Connect Your AI Assistant

Use this URL in any AI assistant that supports remote MCP servers:

https://mcp.docstar.io/mcp

If your assistant has a connector directory, search for DocStar there first. Otherwise add the URL yourself, as below. If your assistant doesn't support MCP at all, use an Auth Key instead: Run the DocStar API with an Auth Key.

#

Claude (claude.ai and the Claude apps)

  1. Open Settings and go to Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector.
  3. Name it DocStar and paste the MCP URL.
  4. Start a chat and ask Claude to list your DocStar organizations. Sign in when you're asked.
#

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http docstar https://mcp.docstar.io/mcp

Then start Claude Code and run /mcp to sign in to DocStar.

#

Cursor

Add DocStar to your MCP settings file (~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docstar": {
      "url": "https://mcp.docstar.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
#

VS Code

Add DocStar to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "docstar": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.docstar.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
#

Other assistants

ChatGPT, Codex and most other assistants have an option to add a remote or custom MCP server. Paste the same URL there.

#

Signing in

  • Reading DocStar's own help and API docs needs no sign-in.
  • The first time the assistant works with your workspace, it asks you to sign in to DocStar in your browser.
  • You never need to copy a token or API key. If an assistant asks you for one, don't share it.

Tip: give your assistant the quickstart

For the best results, start your first conversation with one of these.

To build an MCP server for your own app:

Use the DocStar MCP to turn my app's API into an MCP server. First read https://docstar.io/mcp/quickstart.md and follow it step by step.

To do your documentation work:

Use the DocStar MCP to do my work in DocStar. First read https://docstar.io/mcp/quickstart.md and follow it step by step.

See Build an MCP server for your app for what the assistant sets up.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do

"Invalid API token" Your access was revoked. Remove DocStar from your assistant and add it again.
"Unauthorized" or "Invalid organization" Your account can't access that workspace or collection. Choose another one, or ask an owner for access.
