What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A self-hosted MCP server that indexes documentation from websites, GitHub, npm, PyPI, and local files so AI coding assistants can query up-to-date, version-specific docs. It is an open-source alternative to Context7, Nia, and Ref.Tools, with a CLI and web interface.

Use cases

• give my AI coding assistant up-to-date library documentation
• reduce LLM hallucinations when writing code against a specific library version
• index documentation from a website or GitHub repo for AI retrieval
• query docs for the exact version of react my project uses
• self-hosted alternative to Context7 for Cursor or VS Code Copilot
• search indexed documentation from the command line
• convert documentation pages to markdown for LLM context

When to choose

• you use MCP-compatible AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, Windsurf) and want grounded, version-specific documentation
• you want a private, local-first documentation index that keeps code and queries on your machine
• you need to index docs from many sources including PDFs, Office files, and local folders

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed hosted documentation service without running anything locally
• you do not use any MCP-compatible AI tooling
• you only need simple web search rather than a curated documentation index
