Grounded Docs MCP Server
Self-hosted documentation index for coding agents: scrapes official docs from websites, GitHub, npm, PyPI and local files so agents query the exact library version in use.

Description
Positions itself as an open-source alternative to Context7, Nia and Ref.Tools. Runs entirely on your machine (Node.js 22+) as a CLI (npx @arabold/docs-mcp-server@latest scrape|search|fetch-url) or a long-running server with a web UI at http://localhost:6280 and a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at http://localhost:6280/mcp; Docker images are available. Processes HTML, Markdown, PDF, Office and OpenDocument files, EPUB, Jupyter notebooks, archives and 90+ source-code languages.

Guides & comparisons
- Give your coding agent up-to-date library docs over MCP (Context7, GitMCP, DeepWiki, Microsoft Learn) (Guide): Stop your coding agent from guessing at APIs that changed after its training cutoff. Connect free remote docs MCP servers (Context7, GitMCP, DeepWiki, Microsoft Learn) to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, learn which tool to call for what, and keep a self-hosted fallback for private docs.
