mkdocs-mcp-example CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a monorepo that combines an MkDocs Material documentation site with a Python MCP server. A monorepo keeps multiple related components in one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the documentation site, MCP server, shared docs, workspace configuration, or the server's documentation-search tools.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent the project's layout, shared documentation sources, dependency setup, and main components before it changes code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

mkdocs-mcp-example CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Project Overview

This is a monorepo demonstrating the integration of MkDocs Material documentation with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The project uses uv for dependency management and follows a workspace architecture with two main components.

Architecture

Workspace Structure

  • Root: uv workspace configuration (pyproject.toml) with shared development tools (ruff, mypy, pytest, pre-commit)
  • mkdocs-site/: MkDocs Material configuration (mkdocs.yml) and theme customization
  • mcp-server/: Python MCP server implementation providing AI access to documentation
  • docs/: Shared documentation source files consumed by both components

Core Components

MCP Server (mcp-server/src/mkdocs_mcp/):

  • server.py: Main MCP server using STDIO transport, handles protocol implementation
  • resources.py: DocumentationResourceManager - converts Markdown files to MCP resources with frontmatter parsing
  • tools.py: DocumentationToolManager - provides 5 AI tools: search_docs, find_by_title, list_pages, get_page_outline, search_code_blocks

MkDocs Configuration (mkdocs-site/mkdocs.yml):

  • Material theme with dark/light mode, navigation features, and search
  • Plugins: search, minify, git-revision-date-localized, mkdocstrings (for API docs)
  • Markdown extensions: admonitions, code highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, tabbed content
  • docs_dir: ../docs points to shared documentation source

Key Architectural Decision: The MCP server reads directly from the docs/ directory to serve real-time documentation content to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol. MkDocs builds from the same docs/ directory, ensuring both systems stay synchronized.

Common Development Commands

Essential Setup

# Initial setup (runs uv sync --dev + pre-commit install)
make setup

# Start both documentation and MCP server simultaneously  
make dev

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
