You Should Know:

1. Setting Up the MkDocs-MCP Server

To deploy the MkDocs-MCP Server, follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  • AWS CLI configured (aws configure)

  • Docker (for containerized deployment)

Installation Steps:

 Clone the repository 
git clone https://github.com/serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp.git 
cd mkdocs-mcp

Install dependencies 
pip install -r requirements.txt

Deploy using AWS SAM 
sam build 
sam deploy --guided

Verify Deployment:

curl -X GET https://YOUR_API_GATEWAY_URL/search?query=aws+strands

2. Integrating with Amazon Q CLI

To connect MkDocs-MCP with Amazon Q CLI, use:

 Configure Q CLI to use the MCP endpoint 
q configure set docs_provider mkdocs-mcp --endpoint https://YOUR_MCP_ENDPOINT

3. Querying Documentation via AI Agents

Run a test query:

q docs search "AWS Strands Framework" --format json

4. Extending to Custom MkDocs Sites

To link another MkDocs site:

 Build and serve locally 
mkdocs build 
mkdocs serve

Register with MCP Server 
curl -X POST https://YOUR_MCP_ENDPOINT/register \ 
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
-d '{"site_url": "http://localhost:8000", "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}'

5. Automating with AWS Lambda

Deploy a Lambda function to sync MkDocs updates:

import boto3 
import requests

def sync_mkdocs(event, context): 
response = requests.post("https://YOUR_MCP_ENDPOINT/update", json={"force_refresh": True}) 
return response.json()
