> "RTFM!" they say, but what if there's no FM to R? 🤔 Enter MCP-RTFM: an MCP server that helps you create the Fing Manual everyone keeps telling people to read! Using advanced content analysis, metadata generation, and intelligent search capabilities, it transforms your non-existent or unreadable docs into an interconnected knowledge base that actually answers those "basic questions" before they're asked.
> Plot twist: Instead of just telling people to RTFM, now you can actually give them an FM worth R-ing! Because the best response to "read the fing manual" is having a manual that's actually worth reading. 📚✨
