Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Fonto Docs every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

fonto

get_fonto_page

Fetch the full content of a Fonto documentation page by its slug (the part of the URL after /latest/). Use search_fonto_docs or list_pages first to find the right slug.

search_fonto_docs

Search the Fonto XML documentation using full-text search. Returns results ranked by relevance with titles, descriptions, and slugs. Best for looking up a concept, API name, or feature by keyword.

lookup

lookup_api

Look up a Fonto API symbol by exact name (function, class, manager, type, or component — e.g. 'documentsManager', 'createIconWidget', 'CvkOptions') and return its full documentation page in one call. Accepts call syntax ('registerWidget()'), import paths ('fontoxml-families/src/createIconWidget'), and member access ('documentsManager.getNodeById', resolved to the owner's page). Matching is case-sensitive first, so 'DocumentsManager' (class) and 'documentsManager' (instance) resolve to different pages; other same-named pages are listed as alternatives. If no page has that name, returns search suggestions instead — use search_fonto_docs for concepts or partial names.

pages

list_pages

Filter Fonto documentation pages by title, product, or ancestry keyword. Returns all matches without ranking — useful when you know the product area or part of the page title. For full-text relevance search use search_fonto_docs; for the complete catalog use the fonto://catalog resource.

Fonto Docs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fonto Docs do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_fonto_page, list_pages, lookup_api, search_fonto_docs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Fonto Docs working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 141 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Fonto Docs?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Fonto Docs need an API key?

No. Fonto Docs completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Fonto Docs?

It answers our handshake in 141 ms on average, which is faster than 88% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Fonto Docs open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 5 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at fonto-docs.elliat.nl, which runs on its operator's own terms.
