GitHub Pages Documentation

DocuMCP - Intelligent Documentation Deployment MCP Server

DocuMCP is an intelligent Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that revolutionizes documentation deployment for open-source projects. It provides deep repository analysis, intelligent static site generator recommendations, and automated GitHub Pages deployment workflows.

TL;DR

DocuMCP analyzes your repository, recommends the perfect static site generator (Jekyll, Hugo, Docusaurus, MkDocs, or Eleventy), creates professional documentation structure following Diataxis principles, and deploys it automatically to GitHub Pages. Just say "analyze my repository and deploy documentation" to get started.

Features

Core Capabilities

• 🔍 Repository Analysis: Deep multi-layered analysis of project structure, dependencies, and documentation needs
• 🎯 SSG Recommendations: Data-driven recommendations for Jekyll, Hugo, Docusaurus, MkDocs, or Eleventy
• 📚 Diataxis Framework: Automatic creation of well-structured documentation following proven principles
• 🚀 GitHub Pages Deployment: Automated workflow generation with SSG-specific optimizations
• ✅ Deployment Verification: Comprehensive checks and troubleshooting for successful deployments

Intelligence & Learning (Phase 2)

MCP Client Setup

DocuMCP works with various MCP-enabled clients. Here's how to configure it:

Claude Desktop

1. Locate Claude Desktop's configuration file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   • Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add documcp server configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "documcp": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["documcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop to load the configuration.

VS Code with GitHub Copilot

1. Install MCP extension for VS Code
2. Configure in VS Code settings.json:

   {
     "mcp.servers": {
       "documcp": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["documcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   

Cursor Editor

1. Configure in Cursor settings:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "documcp": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["documcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   

Gemini Code Assist

1. Check Gemini documentation for MCP server configuration
2. Add similar configuration as above

Troubleshooting

• Ensure npx is available in your PATH
• For global installations, use the full path:

  {
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["/usr/local/lib/node_modules/documcp/dist/index.js"]
  }
  

• Find installation path: npm list -g documcp

Quick Start

Once configured with your MCP client, just prompt DocuMCP with natural language:

# Complete workflow
"analyze my repository and deploy documentation to GitHub Pages"

# Step by step
"analyze my repository for documentation needs"
"recommend the best static site generator for my project"
"set up documentation structure and deploy to GitHub Pages"

DocuMCP provides 30+ tools including repository analysis, intelligent SSG recommendations, content generation, deployment automation with tracking, validation, user preference management, deployment analytics, and memory-enhanced insights. See the complete documentation for detailed tool reference.
