XenoDocs MCP - Up-to-date Documentation For Any Library

❌ Without XenoDocs

LLMs rely on outdated or generic information about the libraries you use. You get:

❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data
❌ Hallucinated APIs that don't even exist
❌ Generic answers for old package versions

✅ With XenoDocs

XenoDocs MCP pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt.

Tell your AI assistant to search for library documentation:

Search for "authentication middleware" in the FastAPI library documentation

Find examples of async functions in the httpx library

XenoDocs fetches up-to-date code examples and documentation right into your LLM's context.

1️⃣ Write your prompt naturally
2️⃣ Ask for specific library documentation
3️⃣ Get working code answers

No tab-switching, no hallucinated APIs that don't exist, no outdated code generation.

🚨 Troubleshooting

Command Not Found Errors

If you get "command not found" errors:

For uv projects: Make sure you're in a directory with a pyproject.toml file

For pip installation: Use the Python module method:

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["-m", "xenodocs_mcp_server.server"]
}

API Key Not Found Error

If you see WARNING: XENODOCS_API_KEY not set!, make sure you've configured the API key in your MCP client configuration or as a system environment variable.

General MCP Client Errors

Restart your MCP client completely
Check that your installation method is working by running the command manually
Check client output/logs for MCP connection errors
Verify you have the correct Python version (>=3.10)
