# docs-mcp
An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for accessing documentation for Rust crates. Does *not* require nightly or downloading crates. Instead uses the rustdoc JSON published on docs.rs. Also expose some additional API calls from crates.io and the crates.io sparse index.
## Quick Start
```bash
cargo build --release
./target/release/docs-mcp
```
Add to your MCP config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"docs-mcp": {
"command": "/path/to/docs-mcp"
}
}
}
```
