Ever been told to RTFM only to find there is no FM to R? MCP-RTFM helps you CREATE the F*ing Manual that people keep telling everyone to read! Transform your non-existent or unreadable docs into an intelligent, searchable knowledge base that actually answers those 'basic questions' before they're asked.
Configuration

}You deploy MCP-RTFM to automatically generate and organize documentation by analyzing content, generating metadata, and building a searchable knowledge base. This server helps you create readable, interlinked docs that answer questions before they’re asked, making your project documentation fast to navigate and easy to maintain.
You connect an MCP client to the MCP-RTFM server to initialize and manage your documentation. Use the enhanced tools to analyze project content, generate metadata, and build a searchable index. You can initialize documentation, read and update files, search for relevant topics, and discover related documents based on content and metadata.
Prerequisites: you need a working Node.js runtime and npm installed on your system.
Install dependencies for the MCP server and build the project.
Build the server to prepare the runtime artifacts.
Configure your MCP client to connect to the server instance and start using it.
The server provides a set of documentation management tools that you can invoke from your MCP client, including analyzing existing docs, initializing documentation with metadata, updating content and metadata, and performing intelligent searches across your docs.
