DocBase MCP server

The Docbase MCP server enables you to search, retrieve, and create posts through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It integrates with Docbase document management to provide simple API interaction.

Installation

To install the Docbase MCP server, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/shogo-ma/docbase-mcp-server.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd docbase-mcp-server
   

3. Build the server executable:

   go build -o docbase-mcp-server
   

Configuration

After building the server, you need to configure the MCP connection settings:

1. Create or modify the .cursor/mcp.json file with the following content:

   {
       "mcpServers": {
           "docbase-mcp-server": {
               "command": "your build path"
           },
           "env": {
               "DOCBASE_API_DOMAIN": "your docbase domain",
               "DOCBASE_API_TOKEN": "your api key"
           }
       }
   }
   

2. Replace the placeholder values:

   • your build path: The full path to the docbase-mcp-server executable
   • your docbase domain: Your Docbase domain name
   • your api key: Your Docbase API token

Available Features

The Docbase MCP server supports these core operations:

• Search Posts: Find posts with specific criteria
• Get Post: Retrieve a specific post by ID
• Create Post: Add new content to your Docbase

Running the Server

Once configured, you can run the server executable directly. The server will listen for MCP requests based on your configuration settings.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
