DocuMCP (RAG Documentation Server)

DocuMCP

🤖 A comprehensive MCP system for intelligent code documentation generation with RAG capabilities and multi-agent orchestration

DocuMCP consists of two complementary MCP servers:

1. DocuMCP Server: Core documentation generation with vector embeddings and semantic search
2. DocuMCP Manager: Agent orchestration for parallel documentation workflows using multiple Claude Code sub-agents

Together, they enable Claude to generate, search, and manage documentation for your codebase at any scale, from single files to entire enterprise applications.

✨ Features

Core Documentation Features

• 📚 Generate and update documentation based on your codebase
• 🔍 Semantic search across code, documentation, and diagrams
• 📊 Create and merge architectural diagrams
• 📝 Generate user guides
• 💾 Support for multiple vector databases (LanceDB, ChromaDB, Qdrant)
• 🧠 Flexible embedding providers (built-in or Ollama)

Multi-Agent Orchestration (Manager Server)

• 🤖 Spawn multiple Claude Code sub-agents for parallel processing
• 📊 Monitor agent status and retrieve results
• 🔄 Shared vector database across all agents
• ⚡ Scale documentation generation for large codebases
• 💰 Track costs and performance metrics

🚀 Quick Start

Installation via NPX (Recommended)

The easiest way to use DocuMCP is to configure Claude Desktop with the published npm package:

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

For Core DocuMCP Server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docu-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@myjungle/docu-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

For DocuMCP Manager (Agent Orchestration):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docu-mcp-manager": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@myjungle/docu-mcp-manager"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and both servers will be available.

Alternative Installation Methods

Using Smithery CLI

Install the server via Smithery CLI:

# Install Smithery CLI if you don't have it
npm install -g @smithery/cli

# Then install the Docu MCP server
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @YannickTM/docu-mcp --client claude

🚀 Manual Start

1. Clone and Install

git clone https://github.com/YannickTM/docu-mcp
cd docu-mcp
npm install

2. Build the Servers

# Build DocuMCP Server
cd mcp
npm run build
cd ..

# Build DocuMCP Manager
cd manager
npm run build
cd ..

3. Advanced Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Configuration for Both Servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docu-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "env": {
        "VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER": "qdrant",
        "QDRANT_URL": "http://localhost:6333",
        "EMBEDDING_PROVIDER": "ollama",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "bge-m3:latest",
        "EMBEDDING_DIMENSION": "1024",
        "OLLAMA_URL": "http://localhost:11434"
      },
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/DocuMCP/mcp/dist/index.js"]
    },
    "docu-mcp-manager": {
      "command": "node",
      "env": {
        "VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER": "qdrant",
        "QDRANT_URL": "http://localhost:6333",
        "EMBEDDING_PROVIDER": "ollama",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "bge-m3:latest",
        "EMBEDDING_DIMENSION": "1024",
        "OLLAMA_URL": "http://localhost:11434",
        "SUB_AGENT_MODEL": "claude-3-7-sonnet-latest"
      },
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/DocuMCP/manager/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Important: Both servers should use the same vector database configuration to enable shared access.

4. Start Required Services (if using external providers)

For Qdrant:

cd qdrant
npm run start

For ChromaDB:

cd chromadb
npm run start

5. Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to load the new configuration.
