Docmole is an MCP server that lets you query **any documentation site** from AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. The mole digs through docs so you don't have to.

## Features

* 🔍 **Universal docs support** — works with any documentation site
* 🏠 **Self-hosted RAG** — LanceDB vectors + OpenAI embeddings, no Python needed
* ⚡ **Zero-setup mode** — instant access to Mintlify-powered sites
* 🧠 **Multi-turn conversations** — remembers context across questions
* 🔗 **WebFetch compatible** — links converted to absolute URLs
* 🔌 **MCP native** — works with Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client

### Coming soon

* 🦙 **Ollama support** — fully local mode, no API keys needed
* 📄 **Generic HTML extraction** — support for non-Mintlify documentation sites
* 🔄 **Incremental updates** — only re-index changed pages

## Installation

To use Docmole, run it directly with bunx (no install needed):

```bash
bunx docmole --help
```

Or install globally:

```bash
bun install -g docmole
```

Works on macOS, Linux and Windows. Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) runtime.

## Getting started

### Local RAG Mode (any docs site)

Index and query any documentation site. Requires `OPENAI_API_KEY`.

```bash
# One-time setup — discovers pages and builds vector index
bunx docmole setup --url https://docs.example.com --id my-docs

# Start the MCP server
bunx docmole serve --project my-docs
```

Add to your MCP client:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-docs": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["docmole", "serve", "--project", "my-docs"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Mintlify Mode (zero setup)

For sites with [Mintlify AI Assistant](https://mintlify.com) — no API key needed:

```bash
bunx docmole -p agno-v2
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agno-docs": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["docmole", "-p", "agno-v2"]
    }
  }
}
```

## CLI

Docmole has a built-in CLI for all operations:

```bash
# Mintlify mode (proxy to Mintlify API)
docmole -p <project-id>

# Local RAG mode
docmole setup --url <docs-url> --id <project-id>
docmole serve --project <project-id>
docmole list
docmole stop --project <project-id>
```

Run `docmole --help` for all options.

## How it works

```
┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────────────┐
│ MCP Client  │────▶│   Docmole   │────▶│ Embedded: LanceDB    │
│ (Claude,    │◀────│ MCP Server  │◀────│ Mintlify: API proxy  │
│  Cursor...) │     └─────────────┘     └──────────────────────┘
└─────────────┘
```

**Local RAG Mode**: Crawls documentation, generates embeddings with OpenAI, stores in LanceDB. Hybrid search combines semantic and keyword matching.

**Mintlify Mode**: Proxies requests to Mintlify's AI Assistant API. Zero setup, instant results.
