OpenBB Documentation MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides OpenBB Workspace documentation to AI assistants through a two-step retrieval workflow.

What it does

This server exposes two tools that work together to retrieve relevant OpenBB documentation:

1. identify_openbb_docs_sections

• Takes a user query
• Fetches the complete OpenBB documentation table of contents
• Provides it to the LLM with instructions to identify up to 3 relevant section titles
• Returns the raw TOC for intelligent analysis

2. fetch_openbb_content

• Takes the section titles identified in step 1 + the original user query
• Fetches the full OpenBB documentation
• Extracts only the relevant sections
• Returns the content with OpenBB Copilot-compatible citation format instructions

Workflow

1. LLM calls identify_openbb_docs_sections with user's question
2. LLM analyzes the TOC and identifies relevant sections (up to 3)
3. LLM calls fetch_openbb_content with those section titles
4. LLM uses the extracted content to answer the user's question with proper citations
