MCP Server for PipeCD Docs Has Been Released

Introduction

Finding the right information in the official PipeCD docs can sometimes be challenging due to its volume. To address this, we have developed the “PipeCD Docs Local MCP Server,” which allows you to perform full-text searches on the official documentation locally.
This server automatically fetches the PipeCD docs from GitHub and provides simple APIs for full-text search via the MCP protocol.

The repository is here: https://github.com/pipe-cd/docs-mcp-server

Example

For example, when I ask Cursor how to configure PipeCD for ECS, Cursor will search docs via the MCP server like this:

Usage

See README for details.

After preparing npm config to fetch the package from GitHub Packages registry, you can simply run the server by npx @pipe-cd/docs-mcp-server@latest.

For example, for Cursor editor, add the following to your mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipe-cd.docs-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@pipe-cd/docs-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

The MCP Server provides two tools for now:

• search_docs: Performs full-text search with keywords.
• read_docs: Retrieves the content of a specified page.

Development Highlights

• Efficient cloning with sparse checkout
  Only the necessary directory (docs/content/en) is cloned to speed up processing.

• Simple Search Logic
  The current search logic is simple: it prioritizes title matches, followed by content matches.

Conclusion

We hope this tool helps PipeCD users to configure or find information more efficiently. Contributions, including bug reports and feature requests are welcome via Issues.
