augments-mcp-server

A next-generation framework documentation provider for Claude Code via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Provides query-focused API context by extracting TypeScript definitions directly from npm packages - delivering minimal, accurate information instead of dumping entire documentation pages.

mcp-name: dev.augments/mcp

What's New in v4

Version 4.0 introduces a fundamentally new approach to framework documentation:

| Old Approach (v3) | New Approach (v4) | |-------------------|-------------------| | Fetch entire documentation pages | Extract specific API signatures | | ~50KB of context per query | ~500 tokens of precise context | | Manual framework registry (85) | Auto-discovery via npm (millions) | | No version support | Version-specific queries | | Prose documentation | TypeScript definitions (source of truth) |

Why TypeScript Definitions?

Documentation can be outdated or wrong. TypeScript definitions can't lie - they're compiled and must match the actual API. When you ask "what are the params for useEffect?", v4 gives you:

function useEffect(effect: EffectCallback, deps?: DependencyList): void

Not 5KB of tutorial explaining what effects are.

Quick Start

Option 1: Hosted MCP Server (Recommended)

# Add the hosted MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http augments https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp

# Verify configuration
claude mcp list

Option 2: Using Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.augments.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
