uptodoc
uptodoc is a lightweight MCP server designed to enhance IDE-integrated AI agents by providing up-to-date documentation. It supports tools like GitHub Copilot by offering custom library and framework data for more accurate coding suggestions.
Overview
uptodoc provides a local server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI assistants integrated into IDEs like VSCode to query a custom documentation database, offering more relevant and up-to-date information about libraries and frameworks.
Typical use cases:
- Fetching more recent or project-specific documentation
- Improving AI suggestions in coding assistants
- Extending Copilot, Roocode, Cursor, or Windsurf with custom knowledge
Requirements
- Node.js version 22 or higher
- VSCode version 1.99.3 or higher (or any compatible MCP client)
Installation
You don't need to install uptodoc globally. It is automatically launched by your IDE when configured correctly.
Make sure npx is available on your system (comes with Node.js).
IDE Configuration
To use uptodoc in VSCode, modify your settings as described to include the MCP configuration, and set the appropriate endpoint for documentation.
