## What it does

docs2mcp is a hosted MCP server, not something you run locally. The repository holds connection instructions only — no server code. The endpoint is `https://mcp.docs2mcp.com/mcp`, transport is Streamable HTTP, and authentication runs on OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, so no client id or secret is required.

Five tools sit behind it. `search_documents` does semantic search and returns cited passages with page numbers; `list_documents` and `get_document` cover the library and a single file; `get_element` returns an element with its surroundings, and a full table row when the element is a cell; `list_collections` lists your collections. Every hit carries a `source_url` that opens the document in a browser at the right page and region. That helps when you want to fill in a questionnaire from your own paperwork or diff two versions of a contract.

Documents are uploaded at `https://app.docs2mcp.com`, and you can start without an account. The anonymous session holding your files lives in the browser you uploaded from, so approve access in that same browser — approving elsewhere grants access to an empty library. Signing up later converts the same library in place, so nothing is lost.
