Open source CLI tool

Give your AI the docs it needs

One command converts any documentation site into clean Markdown files your AI assistant can read. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf.

Get Started

npx docmunch <url> Open source

terminal

$ npx docmunch docs.stripe.com --crawl --name stripe

Detecting platform... Mintlify

Crawling 47 pages...

✓ Saved to .ai/docs/stripe/

Your AI can read the docs now.

How it works

From zero to AI-readable docs in three steps.

Crawl any docs

No install needed

terminal

$ npx docmunch docs.stripe.com --crawl --name stripe

Detecting platform... Mintlify

Crawling 47 pages...

✓ Saved to .ai/docs/stripe/

One command crawls an entire doc site and saves clean Markdown to your project. Uses npx — nothing to install. Your AI assistant reads the files directly.

Level up

Connect your AI via MCP

Search & browse

terminal

$ claude mcp add --scope project docmunch -- npx docmunch serve

✓ MCP server registered

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to verify the server is connected.

Scale up

Manage multiple sources

Config file

.docmunch.yaml

version: 1
output_dir: .ai/docs
sources:
  - name: stripe
    url: https://docs.stripe.com/api
    crawl: true
  - name: supabase
    url: https://supabase.com/docs
    crawl: true

terminal

$ docmunch update

✓ stripe: 2 pages updated

✓ supabase: up to date

Define all your doc sources in a config file. One command keeps everything fresh — content hashing ensures only changed pages are re-processed.

Everything you need

A complete toolkit for making documentation accessible to AI coding assistants.

Crawl entire doc sites
Follow sidebar navigation and extract every page. Configurable depth, scoped to documentation paths.
MCP server & hosted endpoint
Built-in local MCP server or hosted endpoint at docmunch.dev/mcp. Search, browse, and read docs from your AI.
Platform auto-detection
Automatically detects Mintlify, Docusaurus, GitBook, ReadMe. Falls back to Readability for generic sites.
Config file management
Manage multiple doc sources with .docmunch.yaml. Add, update, and list sources with simple commands.
Smart fetching & refresh
Static HTTP first, auto-retries with Playwright for JS-rendered sites. Content hashing skips unchanged pages.
Works everywhere
Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf — any tool supporting MCP gets full access to your docs.
