The Docs MCP Server is compatible with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

​
Connection Modes

Most clients support two connection modes:
Connects to a running server instance (e.g., via Docker or npx).
  • SSE URL: http://localhost:6280/sse
  • HTTP URL: http://localhost:6280/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Use this mode when running the server with Docker or as a standalone process.
