python-docs-server MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that provides tools to fetch Python documentation using the Brave Search API.

Features

Tools

• get_python_docs - Get Python documentation for a given query
  • Takes a search query as a required parameter
  • Uses the Brave Search API to fetch relevant documentation links

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "python-docs-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/python-docs-server/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
