Overview
What is UV Documentation MCP Server?
An MCP server that provides programmatic access to UV documentation through a standardized API, exposing high‑level documentation sections and detailed command documentation (including subsections) as individual MCP resources.
How to use UV Documentation MCP Server?
Requires Python 3.13+ (minimum 3.10 for MCP SDK compatibility). Clone the repository, create a virtual environment, install dependencies with pip install -e ., then run the server with uv run uv-docs. For use with Claude Desktop, configure the MCP server settings using the uv command with the appropriate --directory and run arguments.
Key features of UV Documentation MCP Server

uv-docs://URIs (sections, commands, subsections) - Tools:
update_cacheandsearch_documentationfor cache and real‑time queries - Prompt template
summarize-docsfor AI documentation summaries - Version‑aware caching with segmented section storage
- Fully open‑source and publishable to PyPI
Use cases of UV Documentation MCP Server
- AI assistants retrieving precise UV documentation sections on demand

FAQ from UV Documentation MCP Server
What does the resource layer provide?
Resources expose UV documentation via URIs like uv-docs://cli, uv-docs://cli/uv-cache, and uv-docs://cli/uv-cache/uv-cache-dir, returning JSON with metadata and full documentation content.
How can I search documentation in real time?
Use the search_documentation tool, which accepts a query string and performs a live search over the UV documentation.
What are the runtime dependencies?
Python 3.10+ (3.13+ recommended) and the MCP Python SDK. The project is installed via pip and run with uv (or uvx for published versions).
How does caching work?
A version‑aware cache is initialized at startup. Each documentation section (CLI, settings, resolver) is cached separately. The cache is automatically updated when the live version changes, or manually via the update_cache tool.
Is authentication or specific transport required?
No authentication or special transport is mentioned. The server uses standard MCP communication over stdio, configured through MCP client settings.
