Package Documentation MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides LLMs with efficient access to package documentation across multiple programming languages and language server protocol (LSP) capabilities.

_Note: I am not actively maintaining the codebase at present. While it doesn't provide access to private package documentation - the Context7 MCP server and service meets my needs which are mostly for public package documentation. I personally use Context7 via my mcp-devtools MCP server which is actively maintained._

Features

- Advanced Search Features:
- Search within package documentation
- Fuzzy matching for flexible queries
- Context-aware results with relevance scoring
- Symbol extraction from search results

- Performance Optimised:
- Built-in caching
- Efficient parsing
- Minimal memory footprint
