# Fonto Docs MCP

> An MCP server and HTTP API that makes the Fonto documentation accessible to AI tools. The Fonto docs site is a JavaScript SPA — this server fetches the underlying XML and converts it to clean Markdown on demand.

## MCP tools

Connect to this server at https://fonto-docs.elliat.nl/mcp (HTTP transport, no authentication required).

- **search_fonto_docs(query)** — Full-text search, returns results ranked by relevance with titles, descriptions, and slugs. Best for looking up a concept, API name, or feature by keyword.
- **get_fonto_page(slug)** — Fetch the full content of a Fonto documentation page by its slug (the part of the URL after /latest/). Use search_fonto_docs or list_pages first to find the right slug.
- **lookup_api(name)** — Resolve a Fonto API symbol by exact name (e.g. 'documentsManager', 'createIconWidget') to its full documentation page in one call. Case-sensitive first; same-named pages are listed as alternatives; returns search suggestions if nothing matches.
- **list_pages(keyword)** — Filter pages by title, product, or ancestry keyword. Returns all matches without ranking — useful when you know the product area or part of the page title. For the complete catalog use the fonto://catalog resource.

## MCP resources

- **fonto://catalog** — All ~2000 Fonto documentation pages with real titles, product grouping, and full ancestry paths (e.g. "Configure > Tables > CALS tables"). Fetched once on first use and cached.
- **fonto://page/{slug}** (resource template) — Address any documentation page directly as a resource by its slug.

## HTTP API

- GET /search?q={query} — Search documentation pages. Returns JSON object with a `results` array of {title, slug, url, description}.
- GET /page/{slug} — Fetch a page as Markdown. Example: /page/documentsmanager-f746b3a48442
- GET /api/{name} — Fetch the page for an API symbol by exact name, as Markdown. 404 with JSON `suggestions` if no page has that name. Example: /api/documentsManager
- GET /catalog — Full page catalog as Markdown, grouped by section. Add ?section={keyword} to filter.

## MCP setup
