Setup

Repository: https://github.com/lwsinclair/markdown-sidecar-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
Serve and access markdown documentation for locally installed NPM, Go, or PyPi packages.
This provides a structured way to serve and access markdown documentation from an MCP server for NPM packages, Go Modules, or PyPi packages. It enables informed code generation by exposing these markdown files asresourcesortools.
[!NOTE]
Note: Many PyPi packages do not have markdown docs exposed, so this library will also mount pythonhelproot docs by default.
This is designed to be executed from within a project directory where the requested packages are already installed locally. Access always stays within your local environments working directory.
- workingDir: The working directory of your repo.
- packageName: The name of the package or module to request
- registry: Registry the package will be found in (npm,gomodules, orpypi)
- docsSubDir: [OPTIONAL] The specific subdirectory to look for markdown docs in. Defaults to package root.
- mcpPrimitive: [OPTIONAL] The MCP primitive to expose from the server (toolorresource). This defaults totool, some clients do not currently support resources.
Add the following server definition to your.cursor/mcp.jsonfile:
{ "mcpServers": { "sidecar": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "--package", "markdown-sidecar-mcp", "--", "mcp", "start", "--workingDir", "{REPO_WORKING_DIR}", "--packageName", "{PACKAGE_NAME}", "--registry", "npm" ] } } }
