Redocly — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects your coding agent to live Redocly documentation, helping look up OpenAPI guides and linting instructions.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://redocly.com/mcpWhat Redocly does
This server hooks your coding assistant directly to the hosted endpoint at https://redocly.com/mcp via HTTP. It pulls current product manuals, framework setup instructions, and blog articles straight into your editor context. The tool also lets the assistant submit error reports directly to the Redocly documentation maintainers if a page contains bugs or gaps.
You do not need to run local binaries on your machine, but outbound web access to https://redocly.com/mcp is mandatory. The remote endpoint records basic usage telemetry, including tool names, execution duration, and client metadata. It never reads your prompt conversations and will not modify project files or account configurations.
What it helps with
- search documentation for
redocly.yamlconfiguration - write custom OpenAPI lint rules
- report broken or inaccurate documentation pages
- configure a documentation portal for API specs
Example prompts for the agent
- Run Redocly CLI lint on my OpenAPI spec and break down the issues.
- Draft a Redocly lint rule that enforces operationId on all paths.
- Look up the Redocly guide for setting up an API reference site.
