# Connect an AI Agent to PM's Documentation via MCP

> PM's docs site hosts a free, no-auth search MCP server at pm-plugin.dev/mcp. Connect Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code so your agent can search and retrieve PM documentation on demand.

This site hosts a search [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (Model Context Protocol) server at `pm-plugin.dev/mcp` — free, no authentication required. Any MCP-capable AI tool can connect to it and search or retrieve PM's documentation directly, instead of relying on training data or a generic web search.

<Tip>
  This is a **search** MCP server — read-only. It lets an agent look things up in PM's docs; it does not let it edit anything or manage your project. Pair it with `llms.txt`/`llms-full.txt` (see the Introduction page) if you want an agent to load broader context up front rather than searching on demand.
</Tip>

## What it exposes

Two tools, both read-only:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Search" icon="magnifying-glass">
    Semantic search across PM's docs. Returns contextual content with titles and direct links to the matching pages.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Filesystem query" icon="folder-tree">
    Run read-only, shell-like queries (`rg`, `head`, `cat`, `tree`, etc.) against a virtualized, in-memory filesystem containing PM's docs — for exact keyword/regex matches or reading a specific page's full content by path.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Connect to Claude Code

Add PM's docs as an MCP server, naming it `pm-docs` so it's clear what it's for (a documentation server, not a project-management tool):

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http pm-docs https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp
```

Add `--scope user` instead of the default (`local`, this project only) to make it available across every project on your machine:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user pm-docs https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp
```

Verify the connection:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp list
```

You should see `pm-docs: https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp (HTTP) - ✔ Connected`.

## Connect to Claude (claude.ai)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add pm-docs as a custom connector">
    1. Navigate to the [Connectors](https://claude.ai/settings/connectors) page in Claude settings.
    2. Click **Add custom connector**.
    3. Add the connector:
       * Name: `pm-docs`
       * URL: `https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp`
    4. Click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in a chat">
    Click the attachments button, then select `pm-docs`. Claude can now search PM's documentation while answering your prompt.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect to Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP config (Command Palette → **Open MCP settings** → **Add custom MCP**):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pm-docs": {
      "url": "https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Connect to VS Code

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project:

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "pm-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Other AI agents and tools

Any MCP client that supports HTTP transport can connect using the same URL (`https://pm-plugin.dev/mcp`) and the `pm-docs` name — the connection steps above are Claude Code-specific, but the underlying server works identically for any compliant client. This page will grow to cover more tools as they're set up against this site.

<Note>
  Connect only the MCP servers relevant to your current work, and disconnect ones you're not using — connected servers don't consume context until an agent actually calls a search tool, but keeping the list lean makes it easier for the agent to pick the right one.
