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.

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.

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 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_fonto_page, list_pages, 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 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 150 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 with the file path 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 3 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 150 ms on average, which is faster than 77% 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?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 4 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
