# Reader MCP Server

The **Reader MCP Server** lets your readers connect their own AI agent directly to your docs and perform contextual actions like intelligent search.

The MCP integration lets agents access your docs via a standardised protocol endpoint under the `/mcp`  route of your docs URL, for example: `https://docs.example.com/mcp`.

When an MCP-compatible client or AI agent connects to this route, it can use the tools exposed by the MCP server to interact with your docs.

This server is read-only and covers your published docs. To let your own team write and publish pages from an AI client, see the [Editor MCP Server](https://docs.developerhub.io/support-center/editor-mcp-server).

## Tools Available

The tools available under the MCP server are:

- `search`: Runs a natural-language search over your docs.

The MCP server supports the Streamable HTTP transport.

## Enabling MCP Server

The reader MCP server runs on the same index as [AI Assistant](https://docs.developerhub.io/support-center/ai-search), so AI Assistant has to be on first. To enable the MCP server:

- Open Project Settings → **AI** → **AI Agents & MCP**, then the **Readers** tab.
- Under **AI Assistant**, turn on **MCP server**.
- Click **Save changes** in the top menu.

It will take up to 5 minutes for the change to occur. If the [AI Tools button](https://docs.developerhub.io/support-center/ask-llm) is on, readers can connect Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, or Cursor to your docs from its **Connect your AI tool** menu item.

## Limitations

MCP server is only available for public projects. [Contact us](https://docs.developerhub.io/support-center/contact-us) if you'd like to add it for a private project.

## Try out our MCP Server

You can test out our own MCP server before enabling it on your docs. For a quick test, click the arrow next to **Copy page** at the top of this page > **Connect your AI tool**. Alternatively, you can do it manually. Let's take Cursor as the MCP client for an example:

- Launch **Cursor**.
- Under **Settings** > **Cursor Settings**.
- Click on **Tools** in the sidebar.
- Click **New MCP Server**.
- In the file that was opened, enter the following:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "DeveloperHub Docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.developerhub.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

- Save the file.
- Toggle the AI pane ⌘ + I.
- Ask the agent a question like "Search DeveloperHub docs for how to add an image".
