mdbook-mcp-server

A generic MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for mdbook projects. This server allows Claude Code and other MCP clients to access and read mdbook documentation programmatically.

Features

📖 Read mdbook structure: Get the table of contents from SUMMARY.md and metadata from book.toml
📄 Read content: Access individual markdown files within the mdbook project
🔒 Secure: Path traversal protection ensures files can only be accessed within the mdbook root
🚀 Generic: Works with any mdbook project, not just specific ones
⚡ Simple: Minimal configuration required - just set an environment variable
📦 Easy to install: Available via npm, no complex setup needed

Installation

You can use npx to run the server without installing it globally:

npx mdbook-mcp-server

Usage

With Claude Code

Add the following configuration to your Claude Code config file (~/.config/claude/config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-mdbook": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mdbook-mcp-server"],
      "env": {

        "MDBOOK_SERVER_NAME": "my_mdbook"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables:

MDBOOK_ROOT_PATH (required): Absolute path to your mdbook project root (where book.toml is located)
MDBOOK_SERVER_NAME (optional): A friendly name for the server (defaults to "mdbook-mcp-server")

    "mdbook-project-a": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mdbook-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MDBOOK_ROOT_PATH": "/path/to/project-a",
        "MDBOOK_SERVER_NAME": "project_a"
      }
    },
    "mdbook-project-b": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mdbook-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MDBOOK_ROOT_PATH": "/path/to/project-b",
        "MDBOOK_SERVER_NAME": "project_b"
      }
