarding: Reduce the time it takes for new team members to become productive by providing them with an AI-powered knowledge base.
• Improved Documentation Quality: Identify gaps and inconsistencies in your documentation by using DocMCP to analyze its content.
• Enhanced AI Agent Capabilities: Provide your AI agents with access to a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge base of technical information.

Getting Started: A Quick and Easy Setup

Setting up DocMCP is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the DocMCP repository from GitHub.
2. Configure Environment: Configure the environment variables, including the database URL and AWS Bedrock credentials.
3. Start the Development Environment: Use the provided dev-start.sh script to start the PostgreSQL database and install the necessary dependencies.
4. Add Documentation: Use the add-docs script to crawl and process documentation from your desired URLs.
5. Query Documentation: Start querying your documentation using the MCP tools or integrate DocMCP with your Cursor IDE.

DocMCP and UBOS: A Synergistic Partnership

DocMCP perfectly complements the UBOS platform, a full-stack AI Agent development platform designed to bring AI agents to every business department. UBOS empowers you to orchestrate AI agents, connect them with your enterprise data, and build custom AI agents using your preferred LLM models and multi-agent systems.

By integrating DocMCP with UBOS, you can provide your AI agents with access to a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge base of technical information. This enables your agents to:

• Answer complex technical questions accurately and efficiently.
• Automate technical tasks that require access to documentation.
• Provide intelligent assistance to developers and technical professionals.
• Learn and adapt to new technologies more quickly.

Imagine an AI agent that can automatically diagnose and fix code errors by consulting relevant documentation. Or an agent that can generate technical documentation based on code comments and specifications. With DocMCP and UBOS, these scenarios become a reality.

Production Deployment: Scalability and Reliability

While the development setup provides a convenient way to get started, DocMCP also supports production deployments using Docker. This allows you to scale your documentation indexing and querying infrastructure to meet the demands of your organization. The production Docker setup provides a fully containerized environment, ensuring consistency and reliability across different environments.
