This is the thing I don't really love about MCP: Why should it require a separate protocol, rather than just good readable documentation?




This is devdocs to be consumed by LLMs, https://github.com/upstash/context7

Brilliant (and one less think I don't have to build)!


I'm glad this exists, but can you describe to me why it needs to? Why can't agents just read the docs directly?


By returning detailed docs for exactly what the AI is coding at the time, it greatly reduces the the likelihood it will make a mistake. It moves from a recall from the training data problem, to a transcription problem.

This is RAG but for API docs.
