Self-hosted MCP server that turns your documentation into a searchable knowledge base for AI assistants. Parses MDX, Markdown, and OpenAPI specs, chunks and embeds them with OpenAI or Gemini, stores vectors in Pinecone, and serves search via MCP and REST from a Cloudflare Worker you deploy.

Ask Claude to search your internal documentation for answers to technical questions quickly.
Generate summaries of your company's API documentation for new team onboarding.
Find relevant policy documents and compliance guidelines across your documentation repository.
