ByJG Open Source Docs — Claude Code MCP server: docs search
Semantic search over the docs of every ByJG open source project — MicroOrm, RestServer, Gluo, EasyHAProxy and more. Answers come with the page they were taken from.
claude mcp add --transport http docs https://mcpdocs.byjg.com/mcpWhat ByJG Open Source Docs does
Point your client at https://mcpdocs.byjg.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP. The docs are public, so no token is required. The URL has to end in /mcp or the connection fails.
Three tools ship with it. search_docs(query, limit, category, project) returns ranked passages, each carrying its public URL. get_document(source_path) hands back the full markdown of a single page. list_projects() tells you what is indexed. Pass either plain language or an exact symbol such as TableAttribute — both are accepted.
Every tool call gets logged: the query, the filters, how well the docs matched. That log stays on the server. Keep secrets out of your queries. Self-hosting is possible and a private copy can require a bearer token instead — the public endpoint has none.
What it helps with
- find how to map a table to a class in MicroOrm
- pull the full markdown of one documentation page
- see which ByJG projects are in the index
- look up RestServer usage by exact symbol name
- check whether the docs cover a given scenario
Example prompts for the agent
- Search the ByJG docs for how to configure EasyHAProxy behind a reverse proxy
- Fetch the full page for the source path from that result
- Which ByJG projects are indexed?
