What is WebHelp MCP Server?

WebHelp MCP Server is a Next.js-based service that creates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from Oxygen WebHelp documentation sites. It enables AI tools like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Deep Research, and Cursor to query and retrieve documentation content seamlessly. The server dynamically loads WebHelp search indexes and exposes two powerful MCP tools:
  • search — Query documentation with semantic search and boolean operators
  • fetch — Retrieve complete document content converted to Markdown

​
Key Features

​
How It Works

The server uses a Next.js API route at /[...site] that:
  1. Accepts a WebHelp site URL in the request path
  2. Dynamically loads the site’s search index
  3. Exposes MCP search and fetch tools
  4. Converts HTML content to Markdown for AI processing
All processing happens server-side — no client-side JavaScript required.
