Documentation MCP

This is the documentation MCP server — for AI tools to search Userplane docs inline while you integrate the SDK. To connect AI agents to your workspace for recording analysis and debugging, see Userplane MCP instead.

Userplane’s Documentation MCP server gives AI tools like Claude, Cursor, Goose, and ChatGPT direct access to the Userplane docs — so they can search them inline while generating responses, rather than relying on web search.

The Documentation MCP server is available at:

Open Connectors

Navigate to the Connectors page in your Claude settings.

Add a custom connector

Select Add custom connector.

Enter server details

Enter a name (e.g., userplane-docs) and the MCP server URL:

https://docs.userplane.io/mcp

Select Add.

Use it in a conversation

Open a new conversation, select the attachments button (the + icon), then select your Userplane connector.

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http userplane-docs https://docs.userplane.io/mcp

Verify the connection:

claude mcp list

The userplane-docs server should appear in the list.

See the Claude Code documentation for more details.

Open the command palette

Press Cmd+Shift+P (or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows).

Open MCP settings

Search for Open MCP settings and select it. This opens mcp.json.

Configure the server

Add Userplane to the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "userplane-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.userplane.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Test the connection

In Cursor’s chat, ask “What tools do you have available?” — Cursor should list the Userplane Documentation MCP server.

See Installing MCP servers in the Cursor documentation for more details.

Create the config file

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root.

Configure the server

Add Userplane as a server:

{
  "servers": {
    "userplane-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.userplane.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

See the VS Code documentation for more details.

MCP vs web search

AI tools can search the web, but MCP provides distinct advantages for documentation access.

	Web search	MCP
Source	Search engine index — may be stale or incomplete	Your current indexed documentation, directly
Workflow	Separate search step before or after a response	Searches inline during response generation
Signal quality	SEO and ranking algorithms influence results	Straight to your documentation content, no noise

Rate limits

To protect availability, Userplane applies the following rate limits to MCP requests.

Scope	Limit
Per user (IP address)	5,000 requests / hour
Per documentation site	1,000 requests / hour

Userplane MCP — connect AI agents to your workspace for debugging and root cause analysis.
Agent Skills — install Userplane Agent Skills for SDK integration guidance.
Claude Code Plugin — the full Userplane plugin with skills, commands, and MCP servers.
Installation — install the Userplane SDK in your app.
