MCP

The Capillary Documentation Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Capillary Documentation API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Capillary Documentation MCP server provides AI agents with:

  • Direct API access to Capillary Documentation functionality
  • Documentation search capabilities
  • Real-time data from your Capillary Documentation account
  • Code generation assistance for Capillary Documentation integrations

Capillary Documentation MCP Server Setup

Capillary Documentation hosts a remote MCP server at https://docs.capillarytech.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "capillary-documentation": {
      "url": "https://docs.capillarytech.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about Capillary Documentation - try questions like:
    • "How do I [common use case]?"
    • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
    • "Create a [integration type] using Capillary Documentation"

The AI should now have access to your Capillary Documentation account data and documentation through the MCP server.
