Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Why is there no uptime for Docs Ask (local docs RAG)?

How do I connect Docs Ask (local docs RAG)?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-docs-ask straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Docs Ask (local docs RAG)?

The pypi package mcp-docs-ask was installed 451 times in the last week. Week over week that is +205%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
