Algolia DocSearch MCP Plugins

This directory contains client plugin packages for the public Algolia DocSearch MCP endpoint:

https://mcp.algolia.com/1/docsearch/mcp

The plugins connect AI coding clients to the public DocSearch documentation corpus. They do not expose crawler operations, DocSearch administration, private documentation, or Algolia index credentials.

Packages

• mcp/plugins/docsearch/chatgpt/algolia-docsearch - Universal ChatGPT and Codex plugin package with manifest, MCP config, skill, assets, and submission materials.
• mcp/plugins/docsearch/cursor/algolia-docsearch - Cursor plugin package with MCP config, rule, skill, and README.
• mcp/plugins/docsearch/claude/algolia-docsearch - Claude Code plugin package with MCP config, skill, command, and README.

Public MCP Tools

You can query in natural language — full sentences and questions work well.

algolia_docsearch_search_docs

One-shot lookup, and the right default for most questions. Pass a library and a query; it resolves the best matching documentation set and returns ranked content in a single call:

{
  "library": "Next.js",
  "query": "how do middleware matchers work"
}

If the library is ambiguous, it returns candidate documentation sets instead — pick a docset_id and pass it to algolia_docsearch_query_docs.

algolia_docsearch_resolve_docset

Step 1 of the manual flow. Finds matching documentation sets and returns candidates with:

• docset_id
• title and description
• optional quality signals such as trustScore, benchmarkScore, and popularityScore

{
  "query": "Next.js app router"
}

algolia_docsearch_query_docs

Step 2 of the manual flow. Queries documentation content for the selected docset_id values. Pass several when a question spans multiple products:

{
  "query": "middleware matcher config",
  "docsetIds": ["nextjs"]
}

Claude Desktop And claude.ai

Claude Desktop and claude.ai can connect directly to the same remote MCP endpoint when remote connectors are available in the client:

{
  "algolia-docsearch": {
    "type": "http",
    "url": "https://mcp.algolia.com/1/docsearch/mcp"
  }
}

No user authentication is required for the public DocSearch MCP endpoint.
