A next-generation framework documentation provider for Claude Code via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Returns types + prose + examples with context-aware formatting for any npm package — not just curated ones.

mcp-name: dev.augments/mcp

What's New in v7

Version 7.0 is the biggest upgrade yet — documentation-first search, 4 new tools, BM25 indexing, and production-grade reliability.

Quick Start

Claude Code

# Add the MCP server (runs locally via npx)
claude mcp add -s user augments -- npx -y @augmnt-sh/augments-mcp-server

# Verify configuration
claude mcp list

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@augmnt-sh/augments-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Set GITHUB_TOKEN for higher GitHub API rate limits when fetching examples and documentation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augments": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@augmnt-sh/augments-mcp-server"],
