Quick start

Overview

This is the fastest path from a documentation URL to a working MCP server. No install, no clone, no third-party API keys.

Why it matters

You will have a live, queryable version of any docs site that your AI tools can read — in the time it takes to copy a link.

Step-by-step

1. Sign in at doc2mcp.site.
2. Open the chat and enable the doc2mcp toggle in the input.
3. Paste a docs URL and press enter:

https://docs.stripe.comhttps://docs.anthropic.comhttps://platform.openai.com/docshttps://github.com/openai/openai-python

4. Wait for ready. The convert page shows live progress (crawling → analyzing → generating → ready).
5. Copy the config and token from the result page.

{  "mcpServers": {    "stripe": {      "url": "https://doc2mcp.site/api/mcp/<projectId>/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <project-token>" }    }  }}

6. Connect a client. See Connect to Cursor or Connect to Claude Desktop.

Tip The server id (e.g. stripe) is derived from the docs hostname, so configs read naturally.

Best practices

• Paste the docs URL, not the homepage. doc2mcp redirects stripe.com to docs.stripe.com automatically, but being explicit is faster.
• Keep the token private — anyone with the URL + token can read that project's crawled docs.
