Context Repo DocsMCP Server
Connect your AI assistant to Context Repo with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Access 26 tools for managing prompts, documents, collections, and search — directly from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and more.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting between your AI assistant and Context Repo, MCP gives your assistant direct access to your prompts, documents, and collections — so it can read, create, update, and search your workspace without you ever leaving the conversation.
Why MCP Matters
Without MCP, working with AI context looks something like this:
- Open Context Repo in one tab, your AI assistant in another
- Copy a prompt, switch tabs, paste it in
- Get a response, switch back, save it as a document
- Repeat for every interaction
With the Context Repo MCP Server, your AI assistant handles all of this directly. Ask it to list your prompts, create a document, search your collections, or explore content chunk by chunk — all through natural conversation.
One connection. 26 tools. Zero tab-switching.

Deep Search is designed for exploring large documents progressively. Start with deep_search to find relevant passages, use deep_read to examine them in detail, and deep_expand to navigate through the document's structure without loading everything at once.
Authentication
The MCP Server supports two authentication methods:
- Clerk OAuth (primary) — When you connect through a supported client like Cursor or Claude Desktop, you'll sign in with your Context Repo account. This is the recommended method and happens automatically during setup.
- API Key (fallback) — Generate an API key from Dashboard > Settings > API Keys and pass it as the authentication token. This works with any MCP-compatible client and is useful for programmatic access.
Both methods give you access to all 26 tools for your account.
