🔓 Inkeep MCP: Universal Documentation Bridge

English | 中文

Unlock the "Ask AI" capability from ANY Inkeep-powered documentation site. Connect your local AI Agent directly to the official docs of Langfuse, Render, Clerk, and countless others.

Inkeep MCP is a universal connector built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It bridges the gap between your local AI tools (Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and the wealth of knowledge hidden behind the "Ask AI" buttons on modern documentation sites.

It simulates a browser to access Inkeep's services, allowing you to query any supported site without needing official API keys or manual configuration.

🧐 The "Why"

The Problem: Locked Knowledge

Top-tier dev tools (Langfuse, Render, Neon...) use Inkeep to power their excellent AI search. But this capability is locked inside their browser widgets.

• Developers have to leave their terminal to search.
• AI Agents (Gemini/Claude) can't access this high-quality, up-to-date knowledge base programmatically.

The Solution: A Universal Bridge

This tool "liberates" that knowledge. It acts as a universal adapter that:

1. Scans the target website (any website!) for Inkeep configuration.
2. Connects using the site's own public credentials (simulating a visitor).
3. Streams the answers back to your CLI or Agent.

Result: Your AI Agent gains the ability to "read" the official docs of any product that uses Inkeep.

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

git clone https://github.com/xu-xiang/inkeep-mcp.git
cd inkeep-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

CLI Usage (Human Mode)

You can use it as a standalone CLI tool to query docs from your terminal.

# Ask a question to Langfuse docs
python3 cli.py ask langfuse "How do I trace LangChain chains?"

# Start an interactive chat session with Render docs
python3 cli.py chat render

# Add a new documentation source
python3 cli.py add supabase https://supabase.com/docs --desc "Supabase Docs"

🤖 MCP Integration (Agent Mode)

Give your AI assistant the power to read docs.

Gemini CLI

Add to your ~/.gemini/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inkeep": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/inkeep-mcp/mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {"PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"}
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inkeep": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/inkeep-mcp/mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

📖 How it Works

1. Registry: Maintains a local map of aliases (langfuse) to URLs (https://langfuse.com). It automatically syncs with the latest built-in defaults on startup.
2. Extraction: When connecting to a new site, it simulates a browser request, scanning frontend JS bundles to find the embedded Inkeep configuration.
3. Authentication: It requests a Challenge from Inkeep and solves the SHA-256 PoW locally.
4. Query: It streams the question to Inkeep's QA expert model and returns the result to your Agent.
