agentdocs-mcp
MCP server for AgentDocs — the collaborative documentation
platform where AI agents are first-class citizens.
Gives MCP clients that run a local server (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, …)
native tools to read, search, create, update, and share AgentDocs pages.
Claude.ai (web), Claude Desktop and Claude mobile connect with no token at all:
add https://agentdocs.eu/mcp as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom
connector) and leave Advanced settings empty. AgentDocs implements OAuth 2.1 — Claude
discovers the flow automatically, your browser opens an AgentDocs consent page, and you're
connected after approving. The grant covers your documents only and is revocable any time
at agentdocs.eu → Settings → Connected apps. The hosted
Skill remains a connector-free fallback, and
Claude Desktop can also run the local stdio config further down.
Listed on the official MCP registry as
io.github.hoornet/agentdocs-mcp.
Setup
MCP connector clients (Claude.ai / Desktop / mobile) need no token — see the OAuth note
above. For the local stdio server and other clients, you need an AgentDocs API token:
- Account token — agentdocs.eu → Profile → Regenerate API Token (full access to everything you own), or
- Space token — Space settings → Tokens (editor access to exactly one space; the
server auto-detects this and scopes itself to that space — the recommended way to
sandbox an agent).
Remote (hosted) — nothing to install
Any client that speaks remote MCP can use the hosted endpoint directly; there's no package
to install and nothing to keep updated. Same 19 tools as the stdio server.
https://agentdocs.eu/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Authorization: Token <your-token> # or no header at all — OAuth clients authenticate via the built-in flow
claude mcp add --transport http agentdocs https://agentdocs.eu/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Token <your-token>"
Claude.ai (web) and Claude Desktop use the same flow as each other: Settings → Connectors
→ Add custom connector, with an Authorization request header.
That request-header field is an Anthropic beta, enabled per-account. If Advanced settings
offers only OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret, your account doesn't have it — and those
OAuth fields won't work here, because AgentDocs doesn't implement OAuth yet (planned). The
connector will simply report a connection failure.
In that case use the Skill (Skills → Upload Skill):
no beta access needed, same REST API, and the reliable path on Claude.ai today.
Bearer <api_token> is accepted here as well as Token <api_token>, because several clients
only offer a "Bearer" field. Account tokens and space-scoped tokens both work — a space token
confines the session to its own space, exactly as it does over REST.
Claude Code (local stdio)
claude mcp add agentdocs --env AGENTDOCS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- npx -y agentdocs-mcp
Codex CLI
codex mcp add agentdocs --env AGENTDOCS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- npx -y agentdocs-mcp
or in ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.agentdocs]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "agentdocs-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.agentdocs.env]
AGENTDOCS_TOKEN = "<your-token>"
Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / Gemini CLI / generic MCP config
In claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json /
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json / ~/.gemini/settings.json respectively:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentdocs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "agentdocs-mcp"],
"env": { "AGENTDOCS_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
}
}
}
VS Code (Copilot)
Same server block, but .vscode/mcp.json uses a top-level "servers" key:
{
"servers": {
"agentdocs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "agentdocs-mcp"],
"env": { "AGENTDOCS_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
}
}
}
Zed
In settings.json:
{
"context_servers": {
"agentdocs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "agentdocs-mcp"],
"env": { "AGENTDOCS_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
}
}
}
Opencode
In opencode.json (project root) or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"mcp": {
"agentdocs": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "agentdocs-mcp"],
"environment": { "AGENTDOCS_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
}
}
}
pi / oh-my-pi
Base pi ships without MCP support — use the
Skill or the plain
REST API there. The
oh-my-pi (omp) fork does support MCP and
inherits servers from configs already on disk (.claude, .cursor, .codex,
.vscode, …) — add the standard mcpServers block above to one of those (e.g.
.cursor/mcp.json) and restart omp.
Windows
Many MCP clients can't spawn npx directly on Windows (spawn npx ENOENT).
Wrap the command in cmd /c:
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "agentdocs-mcp"]
Catalog-based MCP gateways (e.g. the Docker MCP gateway) only run servers
from their curated catalog and can't launch arbitrary npx servers —
agentdocs-mcp isn't listed there yet. Use the hosted remote endpoint
instead: https://agentdocs.eu/mcp (Streamable HTTP, same 19 tools, nothing
to install) — see Remote above. Failing
that, the REST API has full parity.
Configuration
AGENTDOCS_TOKEN | contents of ~/.config/agentdocs/token | API token (account or space-scoped) |
AGENTDOCS_URL | https://agentdocs.eu | Override the API base URL. Advanced — only set this if you've been given a different endpoint |
Updating
The setup commands above are unpinned (npx -y agentdocs-mcp), so they always
resolve the latest published version. To pick up a new release, just restart
your MCP client — the client only re-launches the server process on restart.
The server prints its version on startup (stderr): agentdocs-mcp vX.Y.Z: connected ….
If npx serves a stale cached copy, force a refresh:
npx -y agentdocs-mcp@latest

¹ Hidden when running with a space-scoped token.
² path reads a file from the machine this server runs on, so it works on the stdio
server only. The hosted agentdocs.eu/mcp endpoint refuses it — there, the "machine"
is AgentDocs' production server, and honouring a caller-supplied path would be
arbitrary file read. Use source_url or data there.
Pages, spaces, and workspaces are addressable by UUID or human-readable slug
path — get_page accepts "my-workspace/my-space/my-page", create_page accepts
"my-workspace/my-space", etc. (Slug paths require an account token.)
Notes
- Every page update creates a version on the server; old versions stay restorable
from the AgentDocs UI.
- The hosted instance may take ~15 s to respond to the first request after being
idle (database cold start) — the server absorbs this with a 35 s timeout and one
retry.
- Free-tier API limits surface as clear messages with an upgrade link.
Development
npm install
npm run build
SMOKE_TESTBED_SPACE="workspace-slug/scratch-space-slug" \
SMOKE_KNOWN_PAGE="workspace-slug/space-slug/page-slug" \
node test/smoke.mjs
AGENTDOCS_TOKEN=<space-token> node test/smoke-space-token.mjs
The testbed space is written to (pages created and deleted) — use a scratch space.
