What is UV Documentation MCP Server?
The UV Documentation MCP Server is a server that exposes UV documentation through a standardized API using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides programmatic access to UV documentation, allowing clients to query and retrieve specific documentation sections, commands, and subsections.
How to use UV Documentation MCP Server?
To use the server, first clone the repository and set up a virtual environment with Python 3.13+ (minimum 3.10 for MCP SDK compatibility). Install the dependencies using pip install -e . and then run the server using uv run uv-docs. You can then interact with the server using an MCP client, such as Claude Desktop or the MCP Inspector, to access the UV documentation resources and tools.

FAQ from UV Documentation MCP Server
What is the purpose of the Resource Layer?
What is the purpose of the Resource Layer?
The Resource Layer exposes UV documentation via URIs with the scheme uv-docs://, providing a hierarchical structure for accessing different levels of documentation (sections, commands, subsections).
How do I update the documentation cache?
How do I update the documentation cache?
You can update the documentation cache using the update_cache tool, which checks the live version against the cached version and updates if necessary.
What is the summarize-docs prompt used for?
What is the summarize-docs prompt used for?
The summarize-docs prompt is a pre-built prompt template for AI assistants to generate summaries of UV documentation sections.
What is the MCP Inspector and how do I use it?
What is the MCP Inspector and how do I use it?
The MCP Inspector is a tool for debugging and inspecting MCP servers. You can use it to run the server and display a URL in your browser for debugging.
What is the caching mechanism used by the server?
What is the caching mechanism used by the server?
The server implements a version-aware caching system that initializes on server start, checks versions against live documentation, automatically updates when versions change, and allows manual updates via the update_cache tool. Each documentation section is cached separately.
