From the repository
Use AppSumo Docs MCP with any MCP client by adding a server entry that runs npx -y appsumo-docs-mcp. No configuration is needed because the docs are bundled in the npm package. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport stdio appsumo-docs -- npx -y appsumo-docs-mcp; for Claude Desktop, edit the claude_desktop_config.json file.
search_appsumo_docs
Search the AppSumo licensing documentation for a keyword or phrase. Use this first — it returns relevant snippets with context across all pages. Prefer this over get_appsumo_doc unless you need the full content of a specific page.
list_appsumo_docs
List all available AppSumo documentation pages. Use this to discover which pages exist before fetching one with get_appsumo_doc.
get_appsumo_doc
Fetch the full content of a specific AppSumo documentation page by filename. Only use this when search_appsumo_docs snippets are insufficient and you need the complete content of a particular page. Use list_appsumo_docs first to find the correct filename.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
